Topic Reading-Vol.1685-11/21/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How do you keep bananas fresh as they cross the oceans?
How long are bananas you bought palatable, or at least edible? As you know by experience, bananas shouldn’t be kept in the fridge unless you want the yellow peels turn dark brown. Then don’t you wonder why bananas look fresh at stores after a long journey from the subtropical plantation? They must have been kept in a tightly controlled environment to get perfectly ripe at the shelves, not before.
Bananas are shipped in refrigerated containers that are monitored and controlled by Remote Container Management, or RCM system. It allows the shipping companies to even expect the conditions of the bananas in the containers, so that they can not only guarantee the quality but also reduce the time for inspection.
Another area that modern technology is used to entice your daily life.
Enjoy reading the article and seeing the photos of transport, and say how are you to your next banana.
