The apples and pears that are preserved by being refrigerated may have alterations to their outer skin as it can turn brown due to the stress from low temperatures.
The most common of these alterations is the fruit’s scalding, a superficial necrosis of the skin that affects the first five or six epidermal layers of the fruit and that usually develops after the fruits have been cold stored for months.
Last year, Decco Iberica developed a new product that, after two consecutive seasons of trials in different apple and pear varieties on an industrial scale, with the collaboration of CSIC, turned out to be very effective for this type of problem.
Naturcover Extra Conservation, is a natural edible coating that delays the onset of scalding symptoms.
The tests concluded that Naturcover Extra Conservation slowed down the ripening of the fruits, their respiratory intensity and the development of scalding, so it prevents the fruits from losing weight by dehydration, and therefore increases their shelf life.
Iberian Decco ensures that their product leaves no residues, as it is a natural and edible coating, and that it is also compatible with other post-harvest treatments.
