POSTHARVEST DIRECTORY 2016

Postharvest Directory, a tool for the fruit and vegetable industry Postharvest Directory was first published in 1998 on paper, in bilingual format, Spanish / English. 2012 we joined the new technologies out of print and made available the Postharvest Directory to all Internet users, through editing it in pdf format, allowing online free download. This multiplied at least x 20 the reached users.

The contents of Postharvest Directory encompass all facets of interest in postharvest handling of fruits and vegetables especially, but is also open to non-edible products, ie flowers and ornamental plants.

The solutions provided include the fields of plant protection to prolong the preservation of fruit and vegetables, temperature management (precooling, cold storage, controlled atmospheres), ripening, packinghouse machinery and peripherals that facilitate the logistics, equipment and packaging materials, logistic, instruments to control the quality and record the storage and transit conditions, ‌ and relevant information to keep you updated through magazines, online sites and professional exhibitions.

The content of Postharvest Directory 2016 reflects the continued improvement in the measuring instruments, easier to transport and data, more reliable, easy to obtain and process.

Scales and weight verification are key players for products for which a gram is very important; labels and labelers allow the grower and packer to communicate with the customer, increasingly interested in the food information.

Packaging increases the convenience and attractive of the produce, being a showcase by themselves, while a protector due their physical properties and in some cases also by the chemical ones (intelligent plastics, etc.).

Phytosanitary transit the green way, with an offer that takes into account the product, the environment and the consumer.

Professional fairs in producing countries multiply, bringing technology to the growing areas and buyers.

Varieties, key elements at the beginning and end of the process are diversified in a quest for flavor and preservation, while also offering good agronomic properties (resistance, yield).

Maturation techniques, which by their physiology or need pattern of trade has more refined options to obtain a product that aspires to resemble as much as possible to "just picked".

POSTHARVEST DIRECTORY 2016

"Adding value" to the produce requires technology; in the Directory there are options for all ranges, and particularly minimally processed and ready to eat, and technology to control aspects of quality such as the absence of foreign materials and quality control, both external but also internal, o the product itself, through sensors.

We hope you find it interesting and useful!

Productos Citrosol At CITROSOL, for over 50 years we have devoted ourselves to research and to development, introduction and commercialisation of post-harvest technology and treatments to maintain the commercial quality of fresh fruit and vegetables.

We ensure that fresh fruit and vegetables reach the consumer without losses, with all their flavour, with maximum life, at the best moment for consumption.

Our ADVANCED POST-HARVEST SOLUTIONS are blazing the trail for post-harvest technologies and treatments: CITROSOL A S UE wax for citrus products, with its low drying temperature, which achieves considerable energy savings and a remarkable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, the ZERO SPILL SYSTEM®, which maintains initial treatment effectiveness without generating fungicide suspension residues, the Fortisol Ca and Fortisol Ca PLUS plant strengtheners, hydrosoluble salts of Ca, P and Na that stimulate the natural defences of the product, helping to control post-harvest decay and rind breakdown, and the combination of X3 NEBULIZER + GLOCUAT PC or QUACIDE PQ60 EC, a simple but innovative technology for disinfecting packinghouses.

We are currently working on the control of post-harvest diseases in other fruits and vegetables, including peppers and tomatoes. We will soon be marketing an integrated system for washing peppers that ensures the food safety of the product, controls decay in all varieties of peppers and achieves a considerable reduction in water consumption.

Productos Citrosol X3 NEBULIZER + GLOCUAT PC

Effective disinfecting has never been so easy and cheap as nowadays

The winning combination that CITROSOL has developed: the X3 Nebulizer mobile unit together with Glocuat PC, a “ready to use” biocidal disinfectant.

The nebulizer mist behaves like a gas that can reach any area or surface in the packinghouse, and on contact with walls or objects it becomes a liquid with practically total fungicidal/bactericidal effectiveness.

The mobile unit allows the introduction of sequential C+D (cleaning+disinfection) programs in all rooms and areas in the packinghouse, with very low structural costs.

greenhouse gases (CO2, CO, etc. ) during this process is, as a consequence, also lower.

