Description
Mozhgan RaeesiNejad, Hamed Kaveh, and Hassan Feizi test treatments that keep bell peppers fresh in cold storage, in a study from 2025. Peppers spoil fast and suffer in the cold, which cuts their market life. Two regulator sprays can slow ripening and shield tissue. The team varied when each spray was applied: before harvest, after harvest, or both.
Two pepper types went into cold storage for twenty-eight days. A nitric oxide donor sprayed before harvest worked best for both. It kept vitamin C and antioxidants high and held weight loss down. Treated fruit also kept its membranes intact and showed less chilling harm. Picking the right timing mattered as much as the spray itself. The authors offer growers a clear, cultivar-aware plan for storage.
