Question

Accepted Answer

Rate of respiration is decreased. The shelf life of fruits and vegetables can be increased by keeping them in cold storage, these results in a slower ripening process and fruits and vegetables remain fresh for a longer duration. • Notably, fruits when stored in a cold chamber exhibit a longer storage life because their rate of respiration is decreased. When fruit respires they release out ethylene which helps in ripening.
