Bioconservacion solutions to keep fruit and veg fresh in transit and storage
All fruits and vegetables produce a natural ripening hormone called ethylene. Even in small concentrations, ethylene speeds up the ripening and fungal decay of fruits and vegetables. Hence, the produce is spoiled even before it reaches the consumer. By removing air contaminants such as ethylene, odours and microorganisms, fresh produce keeps its organoleptic properties along the distribution network. The distribution network consists of both storage and transport, and both are crucial to maintain the highest quality of fresh produce.
Purifying air is essential. Better air quality = less waste = longer shelf life = more profit.
Bi-On® LL, which stands for Long Life, is a new ethylene scrubber with the highest absorption capacity in the market. This disposable pellet is composed of a clay and mineral base impregnated with sodium permanganate. The ethylene absorption capacity ranges from minimum 6 litres to maximum 7 litres ethylene per Kg.
Bi-On® LL is available in different types of packaging with different dimensions: modules, sachets or bulk.
Long Life pellets can be used during transport and storage of fruits, vegetables and ornamentals. This product is a very effective oxidizing agent of ethylene, ethanol, acetaldehyde and many other volatile organic compounds. It is not an additive and 100% disposable. It significantly extends the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Bioconservacion includes with all manufactured badges a unique Quality Control and traceability number.
As part of this new range, Bioconservacion offers Bi-ON LL sachets specifically designed to maintain the quality of strawberries and organic grapes. The sachets are made of a tear resistant, waterproof Tyvek material and are approved for food contact.
ETH-2500: Ethylene removal in controlled atmosphere storage of apples and pears
Bioconservacion designed an innovative air purification system that removes high amounts of ethylene during prolonged periods of time.
Bioconservacion ETH-2500 machine controls, without interfering in the physiology of the fruit, large quantities of ethylene and other volatiles that are produced during long controlled atmosphere storage of apples and pears.
The name ETH-2500 is related to the airflow of this machine: 2500m3 per hour. This new air purification system has the size of a fruit pallox and is designed to replace one pallox of fruit in the coldstore. The base of the ETH-2500 adapts to the different pallox dimensions. It contains large amounts of media with a high ethylene absorption capacity
Compared to other solutions, Bioconservacion ETH2500 has low energy consumption and requires low maintenance.
