"Apple sales are under pressure, and the market demand for preservatives is increasing"

At present, the storage of domestically produced apples is coming to an end in China. Under the circumstances that the current market momentum is not good and the fruit market has entered the off-season of consumption, the changes in the inventory and the later consumption end are the focus of merchants' attention, and the inventory is facing greater pressure.

Faced with this situation, the demand for the preservation of fruit storage and transportation has surged, and the market demand for 1-MCP has increased. Shandong Aoweite Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer and exporter of preservatives. Manager Wang shared suggestions on apple fresh-keeping management and the advantages of 1-MCP technology for fruit fresh-keeping.

"1-MCP is a competitive inhibitor of ethylene. Applying 1-MCP before the plant's endogenous ethylene production or exogenous ethylene action, it will preemptively bind to the ethylene receptor, thereby preventing the binding of ethylene to its receptor, and the ripening process of apples will be suspended. Only when the fruit leaves the cold storage and is exposed to a room environment, will the pulp cells produce new ethylene receptors again, and a series of physiological and biochemical reactions related to ripening will restart, and the fresh quality of apples has been well preserved during this period." Wang said.

"With the Logfresh technology, it only takes 24 hours for the ethylene receptors of the fruit to combine with 1-MCP in the cold storage. After 24 hours, regular storage management of apples in cold storage can be carried out, which can effectively reduce storage diseases of apples, and maintain product hardness, crispness, color, flavor, aroma and nutritional content."

When talking about product features, Wang said, "The active ingredient 1-MCP of Logfresh is extremely pure, and it is healthy and harmless to the human body and the environment. In addition to apples, products can be also widely used in kiwi and avocado, bananas, tomatoes, flowers and other ethylene-sensitive products.”

Then, Wang shared the company's export situation, "The outbreak has brought huge challenges to the fruit export industry. Shipments are tight, freight costs are skyrocketing, and the time limit is extended. Faced with this situation, the demand for fruit storage and transportation has surged. The market demand for 1-MCP has increased," said Wang, "but the transportation to some markets has not fully recovered, which will have a certain impact on our exports."

Shandong Aoweite Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is committed to providing fresh-keeping solutions for major fruit and vegetable suppliers around the world. The company's fresh-keeping products cover the entire agricultural product supply chain. "Whether it's in the farmer's field, the warehouse's cold storage, the logistics transport vehicle, or the packaging factory, we can customize according to the customer's demand for product preservation and provide the product that the customer needs." Wang said.

"Currently 1-MCP products have obtained registration certificates in Argentina, New Zealand, Australia and other countries, and have cooperated with distributors in many regions. Now we are looking for partners around the world."
