General Tips for Parsley

Storage temperatureRelative Humidity (RH)DurationPre-coolingSensitivity to ethyleneEthylene ProductionControlled Atmosphere
Storage temperature: -0,2° – 0,5° C
Relative Humidity (RH): 92%-94%
Duration: 1-2 months
Pre-cooling: Air cooling
Sensitivity to ethylene: High
Ethylene Production: Very low
Controlled Atmosphere: Not recommended

Enhanced Cold Room: A flexible solution that allows an existing storage chamber and its refrigeration equipment to be used for light pre-cooling and subsequent storage.

Natural Airflow Cold Room – Mist Atmosphere: Highly specialized chamber ensuring natural air circulation combined with fine misting to maintain optimal humidity levels for moisture-sensitive products.

Low-Airflow Cold Room with Continuous Water Circulation: Designed for produce requiring very high humidity and minimal air movement (<25 air exchanges/hour). High humidity is maintained through a continuous flow of water.

Modified Atmosphere Bags: The use of specialized packaging films is recommended, as they extend storage life and maintain product quality.

IMPORTANT TIPS
  • Maintain high CO₂ levels, as this helps preserve leaf color and reduce tissue deterioration.
  • Remove ethylene using ventilation systems or ethylene absorbers.
  • Install ozone generators to suppress fungal growth.
  • Use modified atmosphere bags to extend freshness and slow respiration.
  • Avoid co-storage with ethylene-emitting products such as zucchini, tomatoes, eggplants, okra, and fennel.
