Control Atmosphere Cold Storage

Control Atmosphere (CA) Cold Storage is an advanced storage solution designed to extend the shelf life of perishable commodities by regulating not just temperature and humidity, but also the atmospheric composition within the storage chambers. Unlike conventional cold storages, CA cold storage facilities maintain optimal levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and ethylene to slow down the natural ripening process of fruits, vegetables, and other sensitive products. This technology is widely used for the long-term preservation of apples, pears, kiwis, and other horticultural produce that require extended storage without losing their natural freshness, flavor, texture, and nutritional value. By creating a scientifically controlled environment, CA cold storage minimizes respiration rates, prevents premature ripening, and reduces microbial activity, ensuring consistent product quality for several months.
