The freshness of fruit directly affects the profitability of retailers. Especially when the market supply and demand are unstable and the sales speed cannot be accurately predicted. How to better ensure the quality of the fruit during transportation and retailing and extend the shelf life is a major challenge for the retail end.
Shandong Aoweite Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer and exporter of fresh-keeping products. Manager Wang is from this company that developed a fresh-keeping sachet suitable for boxed fruits.
"1-MCP is a competitive inhibitor of ethylene. When 1-MCP is applied before endogenous ethylene production or exogenous ethylene action in plants, it will preemptively bind to ethylene receptors, thereby preventing the binding of ethylene. The ripening process will be suspended. Only when the fruit leaves the cold storage and is exposed to a normal environment, the pulp cells will produce new ethylene receptors again, and a series of physiological and biochemical reactions related to ripening will be restarted."
The freshness of the fruit will be well preserved during this period. Wang said: "Logfresh fresh-keeping sachets are suitable for apples, pears, avocados, mangoes, plums, prunes, cherries and other fruits. After using fresh-keeping sachets, boxed fruits can not only extend the storage time by 50%-100%, but also effectively avoid the problems of water loss, hardness reduction, and poor taste caused by transportation delays."
"Small and medium-sized customers who do not have large-scale cold storage can use fresh-keeping sachets separately in fruit cartons. In addition, these sachets can also be used with cold chains," said Wang. "Our fresh-keeping sachets have a variety of specifications, which are suitable for different packages of various sizes and can be used in all aspects of post-harvest storage and transportation of fruits. We can also provide customers with customized fresh-keeping solutions according to different scenarios."
When asked about the advantages compared with similar products on the market, Wang said, "Our products are of high purity and have no smell. They are also very easy to use. You only need to put them in a fruit carton. One sachet can be used for 10-15kg fruit."
"As the market gradually opens up, our sales have increased. I think there will be more and more demand for fruit, and retailers will also demand more and more of our products."
Shandong Aoweite Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is committed to providing fresh-keeping solutions for major fruit and vegetable suppliers around the world. At present, the 1-MCP products have obtained registration certificates in Argentina, New Zealand, Australia and other countries, and have established cooperation with distributors in many regions. Now it is looking for partners from all over the world. "In addition to fresh-keeping sachets, our fresh-keeping product lines also include products suitable for cold storage fumigation, fresh-keeping bags, and canned products for containers."
