Advanced Cooling Technologies that Preserve Freshness and Extend Shelf Life
Cherry is one of the fruits with the highest post-harvest respiration rate. Keeping the stem green, maintaining the firmness of the fruit flesh, and preventing cracking depend entirely on a professional storage process. As Frigocare Cooling; We offer turnkey warehouse solutions that preserve the added value of cherries and minimize the wastage rate.

1. Golden Parameters in Cherry Storage
In order for cherries to maintain their market value, the warehouse must provide the following values with millimetric precision:
● Ideal Temperature: 0°C to -1°C. (Above 2°C causes softening and stem darkening).
● Optimum Humidity: 90% – 95% relative humidity. (Low humidity causes cherries to shrivel and lose weight).
● Rapid Cooling (Hydrocooling):The internal temperature of the fruit should be reduced within the first 2 hours after harvest.
2. Technical Systems That Increase Efficiency
The most efficient cherry warehouses installed byFrigocare Refrigeration consist of the following components:
Freezing and Rapid Cooling Systems
Shocking systems, which reduce the internal temperature of cherries from 25°C to 1°C within minutes, stop fungal development and increase the shelf life by up to 3 times.
Ultrasonic Humidification Systems
These systems provide moisture with micron level water particles without wetting the fruit surface; It preserves the brightness of the cherry and prevents weight loss (waste).
Controlled Atmosphere (CA) Technology
Controlled atmosphere warehouses, which keep oxygen at 3-5% and CO₂ at 10-15%, slow down the "aging" rate of cherries, keeping the product fresh for long-distance exports.
3. Our Hardware and Infrastructure Standards
● Central Cooling Systems: Single-centered management and up to 30% energy savings in large facilities.
● Natural Fluid Cooling: Environmentally friendly and highly efficient CO₂ / Ammonia systems.
● Cold Room Panels: Stable internal climate with high density insulation without thermal bridges
● Leakproof Door Solutions: Professionalcold room doors that prevent heat and moisture loss.
● Optimum Air Flow: Homogenously distributed cold room shelf, which prevents the product from freezing or heating uplari.
4. Common Mistakes and Solutions in Cherry Storage
● Error:Taking hot fruit directly into storage.
● Solution: Creating a shock effect with pre-cooling or shocking tunnels.
● Error: Low humidity level.
● Solution: Maintain 90%+ humidity level with ultrasonic humidification.
● Error: Temperature fluctuations.
● Solution: Digital control units operating with ±0.2°C precision.
