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.
