Abstract

Excerpt from the report Summary: Methods used in precooling and shipping Louisiana strawberries were studied in 26 tests on precooling and 26 on shipping (17 by rail and 9 by truck). In addition, tests were conducted in cooperation with Louisiana State University on experimental fiberboard containers, and on the performance of fans for precooling the berries in the car before shipment. The research was undertaken to determine how effective improved express cars and trucks can refrigerate strawberries in transit, and the amount of precooling in vehicles that is necessary before shipment begins. The study is a part of a broad program of research aimed at expanding the market for farm products.
