Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Approximately 70 percent of the western iceberg lettuce production presently moves to market by truck-trailer in tightly stacked loads. Lettuce cartons are tightly stacked to provide the trucker a maximum payload, since lettuce is a relatively low-density product. The purpose of this study was to determine if lettuce would be maintained at or near recommended transit temperatures in a refrigerated trailer equipped with a reverse airflow circulation system that forces air vertically through a tight-stacked load, rather than around its perimeter.
