The significance and preservation method of flower refrigeration
As a delicate agricultural product, flowers are not easy to transport and store. Since the respiratory function of the flowers is weakened after picking, the water of the flowers is easy to lose, and they will wither soon. Therefore, it is necessary to keep fresh after picking, so as to prolong the blooming time of the flowers.The use of cold storage has played an important role in the preservation of flowers today, so that flowers can still maintain a bright appearance for a long period of time after being picked. In this article, we will talk about the meaning and principle of flower cold storage and the temperature and humidity requirements of different flower varieties forcold storage.
Significance of flower cold storage
1.Flower cultivation can regulate the flowering period. Due to the variety of flowers or other reasons, flowers cannot be supplied as planned, which is undoubtedly a huge economic loss for merchants who cultivate and sell flowers. In this case, putting it in a flower cold storage at an appropriate temperature can delay its growth and development and make it bloom in time. For early-blooming flowers, moving them to cold storage can extend the flowering period by lowering the temperature. After the demand for flowers increases and the price increases, the flowers can be sold out of the warehouse to obtain more considerable profit margins.
2.At the same time, in order to meet the annual or multi-season supply demand of the flower market, the flowers can be stored in the cold storage, taken out and planted in batches, so as to ensure continuous supply and guarantee the annual supply of the market.
The principle of flower cold storage
On the premise of combining external thermal insulation materials, the flower cold storage uses refrigeration devices to regulate the temperature in the flower cold storage, and uses gas adjustment equipment or artificial lighting to keep the plants stored in the flower cold storage at a stable minimum physiological consumption, maintain the vitality of the plants, prolong their dormancy period, or maintain their fresh appearance. At present, there are two kinds of cold storage technologies for fresh flowers, namely, special fresh storage for fresh flowers and controlled atmosphere storage for fresh flow
