Sea buckthorn is a fruit with extremely high nutritional value, which contains a large amount of nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and β-carotene. In order to maintain the freshness and quality of sea buckthorn fruit, it needs to be stored and transported after picking. Cold storage is a common storage equipment. This article will introduce the suitable temperature range for sea buckthorn fruit storage.
1.Factors affecting the storage temperature of sea buckthorn fruit
The storage temperature of sea buckthorn fruit has an important influence on its shelf life and quality, which is mainly affected by the following factors:
Storage temperature: The storage temperature of sea buckthorn fruit should not be too high or too low, otherwise it will affect its taste and the preservation of nutrients.
Storage humidity: Sea buckthorn fruit needs to maintain a certain humidity during storage to avoid dehydration of the fruit and loss of gloss of the membrane.
Air circulation: The environment for storing sea buckthorn fruit needs to maintain a certain air circulation to reduce the evaporation rate of water on the surface of the fruit and prevent the fruit from drying.
2.Storage temperature of sea buckthorn fruit
According to practical experience and research, the storage temperature of sea buckthorn fruit is most suitable between -1℃ and 4℃. Within this range, sea buckthorn fruit can maintain a long shelf life and good quality.
Storage temperature is too high: When the storage temperature of sea buckthorn fruit exceeds 4℃, its nutrients begin to gradually lose, the surface of the fruit will lose its luster, the taste becomes sticky, and it is no longer fresh and delicious.
Storage temperature is too low: When the storage temperature of sea buckthorn fruit is lower than -1℃, the water inside the fruit will freeze, causing the fruit to crack or soften. At the same time, the low temperature environment is likely to make the taste of the fruit worse, and the taste becomes dry or sour.
3.Precautions for cold storage of sea buckthorn fruit
When storing sea buckthorn fruit, you need to pay attention to the following points:
Temperature control: When storing sea buckthorn fruit in a cold storage, the temperature should be strictly controlled and kept within an appropriate range. At the same time, equipment such as thermometers and air conditioners should be checked regularly to ensure their normal operation.
Humidity control: The storage environment of sea buckthorn fruit needs to maintain a certain humidity to prevent the surface of the fruit from dehydrating and the membrane from losing its luster. Equipment such as humidity regulators can be used to control the humidity of the storage environment.
Ventilation: The storage environment of sea buckthorn fruit needs to maintain a certain degree of ventilation and air permeability to reduce the evaporation rate of water on the surface of the fruit and prevent the fruit from drying. Ventilation holes can be set in the cold storage or the air circulation system can be used for ventilation.
When storing sea buckthorn fruit, the suitable storage temperature range is between -1℃ and 4℃. Temperature, humidity and ventilation and air permeability need to be strictly controlled to ensure that the quality and nutrients of sea buckthorn fruit are not damaged. At the same time, during the storage of sea buckthorn fruit, it is also necessary to regularly check the equipment and environment and deal with abnormal situations in time to ensure the freshness and safety of sea buckthorn fruit.
