At the heart of AgroFresh Inc.’s groundbreaking, patented
ethylene management systems is our proprietary 1-Methylcyclopropene
(1-MCP) technology, which helps the commercial produce and
floral industries maintain the freshness and quality of their
fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants.
The SmartFreshSM Quality
System for fruits and vegetables maintains the fresh
quality of produce during routine storage and shipping.
SmartFresh technology protects fruits and vegetables from
the effects of ethylene after harvest. Ethylene causes produce
to grow and ripen, but also to eventually soften and over-ripen.
Typically introduced right after harvest, the SmartFresh
Quality
System helps to maintain just-picked quality by protecting
fruits and vegetables from ethylene damage while in storage,
awaiting consumption.
AgroFresh’s EthylBloc™ technology uses
our proprietary 1-MCP technology to help the floral industry
and flower and
plant producers to maintain the freshness and quality of
their products. Flowers and plants, just like fresh fruits
and vegetables,
also produce ethylene to help them grow and flourish, but
it also eventually causes them to wilt and fade after harvest.
EthylBloc technology works with flowers and plants to keep
them field fresh and beautiful throughout shipping and distribution.
The
SmartFresh Quality System and EthylBloc technologies
do not create or improve quality but rather maintain the
just
harvested quality that growers work so hard to produce
for their customers.
Imagine a world where the impact of a mid-summer’s
heat on crop yield is significantly reduced
and where billions of dollars lost annually
to crop stress can now be saved. With
the development of Invinsa™ crop stress
protection this world may one day become a
reality for farmers around the globe.
