When we talk about the fresh fruit and vegetable packaging, oxygen needs to be maintained to keep them in aerobic conditions. During transpiration, humidity gets released and condenses inside the bag, often causing fungal and bacterial infections. In order to prevent this from occurring and offer longer shelf life to produce products, Uflex developed its Flexfresh Equilibrium Modified Atmospheric Packaging (EMAP).
It helps maintain the humidity inside the bag at 98 percent, thereby keeping the product dry without allowing condensation of the humidity.This results in very low weight loss of the produce as it continues to breathe in hydrated oxygen available inside the bag. The film provides good release characteristics of CO2 emitted by the produce.
The Flexfresh film helps prevent the likes of mold growth and disease. Another big benefit is that it’s biodegradable by composting – and it complies with all international regulations.
