Onion Cold Storage: 12 Essential Storage Rules
Onion Cold Storage: 12 Essential Rules for Maximum Shelf Life A professionally designed Onion Cold Storage facility protects dry bulb onions against sprouting, rooting, moisture accumulation, weight loss and storage decay. However, successful onion storage begins before the refrigeration system is turned on. Unlike leafy vegetables, dry onions generally require low relative humidity and strong, […]
Banana Cold Room: 12 Essential Ripening Rules
Banana Cold Room: 12 Essential Rules for Perfect Ripening A professionally designed Banana Cold Room protects bananas during storage, transportation preparation and controlled ripening. Unlike apples and many temperate-climate fruits, bananas cannot simply be stored at temperatures close to 0°C. Because bananas are highly sensitive to low temperatures, incorrect refrigeration can damage the fruit instead […]
Apple Cold Storage: 11 Powerful Freshness Strategies
Apple Cold Storage: 11 Powerful Strategies for Maximum Freshness Apple Cold Storage plays a critical role in preserving the firmness, flavor, color and commercial value of apples after harvest. Apples remain biologically active even after they are picked. They continue to respire, produce ethylene, lose moisture and gradually age. Without proper temperature, humidity and airflow […]
