SmartFresh technology is a modern and responsible approach of preserving fruits after harvest. In the presence of the maturing hormone-ethylene, during the storage, the processes of ripening, aging and eventually decay continues in the apple. The action of the chemical compound 1-methylcyclopropene creates a physical barrier between the receptor of ethylene and the hormone itself. It prevents its binding and delays the physiological process of ripening. With this application we maintain high quality of the fruit during storage, transport, and through the consumer.
The company was founded in 2008, and we are producing apples. At first, we had an area of 19 hectares, and since two years ago we made another 15 hectares, so now, our apples are spreading on area of 34 hectares, with this year’s production of 1500 tones crops.
