Abstract

A method of cooling and a cooling installation in which the method can be carried out includes two or more separate compartments for receiving product so as to cool the product by sequential movement through each compartment in turn wherein the temperature drop in any one compartment reduces the temperature of exit of the product to a temperature about half of the temperature of introduction of the product to the compartments. Advantages of the present invention include that the time taken to cool the product to the required temperature is considerably reduced as the cooling is more effective. The present invention finds particular application to treating fresh produce such as fresh fruit and vegetables, particularly table grapes so as to reduce the incidence of spoilage or deterioration and to increase the usable shelf life.
