TransFresh Controlled Atmosphere Systems Maintain Quality and Freshness.
The rate of respiration is reduced in Controlled Atmosphere, which:
- Tectrol® Controlled Atmosphere dramatically reduces the loss of green color on
fruit skin. Incidence of decay and oleocelosos is reduced.
- Firmness retention is retained above normal refrigeration.
- Fruit has less weight loss, providing a fresher appearance.
- Higher maturities can be shipped, allowing more fruit volume available at origin,
and higher juice content in fruit at destination.
Profits are Maximized at Distribution and Retail
- Less shrink means more marketable fruit, and increased profits.
- TransFresh Controlled Atmosphere lime quality is comparable to air freight
arrivals.
Product Shelf Life is Improved
- Better arrival quality extends marketability by several days.
- Rind color is retained 30-50% longer then under refrigeration alone.
