System for controlling the air composition within a storage room for breathing vegetable products
First Claim
1. System for controlling the air composition within a storage room, the system comprising:
- a storage room for breathing vegetable products;
means operatively associated to the storage room for controlling the oxygen content of the atmosphere in the storage room;
first sensor means operatively associated to the storage room for sensing the air composition in the storage room;
second sensor means operatively associated to the storage room for determining development of metabolites in the vegetable products at transfer from normal breathing to fermentation; and
a processor including means for receiving signals sensed by the first and second sensor means, said processor including means for supplying control signals to the means for controlling the oxygen content, whereby the vegetable products are stored in an air composition in which the oxygen content is as low as possible.

Abstract
System for controlling the air composition within a storage room for breathing vegetable products. The storage room is connected to elements for controlling the oxygen content of the atmosphere in the storage room and comprises one or more sensors for sensing the air composition in the storage room. A processor is available for receiving the sensor signals and supplying control signals to oxygen content controlling elements. Furthermore the storage room comprises sensors for determining the development of metabolites in the vegetable products at the transfer of normal breathing to fermentation. The processor based on the signals, delivered by the sensors, controls the oxygen content controlling elements such that the vegetable products are stored in an air composition in which the oxygen contents is as low as possible without fermentation occurring.
