Green Asparagus Packaging

Advanced Modified Atmosphere/Modified Humidity Packaging Solutions for Shelf-Life Extension

Green asparagus is highly perishable due to its high respiration rate. Challenges associated with extending shelf-life and reducing waste of green asparagus include reducing weight loss and dehydration, preserving crispness and vibrant green color, reducing lignification and feathering and preventing microbial decay, in particular of the tips which are the most vulnerable part of the plant. Effective asparagus packaging must address these challenges.

StePacPPC modified atmosphere/modified humidity packaging solutions preserve fresh quality by naturally creating an environment inside the closed packaging that slows respiration, inhibits ethylene and suppresses microbial decay. High-water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) films are available to help release excess moisture which also assists in reducing the risk of microbial decay.

We have developed a broad range of packaging formats to meet the needs of different markets and customers. Xtend® preformed bulk packaging solutions help maintain postharvest quality and minimize supply chain waste during prolonged storage and shipment. Xgo™ retail packaging solutions enhance consumer experience by preserving quality and broadening the window for consumption.
