Maintaining egg freshness in the absence of refrigeration: The potential of zero‐energy cooling pots
Abstract Background Egg storage in regions with unreliable electricity is challenging, leading to rapid quality deterioration and postharvest losses. This study evaluated the efficacy of a Zero‐Energy Cooling (ZEC) pot, an evaporative cooling technology, for preserving table egg quality in comparison to conventional refrigeration and ambient storage ...
