ArticlesStorage Practices: Controlled Atmosphere Storage (USFA)
In Controlled Atmosphere (CA) storage, oxygen levels in the sealed rooms are REDUCED (usually by the infusion of nitrogen gas) from the approximate 21 percent in normal atmospheres to 1-2 percent. Temperatures are generally maintained in the 32-36 F (0-2.2 C) range through mechanical refrigeration systems. Humidity is maintained around 95 percent, and carbon dioxide levels are also controlled between 5 and 10 percent based on the product. |
