Overview

Observational analysis revealed an increase in tomato shelf life to 33 days with evaporative cooling, indicating improved storage conditions.

Key Points

  • Tomato shelf life improved to 33 days when stored in the evaporative cooler, compared to 7 days in ambient conditions.
  • The evaporative cooler maintained a storage temperature range of 14.5-20°C with a relative humidity of 77-88%.
  • Designed using a mild steel frame and insulated with polystyrene foam, it features a cooling jute pad and a suction fan.
  • The system shows potential for extending the freshness of produce, which may benefit farmers and retailers.
