Did you know that fruits continue to 'breathe' even after they've been harvested?

This respiration process plays a pivotal role in fruits' quality and shelf life. However, controlling this process can be a tricky balancing act. Too much respiration can lead to rapid deterioration and loss of sensory qualities, while too little can hinder fruit ripening and quality development.

In our latest post, we delve into the intricacies of fruit respiration, from the roles of oxygen and carbon dioxide to the impact of factors like temperature and fruit type. So, if you've ever wondered why your apple turns brown or why bananas ripen faster in a bag, this article is a must-read!
