What's Included in EPC Scope
Mushroom Cold Storage SOP
- Target temperature: 1–4°C for button mushroom, 2–5°C for oyster — RH 90–95%
- Pre-cool harvest within 2 hours of picking — every hour delay shortens shelf life by ~10%
- Palletise mushrooms 100 mm above floor and away from walls to prevent contact-blackening
- Never co-store with ethylene producers (apples, bananas, tomatoes) — accelerates spoilage
- Daily temperature log + monthly evaporator coil cleaning — prevents pathogen build-up
- DG auto-changeover within 30 seconds — grid failures > 30 min cause measurable quality loss
