KIF Papers & Chips

Description

Fresh Vegetables. Fruits & Rowers start to ripen after harvesting and during the ripening process release ethylene gas and water vapour. This ethylene gas when in the package increases the ripening rate of the fresh produce hence aggravating the ripening process resulting into faster rotting of the fresh produce. The ethylene gas and water vapour produced work as catalyst to the ripening process which in turn causes faster spoilage and microbial damage.

Keep It fresh Papers forms a breathable membrane the moment it comes in contact with fresh fruits and vegetables. These can be easily placed with the fresh produce and absorb the ethylene gas which gets entrapped within these papers. The absorption of the gas reduces the ripening speed and hence increasing the shelf life of fresh produce. KIF papers are available in different sizes from according to customer & volumetric requirements.

Slowdowns the deterioration rate.

Applications

Absorption of Ethylene – The ethylene produced by the fresh produce is absorbed by the special minerals in the sachet that selectively absorb ethylene molecules.
Oxidation of Ethylene – The Ethylene is attracted towards the media in the sachet and gets oxidized to water and carbon dioxide.
Absorption of moisture – The excessive moisture produced within the package is also absorbed which in turn inhibits microbial growth within the package.
VBI – The option of having a Natural Vaporising Bio Inhibitor is available with these sachets. The active ingredient is a natural plant extract, which has the capability to inhibit microbial growth in its presence.
