Σύνοψη	Fruit color analysis employs spectrophotometric measurement to quantify ripeness and quality based on chromatic properties. Using the CIE L*a*b* color space, introduced in 1976, this non-destructive method objectively grades fruit maturity and predicts sensory acceptability. It is widely applied in commercial sorting lines and research settings for precision quality control.	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.
