RIGHT UNDERSTANDING THE PRESERVATION TEMPERATURE OF FOOD IN COLD STORAGES
Currently, using cold storages to preserve food is being used by many agencies and localities. This method is extremely necessary to ensure the food quality. What should we first pay attention to when using cold storages? What is the storage temperature of food in cold storages? Let's find out with Nam Ha Noi Cold Storage - a reputable cold storage rental service provider!
Inlet temperature - standard for assessing food quality before preservation
What is the inlet storage temperature of food in cold storages? The inlet temperature of each product is the appropriate temperature to carry out preserving that product in cold storage. Depending on the type of goods, form and food storage temperature, goods will be cooled or frozen to achieve the required inlet temperature. The inlet food storage temperature is considered the final evaluation criterion to bring the product to the storage stage.
Inlet temperature is an important factor when preserving food in cold storages
Why is it important to ensure the food inlet temperature?
Product quality assurance
Putting the products in cold storage when they are cold or hot may cause the products’ texture to be broken. This means that the products will not meet the output standards.
Therefore, in order to keep the original texture of products, the temperature of the products will be processed so that they can gradually get used to the temperature change.
Cold storage system is arranged scientifically
Ensure the time to bring the product to the preservation temperature
The inlet temperature of each food is the one closest to the food preservation temperature. The preservation process will be faster if the product ensures the correct inlet temperature. This is an extremely important issue for frozen products with strict preservation requirements such as aquatic product, seafood, etc.
Do not affect the temperature of cold storage
The heat of the product brought from the outside into the cold storage may affect the preservation temperature of the food in the storage because when bringing in new products, the cooling system has to work harder to ensure the stability of the storage temperature. The hotter the inlet temperature of the product is, the greater the effect on the cooling system will be.
Therefore, the product needs to be brought to the correct inlet temperature to avoid affecting the equipment and operation of the cold storage. This is also a way to save energy and prolong the life of the storage's refrigeration system.
Cold storage inlet temperature of products for preservation
Fruits and vegetables
Fruit and vegetable products are usually stored at positive temperature. After harvesting, the product will be brought back to normal temperature and then preserved immediately.
Using cold storages is a great solution for food preservation
Eggs, milk and dairy products
Eggs and milk will be kept refrigerated at normal temperature. For milk, after processing and pasteurization, the product will be cooled down and then transferred to cold storages.
Meat
Meat can be kept at normal storage temperature in cold storage for short-term preservation. However, with products that need to be stored for a longer time at -40°C, the inlet temperature needs to be from -18°C to -20°C before transfering into cold storage.
Aquatic product and seafood
Commodities such as aquatic product and seafood need to be preserved at negative temperature. For offshore fishing, the products will be refrigerated to ensure freshness. However, we need to make sure the food is stored at an inlet temperature of around -18°C for freezing preservation.
Criteria for choosing cold storages to ensure the best food storage

Cold storages
The temperature in cold storages is typically between -2°C and 5°C. Normally, agricultural products will be stored at cooling temperatures. Only some tropical fruits such as bananas and lemons need to be stored at higher temperatures from 5°C to 10°C. Therefore, this type of warehouse will be suitable for vegetables and fruits.
Freeze storages
This type of warehouse is used to preserve frozen goods and products, often of animal origin. The right temperature is choosen depending on the time and type of product that need to be stored. However, it is necessary to ensure that the storage temperature is at least -18°C in order not to affect the product quality.
Multi-purpose storages
Multi-purpose cold storages have a food storage temperature of -12°C. However, this type of storage can satisfy if you want to increase or decrease the temperature.
Extra cold storages
