Abstract: Excerpt from the report: Transit temperatures and market quality of western lettuce were studied in test shipments made from California to east coast markets in piggyback trailers. Comparisons were made between trailers in which liquid nitrogen was used both to refrigerate the load and to modify the atmosphere and trailers with conventional mechanical refrigerating systems and normal atmospheres.
