Brussels Sprouts Packaging

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

Brussels sprouts are highly perishable vegetables that face significant postharvest challenges. Their delicate structure, high respiration rate, and susceptibility to moisture loss make them prone to rapid quality deterioration. Common issues include trim browning, yellowing of outer leaves, wilting, microbial decay, and loss of characteristic firmness and sweet flavor. Brussels sprouts packaging needs to 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 Brussels sprouts packaging formats to meet the needs of different markets and customers, including Xflow™ — a patented bulk flow-pack solution — Xtend® preformed bulk packaging, and Xgo™ retail packaging. All these solutions enhance consumer experience by preserving quality and broadening the window for consumption.
