摘要	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.	Ripeness index combines multiple quality measurements—soluble solids, firmness, color, starch degradation, ethylene production—into a single composite score indicating fruit maturity and harvest readiness. Unlike single-parameter metrics, this integrated approach accounts for cultivar variation and environmental influence to predict consumer acceptability more reliably. It is widely adopted in export industries and research settings to standardize harvest decisions.
