Storage Temperature: Recommended storage temperature is 0 °C.
High Humidity: Use humidifiers capable of precise control to maintain maximum desired humidity, or select an air cooler with a narrow temperature differential (ΔT).
Storage Duration: Recommended period is 2 – 5 days.
Ozone: Installation of an ozone-generation system is advised to reduce microbial load.
Controlled Atmosphere: Not recommended — uneconomical for small-scale production, with minimal storage benefits.
Dynamic Pre-Cooling: A detailed study of temperature absorption time and airspeed ensures uniform cooling to the core of the pre-cooled product.
IMPORTANT TIPS
Rapid pre-cooling at 2 °C and maintenance of the cold chain throughout all stages of handling and distribution.
Maintain uniform temperature within the cold-storage chambers.
Dynamic Pre-Cooling is essential to ensure even and effective temperature reduction.
Cooling should be achieved with low air velocity to avoid physical damage.
Avoid condensation or water droplet formation on the product surface.
Disinfect cold-storage chambers thoroughly before use.
