Method for Storage of Agricultural Products and High Humidity Cold Storehouse therefor

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for storage of an agricultural product by subjecting to low temperature storage in a high humidity food condition is provided. It prevents the weight reduction of the agricultural product and permits the long-term freshness of the agricultural product to be achieved. The high humidity and low temperature storehouse is also used without a humidifier, an electric heater or the like to achieve the subjective of the method. CONSTITUTION: An agricultural product is charged into a low temperature storehouse and controlled to allow the log mean temperature difference(Tm) of an evaporator defined by the formula(2) to be maintained within 4.5deg.C. The formula(2) is D(%)=a(Tm)+b(a and b are an integer, R2=0.9966), Tm=T1-T2/2.3log(T1/T2), with the proviso that T1: a temperature difference(deg.C) between outlet air and evaporation, T2: a temperature difference(deg.C) between inlet air and evaporation.