DRENCH ON LINE

A new system for on-line application of fungicides which reduces treatment variability by keeping the concentration of fungicide constant

CITROSOL A S UE

CITROSOL has developed a complete line of citrus covering waxes that is also effective at much lower drying temperatures This low drying temperature wax allows energy savings of 60-70% compared to traditional waxes.

The amount of energy needed for drying the wax is therefore reduced. Emission of

This fungicide application system is very superior to other systems presently used in pre-grading – both pools and on-line systems. It reduces treatment variability and keeps constant fungicide concentration.

Besides, consumption of those agrochemicals is sharply reduced. It includes our technology ZERO SPILLAGE SYSTEM®.

FUMISPORE®

Excellent efficiencies in environmental Citrosol has developed FORTISOL® Ca Plus water-soluble salts of Ca, K and P that produce greater stimulation of the fruit’s natural defences against active pathogens in postharvest treatment of citrus.

Fortisol® Ca has proven effectiveness in reduction and control of postharvest discolouration and in decay control. Fortisol® Ca PLUS has an enhanced efficiency in decay control. Both phytofortifiers are effective in controlling postharvest decay and rind breakdown.

disinfection and surface disinfection of cold stores

CITROSOL ZERO SPILLAGE SYSTEM®

Is the first industrial system that has a maximal efficiency and homogenity in controlling rot and decay It keeps the fungicide mixture in the drencher and deposit unchanged, allowing its continuous recycling and obtaining a constant efficiency in the treatment.

At the same time, the need to treat surplus mixes is avoided, because their composition remains unchanged. The mixes can be recycled and used again during the whole citrus harvesting season.

FUMISPORE® has excellent efficiencies in environmental disinfection and surface disinfection of cold stores and several items of packinghouses, including machinery, as it is not corrosive or toxic, neither for humans or the environment (the security time is 4 hours). The combination active substance + ignition system can achieve high biocide efficiencies in any area due the high diffusion of the produced gas. Its efficacy in disinfecting field boxes and bins is also particularly high and relevant.

Deccofenato POT. Orthophenylphenol Deccoamonio Pot. Quaternary ammonium DECCO AEROSOL PLUS. NEW!!!

DECCO AEROSOL PLUS is an innovative system of disinfection by cold fumigation using a full-discharge aerosol. This aerosol pot is fitted with a valve that is pressed until trapped, staying then opened until all the content in the pot is released and diffused into the air.

Full-discharge pots Decco Aerosol Plus contain E-202 preservative. This food additive is effective against fungi, bacteria and yeasts. It is used in food industry as a preservative in refrigerated dough, pasta, prepizza, frozen pizza, beverages, tomato sauce, margarine, cheese, stuffing, yogurt, nuts, ice creams, sausages, etc, and it is authorized for fresh citrus treatment. Consequently, Decco Aerosol Plus can be used in empty rooms in any type of food and/or agriculture industry.

Decco Aerosol Plus full-discharge system is comfortable and safe for the user. It does not require any application equipment nor represents any risk for the facilities, since there is no combustion. Pots can be applied in any closed environment or room

such as cold rooms, chambers, manipulation rooms, cooled trucks, etc.

Using preservative E-202 does not trigger the appearance of resistant strains of microbial flora; therefore, pots can be periodically used. Its frequent use allows reducing or maintaining low contamination levels, (avoiding fruit inoculation during fruit and vegetable postharvest period), as well as avoiding food contamination in food industry.

Industrial applications in cold rooms or trailers showed a reduction of ambient contamination between 70-80%. Having in mind that this is a food preservative with the mentioned advantages, we can consider Decco Aerosol Plus as a powerful tool to be used in food industry at a low cost.

Infia Since 1947 Infia srl has focused on creating innovative packaging that represent a winning solution to the new requirements of packaging , offering products that provide the maximum value and protection to fruits and vegetables.

Today, Infia is a company with over 400 employees settled into two production plants in Bertinoro (Italy) and Puçol (Spain). With 162,000 m2 productive area, Infia has its headquarters in Italy. There is where their business strategies are defined.

And with its two trade branches in Spain and UK, and with the strength of its commercial network based on distributors, Infia guarantees the presence of its products worldwide and places it in the leading position as packaging manufacturer in Europe and as the second one worldwide.

