Excuse me, does anyone know a preservative called smart fresh? Can you introduce me?
Xi, China, September 9, 2008-As an advanced fruit preservation technology product, Smart Fresh TM quality system has effectively helped apple and kiwifruit growers and distributors in Shaanxi Province, and improved the reputation of their products in the eyes of consumers and in domestic and foreign markets. Mr. Fang Deng, China business manager of AgroFresh, the owner and operator of Smart Fresh TM quality system, said that recently, due to the increasing fruit sales of customers of Smart Fresh TM products in the domestic market and their successful export to the European Union, the company successfully held an apple storage and preservation technology promotion conference in Xi 'an, providing more technical analysis and market support for local fruit storage and transportation users. This also means that in the 2008 fruit season, more apple and kiwifruit storage enterprises will use the smart fresh TM quality system for storage. Mr. Deng said: "Our technology is helping the local market to harvest high-quality fruits for export, and at the same time it can supply the domestic market and consumers with higher demand. This will be very helpful to establish Shaanxi's reputation as the world's top apple producing area. " Smart fresh TM quality system can prevent apples and other fruits from being affected by its own natural ripening agent ethylene after harvest. Ethylene can ripen fruits, which will eventually lead to softening and spoilage of fruits. As an important breakthrough in postharvest technology of fruits and vegetables in recent years, the intelligent fresh TM quality system can keep the quality of fruits as high as that of freshly picked fruits in the process of storage, transportation and wholesale until they reach consumers. China National Intellectual Property Administration (SIPO) of China issued a patent for the quality system of Smart Fresh TM, including the formulation, manufacturing and construction release system with 1-MCP( 1- methylcyclopropene) as the main component. Smart fresh TM quality system is suitable for a variety of fruits, including apples and kiwis. Smart Fresh TM technology is also the only one registered by China Pesticide Testing Institute (ICAMA) and can be used nationwide. Registration ensures that products are reliable and safe for users, consumers and the environment. Unregistered products cannot provide the same guarantee. For fruit exporters and cold storage operators, smart fresh TM technology has effectively improved their market adaptability, especially in the case of oversupply in the market, and at the same time reduced the losses caused by fruit softening and rot. "We have a dedicated and experienced service team to provide intelligent and fresh TM technical services, which will make our customers enjoy this process more confidently." Mr. Deng said that at present, smart fresh TM preservation technology has been successfully applied to some apple varieties with small cultivation area, such as Jinguan, but at present, because this variety is not easy to preserve, the cultivation area is gradually decreasing, and it can also be applied to main varieties such as Red Fuji and Gala. "Using smart fresh TM technology to store varieties with small cultivation area can help them improve postharvest quality such as fruit hardness and flavor. This will make these apples with unique and obvious characteristics loved by more consumers.
