As a specialist in antioxidants in the fresh-cut sector, we develop preservation solutions that significantly improve the quality and shelf life of cut fruits. The browning (oxidation) of freshly cut fruits and vegetables is specifically prevented using powdered formulations. In recent months, the company has observed a particularly high number of inquiries for fresh-cut salads.

​​

"The focus is on iceberg and romaine lettuce, which pose a challenge in terms of freshness for many fresh-cut businesses," explains Benjamin Singh, Head of Technical Sales at FOOD freshly. "For these varieties, oxidation manifests as an unsightly pink discoloration." Fresh-cut salads are therefore often packaged in a protective atmosphere or vacuum to prevent oxidation. For some varieties, however, this is not always successful, and many companies desire additional protection to avoid quality losses and complaints. We offer this security even without a protective atmosphere," explains Singh.

Brief immersion in the Food Freshly preservation solution prevents discoloration of fresh-cut salads for up to 8 days. Salad processors do not need any special packaging for this. The solutions are tasteless and many times more effective than simple fruit acids.

Food Freshly completely avoids preservatives and problematic allergens such as sulfite (SO2). In addition, many solutions are approved for use in the organic sector. In addition to salads, antioxidants are also offered for sliced apples, avocados, root vegetables, and many other varieties.
