Reducing waste off Fresh Produce by using the right technology Ivo Hendriks Commercieel Directeur PerfoTec
What’s happening?
Science of respiration Fruit and vegetables need oxygen to stay fresh The respiration rate varies by variety and changes through the seasons
Science of AMAP By controlling (reducing) the amount of oxygen, the respiration is reduced and an equilibrium atmosphere created inside the packaging. This reduces the aging process. An equilibrium atmosphere can be achieved by adapting the permeability of the packaging through microperforations
