METHOD AND A REFRIGERATED CONTAINER, A REFRIGERATED TRUCK OR A REFRIGERATED TRAILER FOR THE RIPENING OF VEGETABLE PRODUCTS IN A CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A23B7/152 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the food industry. A method is proposed that provides different ripening periods for fruits and vegetables during transportation, according to which a controlled atmosphere is created inside the ripening space; temperature change from the temperature at which the ripened products are contained in a controlled atmosphere without ripening to the temperature at which the ripened products ripen in a controlled atmosphere; metered supply of the maturing agent to a controlled atmosphere; checking whether the rate of ripening increases or decreases, and determining the state of ripening by measuring the intensity of CO₂ respiration. With an increase in the intensity of CO₂ respiration, the maturation model is calibrated. When a given stage of maturation is reached, the temperature is changed to the transport temperature for the matured products and they are kept in a given state of ripening in a controlled atmosphere.

EFFECT: invention provides the necessary ripening of fruits and vegetables.
