Cold Chain System

Cold-chain system

Korean strawberries areexported globally with the development of new technology to prolong freshness.

Strawberries that have been in preliminary refrigeration go through a microbial control process in a machine designed to maintain freshness. This machine treats CO₂ and ClO₂ at the same time which increases the hardness of the strawberries, reduces decay, and extends storage and shelf life.

*Machine to maintain freshness : Hardness of strawberry increased by 1.5-2 times and most floating bacteria is annihilated.

*Functional MA container : Prolongs freshness for 2-3 days (compared to regular film) and delays maturation.

K-BERRY Tip

Cleaning and Storage

How to clean your strawberries

The flesh is softer than most other fruits so it’s best to wash lightly under running water. When immersed in water for more than 30 seconds, the Vitamin C is dissolved in water and decreases taste. Wash lightly under running water and wash quickly in water with vinegar or a little salt.

Storing your strawberries

Always store your strawberries unwashed with the hull intact. Once the hull is removed, moisture inside the strawberry evaporates so it is best to store strawberries with the hull. In addition, Strawberries go off or mould easily when stored in moist containers. Store between 1°C~5°C in a paper bag/box or wrap in plastic and store in the fridge.
