Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is the ideal temperature and humidity for mushroom cold storage?
The best temperature range for mushroom cold storage is 2–5 °C. This controlled environment slows down microbial growth and keeps mushrooms fresh, firm, and safe for consumption. Maintaining a stable temperature ensures that mushrooms retain their natural texture and nutritional value for a longer duration.
Why is humidity so important for storing mushrooms and what is the ideal level?
Mushrooms are highly perishable and lose water content quickly. To avoid shrinkage, dryness, and weight loss, the cold storage must maintain 85–90% relative humidity. This balance of temperature and moisture keeps mushrooms plump, appealing in appearance, and prevents early spoilage.
How does cold storage help in reducing spoilage and wastage?
After harvesting, mushrooms start deteriorating within hours if not stored properly. Cold storage provides the perfect environment to slow down decay and contamination. By maintaining ideal cooling and humidity, businesses can reduce wastage, extend shelf life, and ensure better returns on investment.
Are mushroom cold storages energy efficient?
Yes, mushroom cold storages are designed with PUF insulated panels and eco-friendly refrigerants to minimise heat leakage and energy usage. These systems also use advanced compressors and automated controls, helping businesses save on electricity bills while ensuring consistent cooling performance.
Can mushroom cold storage units be customized?
Absolutely! Mushroom cold storages are available in various capacities, dimensions, and designs to suit the specific requirements of farms, wholesalers, or food processors. Customers can choose the size, rack arrangement, and door types to optimise space and efficiency based on their operations.
Who should consider using a mushroom cold storage?
Mushroom cold storage is a must-have for farmers, distributors, retailers, exporters, and food processing units. It helps preserve harvested mushrooms, reduces wastage during transportation, and ensures that customers receive high-quality, fresh produce every time.
How long can mushrooms be stored in a cold storage?
When stored in the right cold storage conditions, mushrooms can stay fresh for 7–14 days, depending on the variety and handling process. Proper packaging and hygiene practices can further extend the storage life while maintaining their flavour and market value.
