Zusammenfassung	Postharvest storage simulation uses computational models to predict fruit and vegetable quality degradation during storage and distribution under variable temperature and humidity conditions. Pioneered by Tijskens and Nicolaï in 2001, these mechanistic and empirical models enable logistics optimization, reduce food waste, and improve supply chain transparency. They are integrated into decision support systems for commercial packinghouses and research facilities.	Controlled atmosphere (CA) storage extends fruit shelf life beyond cold storage alone by actively regulating oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentrations during storage. By reducing respiration and ethylene production rates, CA storage can maintain fruit quality for months. This advanced technique is expensive but economically justified for premium fruit destined for long-distance export or extended market windows.
