Pre-cooling is meant to remove the field heat.Pre-cooling is a vital post-harvest management practice that is required before storage. Since there is a big difference between the temperature of harvested crops and cooling storage, the main purpose of pre-cooling is to remove the heat from the crops after they are harvested.
There are seven principal methods of pre-cooling fresh produce:
