The postharvest loss of fresh fruits and vegetables are estimated to be around 20\u201330%. Given the perishable nature of fruits and vegetables, the use of cold storage is necessary to delay changes related to ripening, such as ethylene making, softening, pigment changes, respiration rate, acidity changes and a decrease in weight. However, cold storage is not enough to preserve fruits and vegetables quality at optimum levels during transportation, often leading to the incidence of severe chilling injury symptoms. Therefore the appropriate postharvest technologies combined with cold storage are needed.<\/p>\n<p>Edible coatings or films that is effective and sustainable in preventing the waste of millions of tons of fruits and vegetables resulting from decay and deterioration. Edible coatings have gained significant attention due to the advantageous properties they offer and their ability to extend fruit and vegetable shelf-life. These coatings are a novel type of primary packaging made from biological compounds like polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, and other polymers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Directions &#8211; Small Applications<\/strong><br \/>\nUsing potable water set water pH to 6 \u2013 6.5<br \/>\nDilute WAC 10 \u2013 1 part WAC 10 to 10 parts water.<br \/>\nDip the fruits \/ vegetables for 10 \u2013 15 seconds..<br \/>\nLeave to dry<\/p>\n<p><strong>Directions &#8211; Industrial Packaging<\/strong><br \/>\nUsing potable water set water pH to 6 \u2013 6.5<br \/>\nClean the application area thoroughly and fill with potable water.<br \/>\nEnsure the pH is set to 6.5<br \/>\nAdd WAC 10 to the water at a dilution of 1:10.<br \/>\nSet the WAC 10 micro processor to 200 ppm.<br \/>\nSet the acid micro processor to pH 6.5<br \/>\nRecycle the water for 5 minutes ensuring WAC 10 is thoroughly mixed through.<br \/>\nProceed with dumping the produce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A natural plant based, active ingredient with oxygen enhancing and water tension breaker properties.
