The Importance of Modified Atmosphere Bags in Storing Fresh Produce

  The Concept of Modified Atmosphere Technology Modified atmosphere technology is based on altering the composition of gases around the produce to slow down natural deterioration. This is achieved by reducing oxygen levels while increasing carbon dioxide and nitrogen levels, creating an optimal environment for the produce. The concept is highly effective in preserving the freshness, texture, and nutritional value of fruits and vegetables, minimizing wastage. Modified atmosphere storage of fruits and vegetables extends shelf life by reducing the respiration rate and ethylene production of the produce. These processes are responsible for ripening and eventual decay. By carefully managing gas levels, modified atmosphere storage keeps fruits and vegetables in a near-harvest state for longer durations, benefiting both suppliers and consumers. How Modified Atmosphere Bags Work Modified atmosphere bag  are designed to work hand-in-hand with this technology. These specialized ...

Ethylene Absorbers and Sachets: Extending Shelf Life and Reducing Waste in Produce

In the food and agriculture industries, one of the primary challenges is ensuring that produce reaches consumers as fresh as possible. Many fruits and vegetables naturally produce ethylene gas as they ripen. While ethylene is essential in regulating growth and ripening, its presence in high concentrations can speed up spoilage, shortening the shelf life of fresh produce. Ethylene absorber and sachets are essential tools to slow this process, helping businesses maintain product quality, reduce waste, and improve sustainability efforts. These ethylene control products are small sachets or packets containing active ingredients that absorb ethylene from the surrounding environment. Typically placed in storage containers, shipping boxes, or packaging alongside fresh produce, they work to prevent excessive buildup of ethylene gas, significantly extending the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, and even flowers. This simple, cost-effective solution has transformed the way produce is stored a...
