AMBROSIA
Ambrosia extends the life of fruits and vegetables with a coating made from natural materials that controls respiration and moisture losses of fruit and vegetables, protecting them from the environment. These properties allow companies to reduce or eliminate the use of fungicides and other preservative coatings used in modern products today
Ambrosia:
– Increasing quality and shelf-life for retailers
– Reducing transportation, moisture losses and chemical usage for packhouses
– Significantly reducing waste from harvest to retail
– Increasing customer revenue and consumer satisfaction
WHY AMBROSIA?
(Hover your mouse over to find out the answer)
Compostable & Biodegradable
Ambrosia is made from plants, using cellulose, palm, sucrose esters. Raw materials that are natural and good for the environment – They will biodegrade with your peel when you put into your compost
No Plastic!
Plastic reduction and still can ship fresh bananas? It is possible now due to Ambrosia. Ambrosia locks in the moisture while protecting the peel and pulp from damage due to slowed respiration. This allows a company to choose if they wish to utilize plastic in their boxes when packing the bananas
No More Waste!
It is well known that bananas ripen very quickly, anywhere from 2 to 4 days. Then it’s either time to make banana bread or toss them in the garbage. With Ambrosia, you get twice the yellow life. Plenty of time to sell the bananas and plenty of time to enjoy them at home
Cost savings from Ambrosia comes from removing chemicals, simplifying spray application, stopping the need for hazardous waste collection and disposal, and of course plastic reduction. The minimization of moisture losses allows packhouses to pack fewer bananas in a standard box, yet still meet the import weight requirements.
Sustainability Targets?
Ambrosia creates multiple areas for you to improve or help meet your sustainability targets:
– Reduction or elimination of chemicals in process – Elimination of plastic in process – Reduction of shipping weight and fuel savings
These items make substantial changes to your carbon footprint across your entire value chain!
