Cold Storage

Creating ideal storage conditions?

Conditions that decrease the ripening process are essential. Slowing the biological activities of produce using cold temperatures is a standard practice to maintain quality. Cold decreases evaporation, loss of weight, drying and the ripening processes. However, if when the ideal relative humidity for a given product is provided it can provoke the development of certain mold species such as Cladosporium, Penicillium, Fusarium, Aspergillus Niger, etc.

Installing an Airocide air purifier provides many advantages. The system’s photocatalytic oxidation technology works efficiently in high humidity. Thus, conditions for produce quality preservation can be achieved with temperature and humidity without the increased risks of mold development. What’s more,  Airocide can break down ethylene gases to further increase the shelf life of produce. This technology will effectively pay for itself.
