TECTROLŠ Lime Facts

 

Services:

TECTROLŠ Atmospheres Maintain Quality and Freshness
The rate of respiration is reduced in Controlled Atmosphere, which:

  • TECTROLŠ Controlled Atmosphere dramatically reduces the loss of green color on fruit skin. Incidence of decay and oleocelosos is reduced.
  • Firmness retention is retained above normal refrigeration.
  • Fruit has less weight loss, providing a fresher appearance.
  • Higher maturities can be shipped, allowing more fruit volume available at origin, and higher juice content in fruit at destination.

Profits are Maximized at Distribution and Retail

  • Less shrink means more marketable fruit, and increased profits.
  • TECTROLŠ Controlled Atmosphere lime quality is comparable to air freight arrivals.

Product Shelf Life is Improved

  • Better arrival quality extends marketability by several days.
  • Rind color is retained 30-50% longer then under refrigeration alone.
