Storage temperature: -0,2° - 0,5° C
Relative Humidity (RH): 92%-94%
Duration: 2-4 months
Pre-cooling: Hydrocooling or air cooling
Sensitivity to ethylene: High
Ethylene Production: Low
Controlled Atmosphere: Not recommended

Dynamic Pre-Cooling (High-Suction Capacity Chambers): Specialized systems that ensure uniform cooling by controlling temperature absorption time and air velocity until the product core reaches the target temperature. Applicable for both packaged and unpackaged products.

Dynamic Cooling: Provides continuous 24-hour monitoring and adjustment of all critical parameters (temperature, humidity, airflow), maintaining ideal conditions throughout the entire cold room volume. Dynamic Cooling extends shelf life by 15–20% compared to standard storage.

Ventilation: Requires dedicated, digitally controlled mechanisms for the removal of respiration gases.

Ethylene Removal: Use ethylene absorption systems to prevent physiological disorders and quality loss.

IMPORTANT TIPS
  • Dynamic Cooling is ideal for achieving long-term preservation and quality stability.
  • Pre-cool rapidly using hydrocoolers before packaging, and use air pre-cooling after packaging.
  • Maintain the cold chain during all handling and transport stages.
  • Keep CO₂ levels low — helps preserve texture and flavor.
  • Strictly manage ethylene: avoid storing carrots near ethylene-producing products.
  • Disinfect all cold rooms, equipment, and washing systems before use, including the wash water used for cleaning carrots.
