Semperfresh, special postharvest coatings for whole fruit

Semperfresh is a coating developed by AgriCoat NaureSeal for postharvest protection of fruit such as apples, pears, melons, pineapples, kiwis, cherries, tropical and subtropical fruit.

In order to obtain the best results it should be applied after hydrocooling. It can be applied at the same time as fungicides.

Why Semperfresh?

Semperfresh delays ripening and extends shelf life of fresh produce. It is an edible, sucrose ester based coating that is tasteless, biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

It can be applied pre- and post-harvest to protect produce against physiological and mechanical disorders.

Semperfresh delays ripening by creating a modified atmosphere within the fruit, slowing respiration. The ingredients are approved world wide by WHO, US FDA and EU.

The active ingredients create edible film around the surface of the fruit. It's widely used in the fresh pear industry to reduce bruising, weight loss and preserver it's green colour. Fruit pressure is maintained without delaying normal ripening process for consumers.
