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.
