NutriCoat®
Delay ripening and reduce spoilage with Edible Coating Systems for Fresh Produce
NutriCoat® is a collection of edible coating systems that create a natural barrier between the fruits skin and the atmosphere. Our precise blend of food grade/GRAS approved ingredients, creates an odorless and tasteless thin film (only a few nm thick – practically invisible to the naked eye) around the fruits outer skin, adapting the fruit’s membrane gas permeability and changing the way it interacts with the atmosphere.
In a nutshell, NutriCoat®creates a MA (Modified Atmosphere) system on each individual fruit. The MA system is essentially lowering the respiration rate of the product and thus extending its shelf life. In addition the coating system is also proven to reduce the production and distribution of ethylene in the fruit container, further enhancing the shelf life of the fruits.
