Carrots are highly perishable and tend to lose moisture, firmness, and sweetness after harvest. Cold storage slows down respiration, prevents microbial spoilage, and extends their shelf life while retaining nutritional value.
Carrots should be stored at 0–2°C with 90–95% relative humidity. These conditions help maintain crispness and prevent shriveling.
Under proper conditions, fresh carrots can be stored for 4–6 months without significant loss of quality.
No. If stored correctly, carrots maintain their natural sweetness, firmness, and color. Cold rooms prevent softening and decay while reducing weight loss due to dehydration.
Yes, but care should be taken. Carrots are sensitive to ethylene gas released by fruits like apples and bananas, which can cause bitterness. They should be stored separately from ethylene-producing commodities.
Carrots can be stored in plastic crates, perforated bags, or jute bags that allow airflow. Proper washing and pre-cooling before storage help maintain quality.
Blue Cold provides both Freon-based systems (for small to medium storage facilities) and Ammonia-based systems(for large-scale operations), ensuring precise temperature and humidity control.
We use high-efficiency compressors, insulated sandwich panels, and optimized air circulation systems to reduce power consumption while ensuring uniform cooling.
Yes. Cold storage maintains carrot freshness during long-distance transportation, ensuring they meet international quality standards and fetch better prices in export markets.
Regular cleaning, monitoring humidity levels, checking door seals, and servicing refrigeration systems are essential for consistent performance and hygiene.
Yes. Blue Cold specializes in designing multi-commodity cold storages with separate chambers or zoned temperature control for carrots and other vegetables.
