Trials in Argentina have demonstrated the effectiveness of the MCPBag® powered by Vidre+™ technology for extending the shelf life of pears and reducing waste in supply chains. Research revealed that pears packed in MCPBag® ripened significantly slower compared to standard packaging, with ethylene production reduced by 60%. After 4 to 120 days of storage, pears in MCPBag® maintained firmness and color, extending their marketability by 4-8 days. This innovation allows for an environment that inhibits ripening without requiring complex infrastructure. Fresh Inset’s Vidre+™ technology involves a coated surface that gradually releases the freshness-protecting compound 1-MCP, revolutionizing how fruits are packaged. With the potential to decrease global fruit waste by 9.46 million tonnes annually, MCPBag® is a game-changing solution for retailers and growers. Fresh Inset, established in 2017 and a member of the International Fresh Produce Association, specializes in innovative food-tech solutions to enhance produce preservation.
