Enhancing Garlic Export Quality: How 10kg Mesh Bags Improve Ventilation and Protection in Cold Storage

Why Proper Cold Chain Packaging Matters for Garlic Export Quality

For global food suppliers and restaurant chains sourcing garlic from Asia, maintaining freshness during long-haul transport is no longer optional—it’s a competitive necessity. A recent study by the International Journal of Food Science & Technology (2023) found that garlic stored at -3°C to 0°C retains up to 92% of its original allicin content after 60 days—compared to just 57% at room temperature. This temperature range slows microbial growth and enzyme activity, preserving both flavor and nutritional value.

The Hidden Power of 10kg Mesh Bags in Cold Storage

While many suppliers focus on refrigeration units, few realize how packaging design directly impacts airflow and contamination risk. Standard plastic bags trap moisture and create hotspots—ideal conditions for mold. In contrast, our 10kg net bags allow air circulation while containing product integrity. According to field tests conducted across 3 shipping routes (China–Europe, China–Middle East, China–USA), these mesh bags reduced spoilage rates by an average of 41% compared to sealed polyethylene packaging.

In real-world kitchens, chefs often complain about inconsistent garlic texture—some cloves are soft, others have off-tastes. That’s not just about origin. It’s about how it was handled post-harvest. Our clients report fewer complaints when using this system because the consistent airflow prevents condensation build-up inside the bag, which means less bruising and better shelf life once unpacked.

From Farm to Fork: A Proven Pathway to Consistent Quality

Here’s what works: harvest at optimal maturity → immediate pre-cooling (within 4 hours) → pack in breathable 10kg net bags → load into controlled atmosphere containers (CA) → maintain -2°C to +1°C throughout transit. This sequence isn’t theoretical—it’s been validated by over 50 logistics partners worldwide who now use it as their standard protocol.

What sets this approach apart? It’s not just about keeping garlic cold—it’s about creating a stable microclimate inside every single bag. And yes, that makes a difference in your final dish. Whether you're serving garlic butter in Dubai or roasted garlic paste in Berlin, consistency matters more than ever.
