Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the changes of temperature and relative humidity in refrigerated truck during commercial logistics of sweet cherry, and to obtain the appropriate storage period at different temperatures after transportation. The temperature and relative humidity during the whole commercial logistics process were recorded by automatic temperature and humidity recorder. On arrival, sweet cherry was stored at 0, 5 and 20 ℃ , respectively. The temperature was 15.4~27.3 ℃ and the relative humidity was 64.5% ~97.6% in refrigerated truck of sweet cherry without pre-cooling during the 30 h logistics. Sweet cherry stored at 0~5 ℃ after transportation kept better qualities. In conclusion, sweet cherry without pre-cooling could be long-distance transported in refrigerated truck. However, these fruits were not suitable for long-term storage, and need to sold in a timely manner. Even if stored under cold storage condition after transportation, sales period of sweet cherry should not be more than 5 d after harvest.
