The document provides information about the optimal storage conditions for several produce items:
- Lettuce lasts 2-3 weeks at 1°C and 14 days at 5°C with no ethylene present. Controlled atmosphere storage extends its shelf life. It is sensitive to freezing.
- Camel milk can be stored for 8-10 days at 2-5°C if pasteurized and cooled. It has various nutritional benefits.
- Gherkins last 10-14 days at 7-12°C and 90-95% humidity. Controlled atmosphere extends their shelf life by 7 days. They are sensitive to contamination by oils.
- Mangoes last 10-14 days at 13°C if mature

Presented at World Conference Cold chain - Thaifex 2013. Opportunity and Challenges in emerging markets, case study India. Cold chain development, the need and the success in hand. Market prospects for cold chain in emerging markets with focus on India.
Why worry about Organised Retail (or FDI in retail). It can bring organisation and promote economic co-operation and development but will require a shift in current day mindsets.

Its composition is closer to human milk than cow's milk is. Camel milk is slightly saltier than cows’ milk, three times as rich in Vitamin C and is known to be rich in iron, unsaturated fatty acids and B vitamins. It also contains antibodies, and these may help fight serious diseases like cancer, HIV / Aids, Alzheimer's and Hepatitis B.<br />Camel milk is packed with vitamins which clean out the body, externally and internally. As the story goes, Queen Cleopatra was a big fan and used to bathe in the stuff. Just drinking the milk is said to yield a healthy complexion. Camel milk is also said to have many other healthful properties and is claimed to be an aphrodisiac.<br />Camel milk cannot be made into butter in the traditional churning method. It can be made if it is soured first, churned, and then a clarifying agent is added, or if it is churned at 24–25 °C (75–76 °F), but times will vary greatly in achieving results. The milk can readily be made into yogurt. Butter or yogurt made from camel milk can have a very faint greenish tinge. <br />Estimated global camel milk output as 5.3 million tonnes, although even this may be a conservative estimate. Lactating camels each produce between 1,000 and 12,000 litres of milk for anywhere between 8 and 18 months.<br />Camel Milk Properties:<br />Camel’s milk is generally opaque white.<br />It has a sweet and sharp taste, but sometimes it can be salty. The taste generally depends on the type of fodder and availability of drinking water. <br />The pH of camel’s milk ranges from 6.2 to 6.5 and the density from 1.026 to 1.035. <br />Both density and pH are lower than those of cow’s milk.<br />Camel Milk Optimal Conditions:<br />Stored at 2 to 5 °C / lasts for 8 to 10 days.<br />The above is applicable only if the milk is pasteurized (heat treated), bottled and finally cooled at 4°C.<br />No preservatives added.<br />Gherkins facts:<br />4343400133350<br />Gherkins stowage Factor:<br />2 to 3 m3 per ton.<br />70 to 105 ft3 per ton.<br />Gherkin Respiration rate:<br />@ 10 °C, 60 watts per ton, 10 ml CO2/kg/h<br />@ 15 °C, 96 watts per ton, 16 ml CO2/kg/h<br />@ 20 °C, 141 watts per ton, 24 ml CO2/kg/h<br />@ 25 °C, 168 watts per ton, 28 ml CO2/kg/h<br />Gherkin Water Content:<br />96% water, Specific heat (kJ/kg/°C) 4.06<br />Gherkin Other Properties:<br />Ethylene– Low Producer, Ethylene sensitivity – High, Freezes at -0.5 °C<br />Ice Compatible – No, Optimal RH – 90 – 95%, Impact/Pressure sensitive.<br />Gherkin Optimal Conditions:<br />Stored at 7 to 12 °C / 90 – 95% RH, lasts from 10 to 14 days.<br />Benefit of Controlled Atmosphere, Fair (+7 days).<br />Sensitive to contamination by fats and oils.<br />24999951069975443865010699755619751069975<br />Mango facts:<br />308610062230Stowage factor: <br />2.27-2.55 m3 /t (fruit crates) [1] <br />2.26-2.83 m3 /t [14]<br />Mango Respiration rate:<br />@ 10 °C, 12-16 ml CO2/kg/h<br />@ 13 °C, 25-22 ml CO2/kg/h<br />@ 15 °C, 19-28 ml CO2/kg/h<br />@ 20 °C, 35-80 ml CO2/kg/h<br />Rate of Ethylene production:<br />@ 10°C, 0.1-0.5 ul C2H4 /kg ∙ hr <br />@ 13 °C, 0.2-1.0 ul C2H4 /kg ∙ hr<br />@ 15 °C, 0.3-4.0 ul C2H4 /kg ∙ hr <br />@ 15 °C, 0.5-8.0 ul C2H4 /kg ∙ hr<br />Mango Water Content:<br />85-90% water, Specific heat (kJ/kg/°C)<br />Mango Other Properties:<br />Ethylene– Low Producer, Ethylene sensitivity – High<br />Exposure to 100-ppm ethylene for 12 to 24 hours at 20 to 22°C and 90-95% relative humidity results in accelerated and uniform ripening of mangoes within 5-9 days, depending on cultivar and maturity stage.<br />CO2 concentration should be kept below 1% in the ripening room.<br />Careful handling to minimize mechanical injuries. <br />Hot water treatment: 5-10 minutes (depending on fruit size) dip in 50°C ± 2°C (122°F ± 4°F) water. <br />Post harvest fungicide (imazalil or thiabendazole) treatment alone or in combination with hot water treatment maintaining optimum temperature and relative humidity during all handling steps.<br />Mango Optimal Conditions:<br />13°C for mature-green mangoes <br />10°C for partially-ripe and ripe mangoes <br />90 – 95% RH lasts from 10 to 14 days.<br />Sensitive to contamination by fats and oils.<br />Optimum CA 3-5% O2 and 5-8% CO2 <br />CA delays ripening and reduces respiration and ethylene production rates.
