<pre>Peter,
Like Peter Caird, I would counsel against using water. It will tend to
soak into the fruit, possibly causing problems with the later processing
because of the additional moisture content. There is some suggestion
that there is a percentage oil/water mix below which the emulsion is
difficult to "break", making it hard to get the oil out of the
oil/water/pulp mix.

Some local processors have had some success with coolroom storage of
fruit so long as the tempereture is constant (within reasonable limits)
and the humidity is up a bit. I cannot be more specific, as the problem
doesn't arise here with our small press.

Good luck with your harvest.
