Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for fresh eggplant (all types; HB66 gives one set of storage conditions). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Temperature

10 to 12°C (50 to 54°F)

Humidity

90-95%

Shelf Life

up to 14 days

Packaging

Ventilated, breathable packaging to maintain humidity while preventing moisture accumulation. Prefabricated bags with microperforations or polyethylene bags with 0.05 mm thickness can be used.

Eggplants are chilling sensitive (surface pitting, scald, browned flesh and seeds followed by decay), lose water quickly, bruise easily, and should never be held in contact with ice. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Highest freezing point: -0.8°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
