Question

Describe about zero temperature storage

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: Keep your freezer at zero degrees or below to maintain the quality of frozen foods. Most foods will maintain good quality longer if the freezer temperature is -10°F to - 20° F . At temperatures between 0° F and 32°F, food deteriorates more rapidly.

Answer 2

Answer:

For the purpose of making storage, the land between two walls should be

filled with sand. The wall and the roof of the chamber should be soaked. In this

way, we can keep the expected temperature and humidity. It is better to have a

permanent water source for wetting. Then the fruits and vegetables in the plastic

crates can be kept in the chamber. The crate should be covered with a thin

plastic. This technique of storage is called storage done in the zero temperature

technique. It is also called Zero Energy Cold Storage System.

It has been found that the fruits stored by the zero temperature technique

are comparatively better than the fruits stored in the refrigerators. This technique

stores fruits and vegetables without any external energy.

For storing the fruits and vegetables, such zero temperature technique

storages are constructed in Kaski, Palpa, Pyuthan, Sindhuli, Kavrepalanchowk

and Jumla districts. Such storages are constructed by using the locally available

materials like brick, stone, bamboo, straw, etc.

The farmers farming in small scale also can store their production in this

method. They can supply their production to the market when they get good

price and earn profit.
