Sirane Life+ packaging system to extend shelf life for fruit

Tuesday, 18 July, 2017 | Supplied by: Sirane Ltd


Life+ from Sirane offers shelf-life extension for fruit by combining various elements into one complete packaging solution, including an anti-mist punnet tray, packaging films and absorbent technology. Absorbency options include antibacterial and ethylene absorbency, both of which can have a positive impact on the shelf life of soft and delicate fruits.

Portions of cut fruit — apples, pineapples, kiwi and melon — have been found to receive an additional two to four days of shelf life using Life+ when compared with standard trays and films, according to Sirane. Life+ creates a micro-atmosphere in the pack that regulates the respiration rates of the fruits, which helps maintain texture. The product also reduces drip and subsequent microbial contamination, as well as helping the fruit maintain a higher vitamin C content.

With grapes, the system prevents wilting and delays fungal growth while maintaining flavour. With mushrooms, it has been shown to maintain whiteness and prevent discolouration. With berries, it has been show to slow down ripening, delay the detachment of berries from their stalks and help delay fungal growth on the surface of the fruit.
