MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511010240 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on February 07, 2025, for Design And Development Of Low Energy Storage System For Fruits And Vegetables.
Inventors include Imdadul Hoque Mondal; Rushikesh Kailas Gaikwad; and Himanshu Bana.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a low-energy cold storage system designed to extend the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables by utilizing natural cooling methods. The system includes an underground storage chamber where produce is stored on plastic pallets and cooled by air circulated through a pipeline, which is naturally cooled by seepage water. The chamber integrates antimicrobial agents, such as turmeric leaf powder, and moisture-absorbing materials to prevent spoilage and slow ripening. Sensors monitor temperature, humidity, and gas composition, ensuring optimal conditions. This energy-efficient system significantly reduces energy consumption compared to traditional refrigeration, offering a sustainable solution for preserving produce, reducing wastage, and enhancing profitability for farmers and producers.
