AgroFresh Reveals Three Latest Apple Portfolio Additions; Sarah Enescu and Matt Miles Comment
PHILADELPHIA, PA - Not long ago, we announced that AgroFresh was hosting a virtual webinar to discuss the latest expansions to its Apple Complete portfolio. Now, the global agtech innovator has unveiled the trio of additions, revealing OMRI-certified CeraFruta® and Teycer™ Originals Prime Elite now join Textar™ DPA as the latest products in its extensive lineup of post-harvest apple solutions.
“At AgroFresh, our team of innovators is always working to develop new solutions to improve the produce system and reduce food loss,” said Sarah Enescu, Commercial Business Director North America at AgroFresh. “We’ve been supporting the apple industry for more than 20 years with innovative and revolutionary solutions, starting with our SmartFresh (1-MCP) technology. Today, our Apple Complete portfolio supports the apple industry from end to end with unparalleled customer support to make our industry both more sustainable and efficient.”
The newest additions to the Apple Complete portfolio include:
- CeraFruta, a bio-fungicide approved for organic use, which has proven efficacy against a broad spectrum of post-harvest fruit decays thanks to its unique, patented formulation of Natamycin, a naturally occurring molecule derived from soil bacteria with a unique mode of action
- Teycer Originals Prime Elite is a new apple coating approved for organic use that helps apples stay more firm, smooth and shiny compared to conventional coatings; the coating integrity remains smooth, without significant whitening, contact-point issues, or notable loss of gloss regardless of dilution rate
- Textar DPA is a trusted scald and CO2 injury inhibitor containing 40 percent Diphenylamine. Its versatile formulation can be used both for fogging and drenching, according to a press release
“Maximizing packouts for the growers and making sure we have a high-quality product for consumers is of highest importance,” added Matt Miles of Allan Brothers Fruit and guest on the recent AgroFresh Apple Complete webinar. “Using tools in the industry, we can get the right product to the consumer at the right time, ensuring the best quality, taste, and texture, providing value to the end customer—retailer or consumer.”
