Trials of an innovative Sirane wrapping with UK distributors have revealed double the shelf-life on produce including notoriously problematic brassicas.
In the trials cauliflower and broccoli – which following transportation had been deteriorating after just one day on the shelves – was still in good condition after five days when using Sira-Flex™ Resolve®, Sirane’s unique new film for packaging fresh produce.
The trials showed an additional two days shelf-life for cabbages, leeks and carrots.
Sandra Evans, sales manager for fruit and fresh produce, said: “The results are very encouraging. The recent poor weather has heaped yet more problems on the fruit and vegetable industry – with numerous reports of poor yields. Increasing the shelf-life of the produce that is available could significantly help the situation.”
