Reliable protection for sensitive fruit

An unscathed skin preserves the quality and taste of fruit. It keeps them from drying out, and thus from becoming lighter. AGROFRESH drew inspiration from the natural protective membrane when developing VitaFresh. This new coating for citrus fruits, avocados, and mangos is edible and plant-based. VitaFresh offers new opportunities for retailers, helping to influence consumers’ enjoyment of fresh, tasty produce. They are turnkey and easy-to-apply, as part of regular packinghouse operations.  The Control-Tec applicator from Agrofresh applies an even coating of this protective layer. It dries in minutes and extends fruits’ lifespan, even on long shipping routes. Agrofresh will showcase its extensive lineup of innovations for fresh produce at Fruit Logistica, from April 5 to 7, 2022 in Berlin, Germany (Hall 21., Booth D-02).   Food waste is reduced, and the products’ quality is preserved.
