“…The compressed straw thickness must be in a range of 15 to 25 cm. After two weeks, the clamp is covered with soil up to a depth of 15-20 cm, which varies from place to place and depends on the environmental requirements (El-Ramady et al, 2015;Elansari et al, 2019).

“…Cellars must ideally be dark, cold, and damp. They must be located by the basement walled-off area or garage having a significant area of optimum size and windows for proper ventilation (Elansari et al, 2019).

Most of the horticultural crops are seasonal, having a relatively short harvesting season, and most of them are highly perishable. Hence, proper storage of the horticultural crops using appropriate methods would prolong their availability. The present article gives details about various storage structures classified into two categories, i.e., traditional storage/low-cost storage technologies and improved methods/ modern methods /high-cost storage technologies. Traditional storage structures can be beneficial for farmers needing a small-scale storage system. These systems include in-situ storage, sand and coir, clamps, pits, cellars, ventilated storage, and evaporative cooling. On the other hand, modern methods include refrigerated storages like cold storages, environment-controlled storage (controlled atmospheric storage), modified atmosphere storage, and hypobaric storage. All the storage methods are equally important and can provide high revenue to the farmers and food industries.

This article shows the importance of the local carrot root fruit in the national economy, which is loved by the population today. Its branches of use for the food industry, i.e. cases of maximum preservation of its medicinal properties and chemical composition compared to other types of vegetables, in the production of various products in a fresh yellow appearance, storage and processing for certain periods, have been studied. In addition, the superiority levels of carrots over other products, as well as the main chemical composition of carrot tubers in any form of use, the amount of dissolved dry matter in the tubers and the level of acidity in the juice were studied. The dependence of the storage period of carrots in the freshly cut state and the long-term storage period, in addition, the main technological parameters in the process of long-term storage of carrot tubers in modern refrigerated warehouses are presented. Information on the total amount of natural weight loss during initial cooling and long-term storage with changes in quality indicators depending on the temperature and relative humidity of the air in the cooling chamber is presented.

As the global demand for food increases, the efficiency and environmental sustainability of refrigeration systems have become increasingly critical issues. Cascaded refrigeration systems (CRSs) are widely used in the Chinese food cold chain due to their capacity to meet a wide range of temperature requirements. However, energy consumption of these systems is always high. If phase change materials (PCMs) are combined with the refrigeration systems, the energy-saving effect is remarkable. The paper reviews the integration of PCMs within CRS, focusing on their potential to reduce energy consumption, thereby improving food safety and reducing reliance on conventional, electricity-intensive refrigeration methods. The study categorizes and explores the low-temperature applications of PCMs in CRS, providing novel insights into enhancing energy efficiency in food cold chain logistics. Despite most PCM research focusing on single-stage systems, this review innovates by introducing PCM integration in multistage cascade systems, which is particularly relevant for low-temperature requirements. The discussion encompasses the structure, working fluids, and applications of CRSs in the cold chain, emphasizing the role of PCMs in sustainable cold chain management. The review concludes by highlighting the need for further research on PCMs in CRS, especially regarding their economic viability and large-scale implementation potential.
