Who is bringing the watermelon? Make sure it's stored at room temperature!

A new study shows storing watermelon in the fridge can have a chilling effect on its nutritional value.<P class=StoryText align=justify>Researchers in the United States Department of Agriculture have found that watermelons stored at room temperature have significantly more antioxidants and other nutrients than watermelons kept in the refrigerator.<P class=StoryText align=justify>Watermelon is a rich source of carotenoid compounds, such as lycopene and beta carotene, which are natural antioxidants linked to a number of health benefits, from fighting cancer to preventing sun-related skin damage.<P class=StoryText align=justify>The summertime staple contains higher levels of lycopene than any other fresh fruit or vegetable. Its red pigment is found only in a few foods, including tomatoes.<P class=StoryText align=justify>In the study, researchers analysed the carotenoid content in several varieties of red-fleshed watermelon stored 14 days at three different temperatures: 70 degrees (room temperature in an air-conditioned home), 55 degrees, and 41 degrees (similar to a refrigerator).<P class=StoryText align=justify>Compared with freshly picked fruit, the results showed lycopene levels increased up to 40 per cent and beta carotene levels jumped up to 139 per cent in watermelon stored at room temperature.<P class=StoryText align=justify>In contrast, levels of these nutrients remained about the same in watermelons stored at lower temperatures.
Researchers say the average shelf life of watermelons after harvest is 14-21 days if stored at 55 degrees. But decay occurs after as little as a week when stored at refrigerator temperatures of around 41 degrees.<P class=StoryText align=justify>The study appears in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.<P class=StoryText align=justify>-WebMd

Where can I go to haunt Ben Jamin, Yutie, Trini (versions)dem hiding, I know where Lazie is, some people seems to loose steam, or they don't know how to navigate and be the Star.
