What is the humidity range of cold chain food cold storage?

Cold chain food cold storage is a low-temperature environment storage facility specially designed for preserving frozen food. In cold storage, besides temperature control, humidity control is also a very important aspect. What is the humidity range of cold chain food usually?

Generally speaking, the humidity range of cold chain food cold storage should be controlled between 0% and 85%. This range can effectively prevent humidity and mould of the food and maintain the freshness and taste of the food.

For different cold chain food products, the required humidity range may vary. For example, for bakery products such as bread and pastries, the appropriate humidity range is 35% to 50%; for vegetables and fruits, the appropriate humidity range is 85% to 90%. Therefore, when setting the humidity range of cold chain food cold storage, it needs to be adjusted according to the specific type of food.

In addition to controlling the range of humidity, it is also necessary to ensure the stability of humidity. Frequent humidity fluctuations can adversely affect the quality of food. Therefore, humidity stability needs to be maintained during the operation of cold storage to avoid excessive dryness or humidity.

In short, the humidity range in cold chain food cold storage should be adjusted according to the specific food type and should generally be between 0% and 85%. At the same time, the humidity level needs to be kept stable to ensure the quality and taste of the food.
