Ventilation: Installation of a digitally controlled ventilation system to remove respiration gases and maintain uniform air quality within the storage chamber.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP): The use of special MAP bags is recommended, as it extends storage life and helps preserve fruit color, texture, and quality.
Pallet Arrangement: Maintain 5–10 cm spacing between pallets to promote proper air circulation and achieve consistent temperature throughout the chamber.
IMPORTANT TIPS
Do not store physalis with ethylene-producing fruits (e.g., apples, pears, peaches, nectarines), as this can cause unwanted color changes and stem detachment.
Remove ethylene through ventilation or absorbers.
Use Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) to extend shelf life and maintain quality.
Ensure gentle air circulation — low airflow speeds help avoid dehydration or bruising.
Avoid temperatures below the recommended range, as chilling injury may occur.
Store in well-ventilated containers that allow air to pass freely through the product.
Maintain adequate spacing between pallets and chamber walls for proper cold air movement.
