CauseReduces dehydration
The reduction of O2 and the rise of the CO2 level in controlled quantities
reduce the fruit metabolic rate
Personalized printingPackage sealing
Effect» Maintains the fruit freshness» Reduces the fruit weight loss when released from the Controlled Atmosphere chamber» Inhibits fruit decay extending its useful life» Slows down the growth and development of microorganisms» The proper gas concentration would protect the fruit momentarily against ethylene contamination» Permits printing and positioning of the customer’s trademark » The package must be fully and correctly sealed in order to generate the atmosphere. San Jorge Packaging recommends heat sealing, which not only ensures an airtight seal, but also prevents package tampering.
Package Properties
RecommendationsThe package is designed for the following intended use
HandlingType of fruit
Pulp temperature when packaging Room temperature when packaging
Post-sealing temperature management
Storage temperatureStorage time
Values» Fruit released from the Controlled Atmosphere chamber from May on» Fruit harvested within the last 30 days » Up to 8° C» Ideally between 7° and 10° C» Optimum 0° C to avoid condensation» Maximum 14° C» The use of modified atmosphere must be associated with temperature management through rapid cooling down» 0° to 1° C» Up to 60 days under strict temperature control, keeping the cold chain.
Observations
This package must only be used to contain kiwifruit according to the above-stated specifications.
Our packages are developed, tested and validated based on standardized ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) rules.
The modified-atmosphere technology keeps the initial fruit condition, so export with quality and condition problems will not look improved.
