General Tips for Olives

Storage temperatureRelative Humidity (RH)DurationPre-coolingSensitivity to ethyleneEthylene ProductionControlled Atmosphere
Storage temperature: 2 °C
Relative Humidity (RH): 85 % – 90 %
Duration: 8 – 10 months
Pre-cooling: Not required
Sensitivity to ethylene: Low
Ethylene Production: Very low
Controlled Atmosphere: Optional

Storage Temperature: It is recommended to maintain approximately 2 °C.

Moderate Humidity: Choose a cooler with minimal air–product temperature differential (ΔT).

Storage Duration: Recommended up to 8 to 10 months under proper conditions.

Controlled Atmosphere: Optional—may be used for long-term storage but evaluate cost-benefit.

Ozone: Placement of ozone generator is advised to control microbial load and maintain hygienic conditions.

Ventilation & Air Recirculation: Use inverter-driven fans for uniform air distribution and continuous circulation.

IMPORTANT TIPS
  • Avoid temperature fluctuations to prevent quality degradation.
  • Ensure full cold chain from processing to storage.
  • Perform thorough cleaning and disinfection of chambers before use.
  • Use suitable packing and maintain hygiene to extend shelf life.
