Delayed Aging Technology
As produce ages, it begins releasing a natural gas called ethylene. And when crops absorb ethylene, their rate of decay is expedited. 1-MCP is an active ingredient that can be used to reduce ethylene's production and absorption, slowing down the aging process.
Breathable Packaging
Allow your produce to breathe easier with packaging that helps balance the oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere around your fruit and vegetables. When these compounds are properly balanced, your produce stays fresher and more resilient against unexpected temperature changes.
Anti-fungal Technology
For some produce, like grapes and berries, fungus spores are the leading cause of decay and spoiling. Using an anti-fungal pad can extend the shelf life and quality of your crops.
Anti-sprouting Technology
For root vegetables - like potatoes - sprouting is often the first sign of spoiling. But you can slow down sprouting to keep your veggies fresh longer.
How It Works
1-MCP Powder
Hazel CA contains 1-MCP, which blocks ethylene receptors on the surface of your produce, to keep it fresh during storage.
Easy-to-use applicator
The application device passes air through the Hazel CA powder to release the 1-MCP throughout the storage room. No water required.