Infia has always stood by continuous effort in innovation. The company was the first to believe in the future of PET as packaging material, the first to propose new models that have revolutionized the packaging of fruit and the first to present the traceability system on their packaging. Today Infia is the main promoter of RPET. This is the reason why its range of articles is one of the most diversified and comprehensive in the supermarket sector.

A technological simple concept in Inia´s punnets and clamshells – the side ventilation in the packaging units – leads to a 25 % faster precooling time of the produce, which results in less energy use and less carbon footprint, in more productivity for precooling rooms and longer shelf life of the produce.

The evacuation of humidity allows a better visibility of the produce inside while shopping in the supermarket and also diminishes the incidence of fungi and rots.

Ethylene is faster eliminated, contributing also to a longer shelf life of the contents of the package.

Its products are: “Vacuum Cooling� or vacuum precoolers, refrigeration chambers for cooling and storage, control and automation systems, and services related to refrigeration: chamber sizing, upgrading of existing chambers, design, construction and installation of refrigeration equipment; legal questions.

The vacuum precooling brings the product to the optimum storage temperature in less than half an hour. Cooling speed is very important today, due to the commercial dissemination of fresh cut presentation for fruit and vegetables and increasing demand for fresh produce throughout the year. This implies production of the same vegetable species in different climates according to season and also to displace the location of produce handling facilities.

The shelf life of the product becomes an essential aspect for companies engaged in international trade of horticultural products. The faster a low temperature is achieved, longer is the average shelf life of the produce.

The largest vacuum precooling facility in Europe

Vacuum Cooling Vacuum pre-cooling is the most effective way to cool leafy vegetables such as lettuce Iceberg, Romaine, Batavia, Trocadero, chicory, cabbage, endive, or spinach. It also cools mushrooms, flowers, strawberries, etc. Cooling time is less than 25 minutes; equipment with capacity ranging from one to thirty pallets is available, also with vacuum coolers with capacities between 7-150 m3 .

Moelco, as a specialist in vacuum precoolers, has build the largest facility of this kind in Europe for Urcisol Group, located in Murcia, Spain. With a turnover capacity of 60 pallets/hour, the facility processes and trades 800.000 lettuce units a day, keeping the highest quality for each one unit.

It is a system for control and regulation of cold storage and degreening rooms. Electronic sensors that measure humidity, temperature and infrared CO2 sensors are used for automatic management of fruit storage and degreening/ripening rooms. Chambers equipped with CITROGAS-CONTROL achieve a more precise control of temperature and relative humidity. Besides, measurement and control of CO2 levels allows for optimal ventilation, reducing the operating time of the humidity, warming and refrigeration systems and thus achieving important energy savings.

We ensure that fresh fruit and vegetables reach the consumer without losses, with all their flavour, with maximum life, at the best moment for consumption.

Furthermore, ISOLCELL supplies complete solutions for the realization of controlled atmosphere normal refrigerated and low temperature rooms, including sandwich panels, gastight doors, impermeabilization and cooling plant.

DCA, an exclusive Isolcell product

Scald control without postharvest chemical treatments

In the industry sector of the storage of apples and pears, a new technology called “DCA-CF Conservation” (Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere with the use of chlorophyll sensors) is being increasingly used.

The system, patented by the Government of Canada and developed by Dr. Angelo Zanella, is distributed throughout Europe exclusively by ISOLCELL SpA. This method replaces the static conservation parameters with dynamic ones resulting from the response given by the fruit itself. It uses a special sensor that measures the fluorescence emitted by apples and pears, thereby identifying the minimum threshold of oxygen tolerated by the fruit. The AC conservation takes place at a value slightly above that threshold, dynamically adjusted throughout the storage period. By lowering the level of oxygen in the storage chambers, internal metabolic activity is drastically reduced, which results in a better maintenance of internal and external characteristics defining product quality.

Using this technology, ISOLCELL meets the growing consumer´s demand requiring produce free of chemical residues. Another advantage of DCA is the drastic reduction of internal browning in varieties like Granny, Braeburn, Pink Lady and Fuji. And also the exclusion of drencher as post-harvest treatment to apply antioxidants, significantly reduces the percentage of rotten fruits in storage.

