How to Keep Apricots Fresh during Transportation?

Apricots are vulnerable to improper temperature. Freshliance BlueTag T10 bluetooth temperature data logger can monitor the temperature of its cold chain, and read reports via mobile phone to ensure their freshness at the destination.

When it reaches its optimum level of maturity, the apricot is a fruit of a beautiful orange colour, slightly juicy and tender. Apricots are considered to be the best sources of vitamin E, C, and vitamin A period they provide a large number of antioxidants, iron, fiber, and calories. Therefore, eating apricot can prevent night blindness, reduce skin issues and promote gut health. The apricot market is expected to grow well in the coming years as there has been an increase in the health consciousness. The ripe apricot fruit is soft,  juicy, and delicate, so fresh apricots demand more finesse during transportation.

Temperature is very important for apricots. Apricots are harvested when the weather is getting hot. At present, the most ideal method is to adopt cold chain logistics, which can be transported at 4~6℃ for 3~5 days. Apricots can still keep fresh. Fresh apricots are one of the least tolerant fruits. It can be stored for up to 5~7 days at room temperature during the harvest period. Fruit preservation storage is very important to reduce losses and increase income. At present, the most effective storage technology is cryogenic storage, which can be stored at 1℃ for about 23 days. According to the study, the optimal temperature for cryopreservation of apricot fruit is 0.5~1℃, and the optimal relative temperature is 90%. Under the optimal condition, the loss rate of apricot fruit is no more than 5.0% when stored for 2 weeks. If you dip below that temperature, you may see the injury, mealiness in texture, or loss of flavor.
