One of the main aloe based solutions offered into our Post Harvest portfolio is the AloeCoat Product Line.
The AloeCoat product line includes different plant based post harvest solutions for fruits and vegetables. AloeCoat is a 100% natural, plant based edible coating for use in fruits and vegetables. AloeCoat is made from purified extracts of aloe compounds, creating a biofilm on fresh produce, reducing respiration and perspiration, protecting from fungi and bacteria and thus extending shelf life of the products.
According to FAO data, a third of the food produced globally -measured in total weight- was lost or wasted. In fresh produce, the worldwide waste is calculated at 28% of total production. Our AloeCoat solution helps to minimize fruit & vegetable waste, thus contributing to avoid GHG emissions.
