Vacuum-Fresh vegetable vacuum cooler drops core temperature from ambient to 4°C in under 30 minutes when the vacuum chamber reaches ≤660 Pa.
Vacuum precooling lowers the boiling point of water under reduced pressure. At ≤660 Pa, surface moisture on produce ev***rates at 2-3°C, and each gram of ev***rated water removes approximately 2260 J of latent heat.
For leafy greens, a vegetable vacuum cooler moves from atmospheric pressure to 800-1000 Pa in 0-15 min, holds 550-660 Pa at 15-25 min, and equalizes at 2-4°C by 25-30 min. A CVF-1000 vegetable vacuum cooler handles 1,000-1,200 kg of leafy greens per cycle with 25-35 min cooling time.
Vacuum cooling results show Shanghai bok choy cooled from 28°C to 3°C in 28 min with 1.2% weight loss. White button mushrooms cooled from 26°C to 4°C in 32 min with a 60% lower browning rate than cold-room precooling.
In vacuum cooling, core temperature reaches 4°C in 20-40 minutes versus 4-8 hours in a cold room, a 10x difference. Vacuum precooling also changes Day 3 weight loss from 5%-8% to 1%-2% and leafy-green shelf life from 2-3 days to 7-12 days.
