Fresh Vegetables, Fruits & Flowers post harvesting release ethylene gas and water vapour. The ethylene gas and water vapour produced work as a catalyst to the ripening process which in turn causes faster spoilage and microbial damage.
KIF sachets are the most effective way to inhibit weight loss, improve quality and shelf life. Sachets are filled with a special composition mixture of zeolite powder and potassium permanganate that causes ethylene & moisture absorption while simultaneously causing volatile bacterial inhibition (VBI).
Ethylene causes shattering, deterioration and ripening on the other hand excess moisture is likely to speed up decay and the development of mould and fungus either during the storage/transportation period or after removal from the packaging.
Keep It fresh Sachets can be easily placed with fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers. The sachets work in multiple ways to protect and extend shelf life of fresh produce.
Keep it fresh sachets contain ethylene absorbers in a breathable Tyvek & Dupont membrane that can work under high humidity conditions.
KIF Sachets are available in different gram sizes from 2, 5 and 10, gram according to customer & volumetric requirements.

Features :

• Absorption of Ethylene – Ethylene produced by fresh produce is absorbed by special minerals in the sachet that selectively absorb ethylene molecules.
• Oxidation of Ethylene – 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.

Applications :

• Fruit corrugated boxes (export standard)
• Vegetables corrugated boxes (export standard)
• Fruits and vegetable crates
• Fruits and vegetables bags
• Flower boxes and bag packing

Germination paper is a revolutionary product that allows the absorption of extra moisture and water that settles inside the box of produce. The paper has very high absorption capacity of up to 200% Water.
During the normal course of storage of fresh produce water is released from the fruits and vegetables. This water tends to settle at the bottom of the packaging and starts the growth of microbial‘s. To control any adverse effects of germs, fungus, dour or the new germination paper is effective to absorb extracts water and hence reduce the microbial growth in the packaging.
A lot of produce is packed and exported to various countries around the globe with Li times between 15 to 40 days. During this course of time they produce goes to various thermal shocks, natural respiration that releases the moisture in the packaging.
Excess water in the packaging leads to growth of fungus, microbes, bacteria is, mold and eventually leads to the deterioration of produce. This causes the produce to decay and be rendered useless for human consumption.
Keep it fresh germination paper is made from hundred percent recyclable paper that has stretch ability and very high puncture strength, elongation, absorption capacity. The paper can be recycled after usage and hence does not cause any harm to the environment and is recognized to be safe for contact with food and fresh produce.

KEEP-IT-FRESH films and bags contains Special properties of shelf life enhancement of fresh and vegetables from 40% to 400%. Fresh Vegetables and Fruits start to ripen after harvesting and during the ripening process, the fruits and vegetables release ethylene gas.
This ethylene gas 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 produced works as a auto catalyst for ripening which in turn produces higher sugar levels causing microbial spoilage of the fruits.
The plastic articles produced by using KEEP-IT-FRESH absorb the harmful ethylene gas Produced hence slowing the ripening and rotting process and increasing the shelf life of the Packed produce.
The film produces shows upto 5 times increases in the shelf life of bananas kept without packaging and improves the shelf life of tomatoes by upto 3 times.
Tests performed on various fresh fruits and vegetables shows that the produce kept in open started to rot in 3-5 days where as the ones in the KEEP-IT-FRESH bags were good even on the 10th - 15th day compared to the ones in generic plastic bag.

KIF Curtains are used primarily in reefer containers and cold storages to absorb ethylene. Long haulage and transportation can cause excessive accumulation of ethylene gas inside the container. This leads to alarmingly high acceleration of ripening and early decay of the produce.
Keep It fresh Curtains can be easily placed in cold storages, walking coolers, reefer vans and non reefer vans of fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers. The KIF Curtains work in multiple ways to protect and extend shelf life of fresh produce.
Keep it fresh curtain contain ethylene absorbers packed with nonwoven cloth which acts as breathable membrane. The absorption of the gas reduces the ripening speed and hence increasing the shelf life of fresh produce.

Features :

• Removes mould and fungal growth, decay, discoloration resulting in no wilting, softening, scald, loss of crunch, tenderness, weight loss etc.
• Use during postharvest handling of Berries and increases the shelf life of Berries during storage and transit at controlled temperature (Cold Store).
• Slowdowns the deterioration rate. Use during storage or domestic and international shipments like via air, sea, reefer vans, train trucks, moving coolers units, CA rooms and cold storage’s.
• Do not keep Berry Guard Sheet open. It gets activated from atmospheric moisture. Unused Berry Guard Sheet must be repacked in poly bags immediately.

Keep it fresh scrubbers will reduce ethylene levels up to 98.9 percent to reduce shrinkage and extend shelf life. The unit holds 50 kg of the Kif power Balls. The media can effectively lower ethylene gas readings in storage areas from 75, 000 to 150, 000 cubic feet, depending on the commodities being stored. In larger rooms more machines can be used. It can also be deployed to control moulds, bacteria and remove odours.
Each unit uses 50 kg of media. The machines are built to ensure proper air speed across the pellets. This ensures correct reaction time required to remove ethylene gas. The unit works in conjunction with your cooling system air movement.

Keep It fresh Paper can be easily placed with fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers in trays and boxes or can be used for wrapping. The sachets work in a multiple ways to protect and extend shelf life of fresh produce. KIF Solution is the most effectkre way to inhblt weight loss, quality and shelf life is to use KIF Shelf Life Extension Series Systems. Papers are coated with a special composition mixture of zeolite powder and potassium permanganate in a fixed certain percentage that causes ethylene & moisture absorption and simultaneously causing volatile bacterial inhibition Nag. Ethylene causes shattering, deterioration and ripening on the other hand excess moisture is likely to speed up decay and the development of mould and fungus either during the storage/transportation period or after removal from the packaging.
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 Grape Pads are used for the protection of table grapes during storage and shipping.
The pads have multiple layers with SO2 releasing chemicals in between. The grape pads poses unique fast and slow release mechanism.
We use micro-perforation to allow quick release of SO2 gas. The technology allows for water activation of the pads to quickly release SO2. Simply sprinkle water on the printed surface of the pad and the water or moisture can interact with the chemical inside for a faster and instant release of SO2 gas.
Post the quick release function KIF grape pads allow sustained release of sulfur dioxide from the sodium metabisulfite salt, contained between paper layers. Humidity inside the grape box reacts with this salt, thus generating sulfur dioxide (So2). The gas is then slowly released owing to the semi-permeable barrier, controlling the development and/or spreading of Botrytis cinerea, one of the main post-harvest diseases affecting table grapes.

Gray mold (Botrylis cinerea) is the most destructive of the postharvest diseases of strawberries, it is the greatest cause of postharvest strawberry losses. This fungus continues to grow even at 0°C (32°F), however growth is very slow by use of KIF Berry pads packed at this temperature.
Rhizopus Rot.Caused by the fungus Rhizopus stolonifer. Spores of this fungus are usually present in the air and are easily spread. This fungus will not grow by use of KIF Berry pads special antifungal phenomenon, when inserted at temperatures below 5°C (41 °F), therefore KM; Berry pads with recommended temperature management is the simplest method of control.
KIF Berry Guards/Pads are the most effective way to inhibit pathological disorders in berries.
