Technical Parameters for Maximum Shelf Life and Freshness
Blueberry is a fruit with a limited shelf life, a delicate structure and a fast perishable fruit. If the right conditions are not provided, problems such as softening, mold and water loss occur within a few days. As Frigocare Cooling; We offer professional infrastructures that protect product quality in blueberry storage processes.

1. Ideal Storage Parameters for Blueberry
The key to success in Blueberry storage is rapid entry into the post-harvest cold chain and millimeter preservation of the following values:
|
Parameter |
Ideal Value |
Severity |
|
Temperature |
0°C to 1°C |
Critical (Stops corruption) |
|
Relative Humidity |
90% – 95% |
Critical (Prevents wrinkling) |
|
Air Flow |
Balanced & Indirect |
High (Temperature uniformity) |
|
Oxygen (CA) |
%2 – 5% |
Long Term Storage (Slows down breathing) |
|
CO₂ (CA) |
10% – 15% |
Long Term Storage (Mold prevention) |
2. Critical Success Factors
Quick Pre-Cooling – First 2 Hour Rule
Blueberry should be quickly reduced to 0–5°C within the first 2 hours of harvest. At this point, Frigocare Freezing – Rapid Freezing Systems extends the shelf life by up to 40% by reducing the core temperature of the fruit.
Moisture Management and Weight Loss
The humidity level should never fall below 90% in order for the fruit to maintain its brightness and avoid wrinkling. Frigocare Ultrasonic Humidification Systems perfectly manages the moisture balance in the air without letting any water droplets touch the fruit.
8 Weeks Protection with Controlled Atmosphere (CA)
2-4 weeks in standard warehousesThe endurance period can be increased up to 8 weeks with Controlled Atmosphere Cold Storage. The balance of low oxygen and high carbon dioxide suppresses the growth of mold (Botrytis cinerea).
3. Our Hardware and Infrastructure Solutions
Frigocare Refrigerationprovides the following professional equipment for blueberry plants:
● Cold Room Panels: High density insulation that prevents heat loss.
