Abstract

Optimizing the ventilation design of packaging system is of crucial importance for improving the efficiency of the forced-air precooling process to maintain the quality of horticultural produce and extend the shelf life in food cold chain. Many efforts had been devoted to the study about the impact of ventilation design on airflow and temperature distribution inside ventilated packages. This paper reviews relevant research methods, commonly used quantities for the measurement of precooling effectiveness, attractive design parameters, and their impact on precooling effectiveness. These allow us to know exactly the characteristic and deficiency of each research method, identify dominant design parameters, and seek a promising way for the future improvement of the ventilated packaging system.
