Keep your lemons fresh and flavorful with our lemon cold storage solutions. Cut waste, extend shelf life, and get the right storage for your harvest today.
At Mechair Cold Storage Room, lemons can be stored for long periods (up to 3 months), through ethylene control, as it is one of the main factors leading to premature ripening and decay during storage. This is done without the use of Controlled Atmosphere (CA) storage, thanks to our specialized lemon storage refrigeration system designed to keep lemons green and fresh for 3 months.
In order to control the ethylene inside the lemon cold storage room, it is essential to continuously remove all the generated ethylene from the internal environment.
The air purification unit is installed inside the cold storage room at any convenient location provided.
Extended Shelf Life: By reducing or eliminating ethylene levels, ethylene scrubbers help slow down the ripening and decay processes, thereby extending the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
Improved Quality: Reduced ethylene levels can also improve the overall quality of stored produce, minimizing issues like bruising, fungal growth, and other physiological changes.
Reduced Waste: By extending shelf life and reducing spoilage, ethylene scrubbers help minimize food waste and losses associated with decay.
Ideal Lemon Storage capacity: Ranges from 50MT to 5000MT.

Extended Shelf Life: Cold storage slows down the ripening process, allowing lemons to be stored for a longer period without losing quality. It also reduces spoilage.
Quality Preservation: Cold temperatures help maintain the flavor, aroma, and nutritional value of lemons. This is especially important for commercial storage and distribution.
Reduced Spoilage: By keeping lemons at lower temperatures, the growth of mold and bacteria is inhibited, reducing the risk of spoilage.
Market Availability: Lemon cold storage allows lemons to be available year-round, even when they are out of season, thus stabilizing supply and reducing price fluctuations associated with seasonal shortages.
Transport Efficiency: Cold storage facilities can facilitate the transport of lemons over long distances, making it easier to reach global markets.
Cost-Effectiveness: By reducing waste and spoilage, cold storage can lead to cost savings for producers and retailers, as they can sell more of their product.
Better Handling: Cold storage can make handling and processing lemons easier, as they can be kept fresh until they are ready to be packaged or sold.
Improved Food Safety: Maintaining a controlled temperature can help ensure that lemons are safe for consumption by minimizing the risk of foodborne pathogens.
