so as to maintain the quality and flavor of strawberries during storage for a long time. 
Therefore, using cold room to store strawberries is currently the best preservation method.

Q: How long can Caomei cold room be stored? What is the temperature requirement?

A: The most suitable temperature for storage is 0°C to 0.5°C, and the relative humidity should be kept between 85 and 95%. 
In addition, a controlled atmosphere warehouse is more suitable for storing strawberries. 
Therefore, the oxygen content in the warehouse must be maintained between 3% and 5%, and the carbon dioxide concentration should be controlled between 15% and 20%. 
Remember that the concentration should not exceed 25%.
Using this method, strawberries can still maintain their original quality after 12 months of storage. 
And the taste, color, aroma, skin shrinkage, etc. are not significantly different from those at the time of storage.

Precautions for strawberry cold room storage:

3. A cold room pad must be placed between the stacked goods and the ground to ensure that the bottom goods are ventilated;
4. The temperature of strawberries stored in the fresh-keeping cold room should not be lower than -3℃.
 If the temperature is too low, it is easy to cause chilling damage. If the temperature is too low, signs of frostbite will be found after three or four days of storage;
5. Strawberries must be packed into plastic food boxes or polyethylene plastic bags with a thickness of 0.04mm before storage, and then the bag mouth should be sealed:
6. Strawberries should be pre-cooled in the cold room immediately after picking. 
Vacuum pre-cooling has the best effect, and forced ventilation can also be used for cooling, which is not suitable for water cooling. 
The faster the pre-cooling and thirst reduction, the better the storage effect;
7. The cold room door should be closed tightly. 
At the same time, minimize the number of warehouse entry and the time in the warehouse. 
When goods and personnel enter and exit, they will continuously release thermal torsion, which will increase the heat load and cause the temperature and humidity in the warehouse to fluctuate, which will affect the quality of product storage;
