Product description

Lemons are usually of an elongated shape with a peel of variable thickness and pointed tip. The juicy pulp of a medium-sized lemon contains 30 - 35 g of lemon juice, which has a high vitamin C content (60 - 100 mg per 100 g of fruit). Lemons are divided into winter and summer fruits.

Quality / Duration of storage

The fruits should have thin peel, be nearly seedless and very juicy, i.e. have a minimum juice content of 20 - 25%, be undamaged and unmarked (dry and hard peel and spots indicate over-aging and off-flavors) and have a firm, glossy peel.

Experience has shown that it is the care taken with preparation of the fruit for shipping which very largely determines whether individual batches withstand the rigors of transport. Such preparation for shipping is carried out in packing houses. 
Maximum duration of storage and transport is as follows:

Designation	Temperature	Rel. humidity	Max. duration of storage
	10 - 11°C	80 - 90%	12 weeks
	12 - 14°C	85 - 90%	16 - 24 weeks
Green lemons	12 - 14°C	85 - 90%	4 - 20 weeks
Yellow lemons	10 - 11°C	85 - 90%	4 - 6 weeks

Where controlled atmosphere transport is used, transport and storage duration may be extended. The following parameters apply in such a case:

Temperature	Rel. humidity	O 2	CO 2	Suitability for controlled atmosphere
10.0 - 12.8°C	85 - 90%	5%	5 - 10%	good

Packaging

Lemons are transported in boxes and cartons.

Container transport

Refrigerated container with fresh air supply or controlled atmosphere.

RF Temperature

Lemons require particular temperature, humidity/moisture and ventilation conditions (SC VII) (storage climate conditions) .

A written cooling order must be obtained from the consignor before loading is begun. This order must always be complied with during the entire transport chain.

The following Tables merely constitute an estimate of appropriate temperature ranges. Temperatures may deviate from these values, depending on the particular transport conditions.

Designation	Temperature range	Source
Travel temperature	10 - 11°C	[1]
	10 - 13°C	[2]
	12 - 14°C	[5]
	10 - 12°C	[6]
