Kiwifruit cold storage preservation method

  Kiwifruit is a nutritious fruit. In order to extend its shelf life and maintain its quality, cold storage is an effective method. This article will introduce the preservation method of kiwifruit cold storage, including temperature control, humidity management, atmosphere control and precautions, to help readers better preserve kiwifruit.

  1.Temperature control: The best storage temperature of kiwifruit in cold storage is 0-1℃. Too high temperature will cause the fruit to rot, and too low temperature will cause chilling injury. Therefore, the temperature in the cold storage should be kept constant and large temperature fluctuations should be avoided.

  2.Humidity management: The storage environment of kiwifruit should maintain appropriate humidity, usually between 85%-90%. High humidity helps prevent the fruit from losing water and drying, but too high humidity may cause the fruit to rot. In order to maintain appropriate humidity, humidity control equipment such as humidifiers or humidity sensors can be used.

  3.Atmosphere control: Atmosphere preservation is one of the key steps in kiwifruit cold storage. The commonly used gas composition is 3%-5% oxygen and 5%-8% carbon dioxide. This atmosphere helps slow down the metabolism of the fruit and prolong its shelf life. An automated control system can be used to monitor and adjust the gas composition in the cold storage to ensure the best gas conditioning effect.

  4.precautions: Avoid mixing kiwis with other fruits and vegetables to avoid mutual influence. Screen and sort before storage, and remove kiwis that are damaged or have pests and diseases. Regularly check the operation of cold storage equipment and temperature and humidity control systems to ensure their normal operation. Avoid opening the cold storage door frequently to reduce temperature and humidity fluctuations. Regularly check the quality of kiwis during storage, and deal with spoiled or overripe fruits in time.

  Through appropriate temperature control, humidity management and gas conditioning, kiwi cold storage can extend the shelf life of kiwis and maintain their high quality. At the same time, compliance with precautions is also an important factor to ensure successful storage. Proper cold storage methods will help you preserve fresh and delicious kiwis and provide them with a longer market supply time.
