    General Tips for Artichokes

    Storage temperatureRelative Humidity (RH)DurationPre-coolingSensitivity to ethyleneEthylene ProductionControlled Atmosphere
    Storage temperature: 0,50° - 10° C
    Relative Humidity (RH): 92%-96%
    Duration: 4-6 weeks
    Pre-cooling: Air cooling
    Sensitivity to ethylene: Very low
    Ethylene Production: Very low
    Controlled Atmosphere: Not recommended

    Dynamic Pre-Cooling: Performed in high-capacity pre-cooling chambers designed for efficient air suction and temperature absorption. Airflow and cooling duration are precisely calculated to ensure uniform cooling throughout the product mass. Suitable for both packaged and unpackaged produce.

    Dynamic Cooling: Continuous multi-point monitoring and adjustment of all critical parameters within the storage chamber ensures optimal preservation conditions 24/7. Dynamic Cooling increases storage life by 15%–20% compared to conventional methods.

    Controlled Atmosphere (CA): The optimal gas composition is 2%–3% O₂ and 3%–5% CO₂, which delays stem discoloration and the onset of bulb decay for several days.

    CO₂ Management: Requires specialized design and placement of ventilation mechanisms to regulate CO₂ concentration inside the chamber.
    IMPORTANT TIPS
    • Dynamic Cooling is essential for effective preservation and extended shelf life.
    • To prevent freezing (below -1.2°C), maintain 5–10 cm spacing between pallets to ensure proper cold air circulation.
    • Install ozone generators to control fungal growth and microbial contamination.
    • Manage carbon dioxide (CO₂) carefully — small concentrations help delay stem discoloration and bulb decay.
    • Use modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for enhanced quality retention during storage and transport.
