SmartFreshTM, a new product, developed by the AgroFresh Company and extensively tested by AFSG, inhibits the effects of ethylene and consequently delays fruit ripening. Surprising results emerged from our tests with SmartFreshTM; a single post-harvest application on apples-p1.html" target='_blank'>Apples was sufficient to maintain fruit firmness for several months.The product clearly has a beneficial effect on apple quality. The fruit remains firm even during the shelf-life, which leads to more marketing possibilities.During the development of such a new technology, AFSG integrates its knowledge about products with its extensive knowledge of practice. Moreover, when conducting the research, we can use unique facilities like the 'flow-through' system. This system allows us to maintain the oxygen, carbon dioxide and ethylene levels at any desired level. We are using this system to precisely map out the response of horticultural products to mixtures of these gases.More information?
