Behind the Greens: TransFresh Proprietary Tectrol® Atmosphere Pallet Process
Rich Macleod, Vice President Pallet Division at TransFresh, and Dr. Jeff Brecht, Postharvest Physiologist at the University of Florida, join AndNowUKnow to discuss some of the food safety innovations at the university. TransFresh's proprietary Tectrol® Atmosphere pallet process reduces shrink while providing the latest in post harvest technology innovations as well.
UC Davis and the University of Florida, under the Specialty Crops Initiative, were able to do a number of side by side trials with strawberries and pallet covers to evaluate how well modified atmosphere packaging works. Researchers discovered that modified atmosphere packaging reduced decay after several days. TransFresh used that research to develop its Tectrol Calculator, which takes results from the studies and applies it in an economic model that makes sense to a retailer.
