This season, Henan and Shandong regions encountered extreme weather with a sharp drop in temperature during the growth stage of young pears. Young pears were frostbitten, which had a more obvious impact on production. At present, growers in Hebei-producing areas have completed bagging.
In May, parts of Shijiazhuang, Hebei, suffered from heavy rainfall and hail, which did not have much impact on the main pear-producing areas. At present, warehousing and traders are already preparing for the post-harvest preservation of the new season's fruits. SPM Biosciences(Beijing) Inc. is a professional fresh-keeping service provider. Debby, from the company, accepted an interview with Freshplaza and introduced the company's "Angel Fresh" product that can be used for fresh pear storage and transportation.
"The use of 1-MCP for fresh-keeping in cold storage and transportation of fresh pears has been widely used in major production areas around the world. 1-MCP is an efficient post-harvest fresh-keeping agent, which can effectively prolong the storage time of fresh pears and effectively avoid water loss, hardness reduction, and poor taste caused by the delay of the shipping schedule which means it can provide customers with fresher, high-quality pears with a longer shelf life." Debby said, "It can be used for cold storage and transportation. If it can be used together with low-temperature, air-conditioning and other fresh-keeping technologies, fresh pears can achieve better freshness."
In addition to using 1-MCP in cold storage and long-distance transportation, in order to extend the freshness period of pears in the supply chain, some retailers have begun to use preservative products in the retail link. "Many importers and exporters have asked about our Angel Fresh sachet. Its application is very simple and convenient, as long as the product is placed in the package," Debby said, "We can also provide customers with customized fresh-keeping solutions according to different packaging and usage scenarios."
