How Accurate Are Gas Readings in Humid Environments?

How Accurate Are Gas Readings in Humid Environments

Gas readings in humid environments can be highly accurate, but only when the analyzer, sampling method, and operating conditions match the job. In postharvest storage, modified atmosphere packaging, ripening rooms, and cold chain inspections, humidity is not a side issue. It is part of the atmosphere being measured. Water vapor can affect sensors, tubing, filters,… Continue reading…

AVO AI: De la medición a un sistema de decisiones para la calidad del aguacate

Durante años, la conversación sobre la calidad del aguacate ha sido la misma. Se invierte en mejores herramientas. Se recolectan más datos. Se refinan los métodos de muestreo. Y aun así, persisten las mismas dudas: ¿Estamos muestreando lo suficiente?¿Estamos tomando la decisión correcta de cosecha?¿Estamos detectando la variabilidad a tiempo? Porque el desafío nunca ha… Continue reading…

7 Metrics Every Postharvest Facility Should Track Weekly

Dry matter in storage enviornment

Postharvest facility metrics should never be treated like background paperwork. They are one of the clearest ways to catch quality drift before it turns into shrink, claims, or rejected loads. A weekly review gives postharvest teams a repeatable way to connect room conditions, fruit physiology, and packout results. It also helps separate guesswork from actual… Continue reading…

Fixed vs Portable Ethylene Monitoring Compared

Ethylene monitoring is central to maintaining fruit quality through storage, transport, and ripening. Even trace levels of ethylene, measured in parts per billion, can alter respiration rates, accelerate ripening, or shorten shelf life. Because ethylene’s impact varies across commodities and handling stages, the way it’s monitored determines how effectively operations preserve product quality and reduce… Continue reading…
