PacLife technologies for post-harvest blueberries

The blueberry is a highly appreciated berry worldwide and is expected to grow by approximately 10 to 15 % in the export market this year. These fruits must maintain optimum characteristics of firmness, appearance, size and flavour, as well as their safety, on arrival at their destination. This is why PACLIFE has developed a complete catalogue of postharvest solutions for blueberries. PacLife's Harvestech technology minimises the dehydration of blueberries, preserving their firmness from harvest to storage, which helps to increase the percentage of exportable fruit. Furthermore, with these caps, the blueberries are protected from dust and external contamination. For the preservation of fresh blueberries at origin and destination, PacLife's MAP technology effectively preserves the freshness and organoleptic properties of these berries for 90 days. This facilitates export by sea to distant destinations. On the other hand, the Film FlowPack technology makes it possible to keep the fruit fresh and turgid in situations that are difficult to control and handle, making it an excellent alternative for protecting blueberries. It is a patented modified atmosphere film, intelligent, active and highly resistant to temperature breaks and cold chains. It is a technology that also generates greater efficiency in packaging processes and comes in multiple formats to adapt to different needs. Together with the wide range of solutions for blueberry packaging, PacLife makes the difference by offering permanent technical assistance through its offices, which are a fundamental part of the post-harvest process. From there, we offer an after-sales service that allows us to deliver better results and more information to our export customers.
