During Medfel 2012 Globachem introduced the product Platina for the French and Spanish fruit growers. "This product is on the basis of the amino acid tryptophan. Amongst others the product is registered for use on cherries. Platina increases the elasticity of the cell and bursting of the cherries has significantly been reduced. In addition to reducing the bursting the use of Platina also produces a better quality, higher fruit weight and a higher sugar content. Wim explains that the product can also be used not only for cherries but also on pears. With pears the fruit weight increases by about 6 grams on average. The use of Platina is allowed in France, Spain, Belgium, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary' according to Wim Webers.
