Excerpt from Precooling Rail Shipments of Illinois Peaches: With Special Reference to the Use of Ventilated Packages In the laboratory tests referred to above, the most rapid cooling took place in ventilated bushel baskets with wide cracks between the staves. Peaches packed in this type of ventilated basket without any liner cooled down to 50 F. In less than 6 hours, or in less than half the time required for the contents of a standard lined tub bushel. Other workers have shown that for safe carriage the temperature of peaches should be reduced to 50 F. As quickly as possible. It is reason able to assume that with rapid cooling, peaches could be allowed to become more mature and of better flavor before picking.
