FRESH TASTE AND CRISPY FLESH EVEN IN MAY

Cold chambers
for industrial storage

The Nuterra team continues to invest in state-of-the-art sorting and storage facilities to ensure that the same quality harvested in the orchard is delivered to consumers.
Both before harvesting and after storing apples in cold rooms, our specialists check the level of sugar and starch contained in apples and the hardness of the apples, to determine when they will develop the richest flavor and balanced taste. Subsequently planning the optimal period of storage / sale in relation to these indicators.

We store the fruits in refrigerated rooms with a dynamic controlled atmosphere, in order to preserve their organoleptic properties. CA storage slows the rate of respiration (ripening processes) of apples, as a result, apples have the same fresh taste, fine and crispy pulp even in May.

The project is supported by the FNDAMR, in partnership with Consiliul Raional Sîngerei.

CA – Controlled Atmosphere

This storage method creates an atmosphere with low oxygen content (about 1%), increased CO2 content and product-dependent temperature and humidity in the gas-tight cooling cell. This reduces maturation and thus prolongs the shelf life. Conservation takes place in gas-tight cooling cells and is used to store fruit. For a successful conservation, an absolutely gas-resistant space is required. The door is a critical part of this.
The quality and native flavor of fruits are preserved for a long time, even up to a year, if technological processes have been respected until storage.
Minimum product dehydration due to inhibition of breathing and maturation processes.
The product meets all international standards and is suitable for export to all international markets.
Qualified staff with extensive experience in the field ensures quality control over the entire storing period.

Technological capabilities of the CA

Storage capacity up to 1600 tons

Ideal conditions for storing fruits

The control system allows setting, monitoring and control of optimal parameters for keeping the humidity, temperature, oxygen concentration, carbon dioxide, etc. inside the refrigerated storage rooms. Thus, perfect conditions for fruit preservation are created.

Fruit ripening is suspended

The system is equipped with specialized generators that provide the refrigerated room with the necessary amount of gases containing the active substance 1-methylcyclopropane (1-MCP). Products containing this active substance have the ability to inhibit the synthesis of ethylene – the growth hormone of orchard products. The gases are sprayed in the air, interacting with the ethylene receptors of the fruit and blocking them for the storage period of the fruit in the cold warehouse. Thus, the ripening of the fruit is stopped and is normally activated only after the products leave the refrigeration area.
