Produce Preparation for Long-Term Storage
Before placing napa cabbage in storage, ensure the roots are fully and cleanly trimmed. Proper preparation helps maintain freshness, firmness, and market quality throughout the storage cycle.
Storage Capacity
Storage chambers typically hold 120–250 tons of produce.
Fresh-air supply is not required for this storage technology.
Optimal Temperature (t°C)
Maintain a temperature range of 0°C to –1°C for consistent long-term preservation.
Humidity
Keep relative humidity at 98% to prevent dehydration and leaf wilting.
Controlled Atmosphere
A controlled-atmosphere environment enables long-term storage exceeding four months, preserving color, texture, and nutritional value.
Storage Life
The maximum storage duration for napa cabbage is up to 6 months under correct conditions.
Storage Facility Parameters
Rapid cooling immediately after harvest is critical to prevent moisture loss and decay.
Napa cabbage is commonly stored in 900 × 900 × 900 mm containers, which ensure optimal air distribution and easy handling.
