Environmental requirements for fruit cold storage
1. Temperature and humidity.
The temperature and humidity of fruit cold storage are important factors affecting the preservation effect of fruits. Generally speaking, the temperature of fruit cold storage should be controlled between -1 1, and the relative humidity should be kept between 90% and 95%. Such environmental conditions can effectively maintain the freshness and quality of the fruit.
2. Air circulation.
Fruit cold storage needs to have good air circulation to ensure air circulation and oxygen**. During the design and installation of cold storage, it should be ensured that the air circulation is smooth to avoid dead corners or poor airflow. Cold storage
3. Moisture-proof and mildew-proof.
When fruits are stored in cold storage, they are susceptible to mold attack, so moisture and mildew prevention is one of the important requirements of fruit cold storage. When designing and installing cold storage, materials with good moisture-proof performance should be selected, such as waterproof materials, anti-corrosion materials, etc. At the same time, dehumidification and cleaning should be carried out regularly in the cold storage to keep the inside of the warehouse dry and clean.
Fourth, light. The light of fruit cold storage is also one of the factors affecting the preservation effect of fruits. Too much light can cause the surface temperature of the fruit to rise, accelerating the decay and deterioration of the fruit. Therefore, when designing and installing cold storage, measures should be taken to reduce the impact of external light on cold storage, such as installing awnings, curtains, etc.
5. Ventilation.
Fruit cold storage needs to be ventilated regularly to ensure that the air in the warehouse is fresh and oxygen**. When designing and installing cold storage, the problem of ventilation should be taken into account, such as the installation of vents, ventilators and other equipment. At the same time, when storing fruits, they should be stacked reasonably according to the characteristics and storage requirements of the fruits to avoid poor ventilation.
In summary, the environmental requirements for fruit cold storage include temperature and humidity control, air circulation, moisture and mildew resistance, light control, and ventilation. Only by meeting these requirements can the freshness and quality of the fruit be effectively maintained, food safety and consumer health guaranteed.
