What is the difference between storing cherries in a controlled atmosphere warehouse and an ordinary cold storage?

　　The storage period of cherries in an ordinary cold storage is generally 15-30 days, with a temperature of -1 to 1℃ and a humidity of 85% to 90%. The storage period of cherries in a controlled atmosphere warehouse is generally 3-4 months. Let’s take a look at the conventional configuration parameters of the controlled atmosphere warehouse to see what is special. Temperature: -0.5 to 0.5℃ (the fresh-keeping temperature of the controlled atmosphere warehouse is slightly higher) Humidity: 90% to 95% (the relative humidity of the controlled atmosphere warehouse should be higher) Oxygen content: 3% to 5%, carbon dioxide: 5% to 6%.

　　What is the difference between storing cherries in a controlled atmosphere warehouse and an ordinary cold storage?

　　1.A controlled atmosphere warehouse generally has more compartments than an ordinary cold storage (increases storage capacity);

　　2.The cost of building a controlled atmosphere warehouse is greater than that of an ordinary cold storage;

　　3.Usually, a controlled atmosphere warehouse can extend the storage period by 2-3 times compared to an ordinary cold storage;

　　4.Fruits and vegetables stored in a controlled atmosphere warehouse can better maintain their original shape, hardness, color, and aroma than ordinary cold storage, and the fruit decay rate of fruits and vegetables stored in a controlled atmosphere warehouse is lower than that of fruits stored in ordinary cold storage.

　　From the above parameters, we can see that a controlled atmosphere warehouse has more oxygen and carbon dioxide content control than an ordinary cold storage, which is the key to a controlled atmosphere warehouse being able to keep fresh for a longer time. The controlled atmosphere system is an important configuration that distinguishes a controlled atmosphere warehouse from an ordinary cold storage. Therefore, the price of a controlled atmosphere warehouse in the early stage is higher than that of an ordinary cold storage. Therefore, when investing in the construction of a controlled atmosphere warehouse, please consider the goods to be stored and choose fruits and vegetables with high added value (maximize profits).
