General Tips for Amaranth Greens

Storage temperatureRelative Humidity (RH)DurationPre-coolingSensitivity to ethyleneEthylene ProductionControlled Atmosphere
Storage temperature: 1° – 2° C
Relative Humidity (RH): 90%-92%
Duration: 10-14 days
Pre-cooling: Vacuum cooling or air cooling
Sensitivity to ethylene: Medium
Ethylene Production: Very low
Controlled Atmosphere: Not recommended

Low-Pressure Pre-Cooling Chambers (Wet-Bulb Type): Specialized chambers suitable for unpackaged amaranth greens immediately after harvest. These systems control relative humidity and create a low-pressure environment, ensuring rapid and uniform temperature reduction.

Dynamic Pre-Cooling (High-Suction Capacity Chambers): Precisely engineered to regulate temperature absorption time and airflow speed for both packaged and unpackaged produce. Ensures uniform cooling throughout the product mass.

Natural Airflow Cold Room with Mist Atmosphere: A highly specialized cold room combining natural airflow with fine-mist humidification. Ideal for delicate products that are sensitive to air velocity and require high humidity stability.

IMPORTANT TIPS
  • Prefer Natural Airflow Cold Rooms with Mist Atmosphere for optimal preservation.
  • Pre-cool within one hour of harvest.
  • Use high-capacity Dynamic Pre-Cooling systems for uniform temperature distribution.
  • Maintain the cold chain throughout all stages of transport and handling.
  • Remove ethylene using professional absorbers.
  • Install ozone generators to control fungal and microbial growth.
  • Wash the produce using a low-residue disinfectant solution before storage.
