Turkey: Ser Pak announces successful vapour control results
The Prolong Vapour Control was successfully trialled at the beginning of the 2012 season and is where melons are shipped in 5 kg -12 kg -15 kg in cartons.
Prolong Vapour Control has technology with Modified Atmosphere (MA) and high moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR).
MA is what slows down respiration, inhibits ethylene and decay and thereby maintains freshness during prolonged storage and transportation.
High MVTR is that which will eliminate excess condensation and reduce the risk of decay associated with it on the one hand and prevent excess dehydration on the other is therefore a prerequisite for a successful product. At the consumer side: there is excellent product visibility and a concentrated fruit aroma when opening the pack.
The importance of a high MVTR is best seen when comparing perfrormance with that polyethylene liners, characterized by low MVTR values: profuse condensation is noticed in polyethylene liners during prolonged storage at 6°C, whereas no condensation is evident in the Prolong Vapour Control liners. This condensation results prevent the surface rot and growth mould, Prolong Vapour Control liners as seen in the pictures.
