General Tips for Cranberries

Storage temperatureRelative Humidity (RH)DurationPre-coolingSensitivity to ethyleneEthylene ProductionControlled Atmosphere
Storage temperature: 3° - 6° C
Relative Humidity (RH): 90%-95%
Duration: 1-3 months
Pre-cooling: Not required
Sensitivity to ethylene: Low
Ethylene Production: Low
Controlled Atmosphere: Not recommended

Storage Temperature: Recommended temperature range is 3 °C – 6 °C.

High Humidity: Use an air-cooler with a low air–product temperature differential (ΔT).

Storage Duration: Recommended period is 1 – 3 months.

Controlled Atmosphere: Not recommended — uneconomical for small-scale production and offers limited benefit to total storage duration.

Ozone: Install an ozone-generation unit to provide the required concentration for effective microbial load control.

IMPORTANT TIPS
  • Ensure rapid cooling and consistent maintenance of the cold chain across all handling and transport stages
  • Maintain high CO₂ levels, which help preserve quality and extend storage life.
