Challenge
- Freshly harvested fruits and vegetables contain "field heat" which causes harvested produce to spoil more quickly. Temperature control is essential to maintain the quality of various types of produce and extend shelf-life of horticultural commodities.
- Temperature control is also needed during the transportation of fruits and vegetables.
- To further maintain the quality and extend shelf-life of fruits and vegetables, controlled atmosphere cold storage is an ideal tool.
Solution
- Removing field heat by covering flake ice or crushed ice on freshly harvested fruits and vegetables or flowing chilled water over.
- Using flake ice or crushed ice for short-distance transportation, and using ice bottle for long-distance transportation.
- Icesource can offer cold room solution, including controlled atmosphere cold storage.
