Types of Cold Storage

Cold storage is an artificially cooled, place for preserving all kinds of food items. Cold storage works on the principle of refrigeration and air conditioning. Cold storage are essential for extending the shelf life, period of marketing, avoiding oversupply, reducing transport blockage during peak period of production and maintenance of quality of produce. The cold storage industry has an important role to play in reducing the wastage of the perishable.

Control atmosphere cold storage: Control atmosphere cold storage mainly used for long-term storage of perishable fruits. In this type of storage the temperature and concentrations of oxygen, ethylene, carbon dioxide and nitrogen are maintained as per the requirement of the storage materials. These are mainly used for the storage of apples, pears, lemon, litchi, mango and other perishable fruits.

Temperature controlled cold storage: Temperature controlled  cold storage is mainly used for storage of grains, dry fruits and spices. In this type of storage constant pre-determined temperature is maintained throughout the room.

High humidity cold storage: High humidity cold storage is  used for storage of fresh vegetables. In this a constant pre decisive temperature with high humidity is maintained throughout the room.

From farm to plate, keeping food safety is one of the major difficulty we face. Cold storage, Transport refrigeration, Insulated trucks, Display units like chillers and freezers etc has a major role in keeping foods safe. Perishable foods always need a good care until it reaches someone’s plate. From the production area to this end user is a big journey. A good temperature control is efficient for this, in both storage and transportation of food. Multiple studies shows that how logistic problem and lack of efficient cold storage and transport facilities affect the quality of food.

In this case comes the use of cold supply chains. They keep the food fresh from harvesting area to sale to the end customer. One of the most effective ways  is to keep food safe is to provide it with efficient temperature control. Cold rooms in harvesting station can always keep the food fresh. From there to the end users we need to provide good transport facilities. Refrigerated transport is a good option, it could preserve the food to a long period.