Due to this experience and to the close cooperation between research institutes, technology companies and customers, ISOLCELL has demonstrated once again to be at the forefront of fruit storage technology. This new storage technology is used with commercial purposes since 2003 and its use is extending rapidly overseas. The graph shows the development of DCA cameras in the last 7 years in Italy (blue), other countries (gray) and the sum of both values(green)...

Shelf life extension of root vegetables

With the cooling temperatures comes the desire for warm, hearty meals. This makes stews, soups and one-pot dinners very popular during the cold winter months. The challenge for the time-constrained cook is the preparation of the vegetables that make up these much-loved comfort foods.

Produce processors can now offer their customers prepackaged, fresh-cut root vegetables to make those home cooked meals when they have little time to chop and dice the staple ingredients.

“From potatoes to turnips to beets, the most appetizing and freshest looking root vegetables can be maintained with our NatureSeal solutions,” says Karen Murphy with NatureSeal.

“There are various approaches to enhancing the appearance of these root vegetables, making them more convenient to use and thereby marketable.”

Sliced, diced, whole peeled and French fry cut potatoes can be dipped in our PS-10, 12 or 13 inhibiting the discoloration after processing. The same goes for turnips, parsnips and beets.

The extra shelf life the NatureSeal products provide can give you the time you need to transport these processed products and offer fresh-cut, value-added root vegetable options to supermarkets.

Whole white and yellow potatoes benefit from FS 3750D, keeping the skin of this inclusion to many roasted and boiled dishes looking brighter, more attractive and minimizing small blemishes. The shelf life of this whole, unpeeled root vegetable is also extended after a spray or dip in this wash.

Both conventional and organic products are available to help solve your fresh root vegetable challenges. This trial was used to verify the effectiveness of Natureseal™ PS10 when used on parsnips. Different concentrations of PS10 were tested with prepared samples, and the samples evaluated over four days.

The results suggest that treatment Natureseal™ PS10 solution at approximately 8 % w/w concentration is effective as way of extending the shelf life of peeled and cut parsnip pieces.

SR1 as alternative to the sodium metabisulfite in ready to use potatoes

The use of sodium metabisulfite to maintain the quality of peeled and fresh cut potatoes has the advantage of the economy but it use is increasingly questioned in certain markets. Current technology offers potential alternatives as are other types of preservatives and modified atmospheres. An essay evaluates Agricoat SR1 as dip solution, and Amcor plastic packaging with selective permeability.

This study suggests that King Edward not only have a longer shelf life than Maris piper when untreated, but they also respond better to the treatments. The trial indicates that a shelf life of P+7 for King Edward, and P+4 for Maris Piper can be achieved when using SR1 at 2.5 % with Amcor microperforated film.

The picture belongs to the discolouration assessments in King Edward.

Window Compact is a package intended for horizontal display at the point of sales. It is ideal for sizes from 0.3 to 1 Kg and especially suitable for small and mid size fruit.

It is a very compact package -hence its name- which optimizes package size according to the content.

To make this pack it is necessary to use a GirBagger UB-50, UB-60 or UB-65 equipped with an optional accessory for making the Window Compact.

It is also based on Ultrabag style but reducing the length of the package and using a film with window. The recommended window dimensions are 140x60 mm or 130x60 mm depending on the size of the bag.

Window Ultrabag, now allowing content visibility Window Ultrabag, by GIRO, is based on the well known Ultrabag system in which there has been a small but noticeable change: a window has been included in the film that allows content visibility through the mesh, giving a new look to the package.

Window Ultrabag is the only package in the world that allows to adapt the shape and position of a window according to the image or design printed on the film, offering an innovative and attractive alternative for packaging.

With this unique feature, the consumer can see the product through a cut in the bag with a shape that is integrated into its design.

GirBagger machines UB-50, UB-60 or UB-65 can produce Window Ultrabag packs without any optional accessory as it was an standard Ultrabag package, with the only difference of using a windowed Girfilm.

Giró can supply the W-Girfilm making the window position and shape according to the design.

The size and shape of the window may vary depending on the graphics of the film and the designer’s creativity. It can not exceed 60 mm wide and 125 mm length for a film UB or UP320 and 145 mm wide.
