Cold Storage Rooms for Fruits and Vegetables are specialized temperature-controlled facilities designed to help preserve the freshness, quality, appearance, and marketability of fresh produce.
We manufacture customized fruit cold storage rooms and vegetable cold storage rooms for farms, agricultural producers, wholesalers, supermarkets, food processors, exporters, and cold chain distribution centers.
What Are Fruit and Vegetable Cold Storage Rooms?
A fruit and vegetable cold storage room is an insulated refrigerated facility designed to maintain the environmental conditions required by specific fresh produce.
Different fruits and vegetables have different storage requirements. A cold room designed for apples, grapes, or leafy vegetables may require substantially different conditions from one designed for bananas, tomatoes, onions, garlic, or pumpkins.
Temperature and Humidity Control
Temperature and humidity are two of the most important factors in fresh produce storage.
Our typical fresh fruit and vegetable cold storage solutions operate between approximately +2°C and +12°C, depending on the product and application.
Relative humidity can also be controlled according to the produce. As a general reference:
· Many fruits and vegetables: approximately 90–95% RH
· Leafy vegetables: may require up to approximately 95–98% RH
· Onions and garlic: generally require lower humidity, often around 65–70% RH
Cold Storage Temperature Reference
Product Category | General Reference Temperature | Key Considerations |
Leafy vegetables | Around 0°C to +2°C | High humidity and careful temperature control |
Cabbage, carrots, celery | Around 0°C to +2°C | Avoid freezing and excessive moisture loss |
Apples and grapes | Around 0°C to +2°C | Stable temperature and humidity |
Tomatoes | Around +7°C to +10°C or higher | Avoid chilling injury |
Cucumbers | Around +7°C to +10°C | Temperature-sensitive |
Bell peppers | Around +7°C to +10°C | Avoid excessively low temperatures |
Pumpkins | Around +7°C to +10°C or higher | Conditions vary by variety |
Bananas | Around +13°C to +15°C | Sensitive to chilling injury |
Lemons | Generally above +10°C | Conditions vary by variety and maturity |
Onions and garlic | Product-specific, often cooler and drier | Lower humidity is generally preferred |
The temperatures above are general reference ranges. Actual storage conditions depend on the product variety, maturity, packaging, storage period, and application.
