Storage temperature: -0,2° to 0,5° C
Relative Humidity (RH): 92%
Duration: 1-2 months
Pre-cooling: Air cooling
Sensitivity to ethylene: High
Ethylene Production: Very low
Controlled Atmosphere: Not recommended

Dynamic Pre-Cooling (High-Suction Capacity Chambers): Custom-engineered cooling ensuring uniform temperature distribution across the entire product mass. Applicable to both packaged and unpackaged cauliflower.

Dynamic Cooling: Maintains precise regulation of storage parameters at multiple points throughout the chamber, operating continuously 24/7. Extends storage life by 15%–20% beyond standard conditions.

IMPORTANT TIPS
  • Dynamic Cooling is essential for maintaining cauliflower quality during storage.
  • Pre-cool rapidly and maintain the cold chain through every handling and transport stage.
  • Harvest with extra leaves and a longer stem for better preservation; remove them after storage.
  • Remove ethylene using absorbers to prevent discoloration and decay.
  • Maintain moderate CO₂ levels to help preserve firmness and color.
  • Install ozone generators to combat fungal growth.
  • Use crushed or flake ice inside packaging during transport to keep humidity and temperature stable.
  • Avoid storing cauliflower with ethylene-emitting products such as apples, bananas, or tomatoes.
