PERISHABLE VS. DURABLE CROPS
I haved learned that perishables crops is very different from
the durable crops . The perishable crop are the crops that not last long it
includes the vegetables and fruits . They have very high moisture content . Fruits and vegetables should be harvested at mature stage . They
are not keep very long once harvested and they need to give proper care in
order to maintain its quality and good apperance until it will reach to the
consumer . One of example of it is the avocado . It not last long when you
harvest it .
The Durable crops are the crops that
could last for a year. These includes
the grains , cereal and legumes like
peanut , mungbean and soybean . The moisture content of most durable crops is brought down to a low level
(14 %) , so it could last for a year . This crop can store for a long period of
time .
Therefore there are some characteristic of perishable crops
from durable crops. Fruits and vegetables is alive so metabolism continues
until the crop deteriorates, the greater the amount of photosynthates as source
of energy,the longer the postharvest life.
The perishable crops are living tissue , commodities are continuous to
change .
