CASS – How Does Fresh Produce Storage Differ from Conventional Cold Storage?

Managing fresh produce comes with numerous risks. So, what’s the most effective solution for minimizing these risks and costs?

CASS offers the latest in fresh produce preservation technology to enhance the value of your products, tailored specifically for the unique demands of the Vietnamese market.

Advantages of CASS’s Fresh Produce Storage Technology:

1. Atmospheric Control: Unlike conventional cold storage, which mainly relies on low temperatures, CASS employs advanced Controlled Atmosphere (CA) technology. This involves adjusting the levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen to slow down the respiration rate of fresh produce, significantly extending its shelf life while maintaining its quality and flavor.
2. Extended Shelf Life: With CA technology, fresh produce can be stored up to 2-4 times longer compared to standard cold storage. For example, apples can be preserved for up to 12 months under optimal CA conditions.
3. Reduced Waste: CA technology helps in minimizing spoilage and waste, which is often higher in conventional cold storage due to fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels. By maintaining a stable environment, CASS ensures produce stays fresher longer, thereby reducing losses.
4. Quality Preservation: CA storage maintains the taste, texture, and nutritional value of fresh produce better than conventional cold storage. This is crucial for high-value fruits and vegetables where quality is key to market success.
5. Natural Pest Control: The CA environment also helps in controlling pests naturally, without the need for chemical preservatives, thus ensuring that the produce remains safe and free from unwanted chemicals.
