Practical Investigation and Study of Banana Ripening Chamber

This paper discusses the application of cold room approach to design a well-defined ripening room for banana storage and produce effective air flow around the banana crates. Recent days the fruit storage is important factors according maintain fruits quality, flavour and texture of banana i.e. mainly fulfil by harvest and storage it effectively which is developed and design a well-insulated ripening room for climacteric fruit. High performing cold rooms gives exact efficiency of cooling effect by proper investigation and designing a ripening chamber. A cold room or ripening chamber is a refrigeration system or building designed for storage of foods stuffs, fruits, vegetable, dairy products, sea products and meat within well-defined temperature range and relative humidity (RH). It is also an application of air conditioning, that air is cooled by passing around a cooling coil of refrigeration system and supplied back to cold room. These cold storage facilities are usually built to store perishable fruits. The fruits storage may vary according to size. The scope of the project is to design a well-defined ripening chamber for banana harvesting under controlled temperature and relative humidity. There is a loss of moisture due to low temperature humidification. For moisture control using evaporative humidifier which leads to maintain the product quality and increasing shelf life. And also obtain refrigerant effect and cop of chamber.
