Papaya storage at room temperature
Sales of matured papaya in the production area and near the production area, storage outside the packing room or trans-shipment are only temporary, and the warehouse only requires good ventilation and sanitation. Because the storage period is short and does not require cold temperature conditions, in this way, under the hot summer and cold winter room temperature, the operators must organize and sell reasonably according to the characteristics that the papayas are ripe and easy to rot during hot weather and slow to ripen after winter. Mature fruits harvested in autumn and winter sometimes require artificial ripening methods to accelerate fruit ripening in order to be marketable. The ripening method is to put a small amount of calcium carbide into the water of the paper bag in each packing box. The packaging does not allow ventilation. After 1-2 days, the pericarp turns bright yellow and can be used for food. Papaya harvested in winter, the local colder air temperature, is conducive to the storage of fruit, if the northern transport to the atmospheric temperature below 12 °C below the area, the transport box is required to have anti-cold facilities to avoid cold fruit damage .
