Σύνοψη	Cold storage protocol establishes optimal temperature, humidity, and duration guidelines for preserving fruit and vegetable quality during extended storage. By maintaining precise refrigeration conditions and monitoring produce condition, growers and distributors can extend shelf life from days to weeks or months, enabling long-distance trade and seasonal market smoothing. This foundational postharvest technique is essential to global fresh produce supply chains.	Brix measurement quantifies the dissolved solids (primarily sugars) in fruit juice using refractometry, a non-destructive optical technique. Introduced by Carl Zeiss in the 19th century and standardized by AOAC, it is the universal industry standard for assessing fruit ripeness and quality in horticulture and postharvest processing.
