Laboratory of fruit storage research
Research of fruit and berry storage at LSIFG is performed in various storage regimes suitable for commercial production:
In cool chambers with regulated temperature regimes;
In controlled atmosphere chambers with regulated CO2
and O2 gas regimes (ULO – Ultra Low Oxygen);
In freezers (-18 oC).
Technical equipment:
- 2 coolers (0 oC); - 2 freezers (-18 oC);
- 4 experimental fruit storage chambers „Fruit Control” (O2 and CO2 to 10%);
- 4 experimental fruit storage chambers „Lemis Baltic” (O2 and CO2 to 20%).
