100% NATURAL FOOD INGREDIENTS​

Akorn Natural™ coatings are made with 100% natural food ingredients. They do not contain any corrosive chemicals or petroleum products. The highly innovative formulations include three active ingredients:

  • a plant-derived wax to minimize moisture loss
  • a vegetable protein to reduce ripening speed and maintain firmness
  • a vegetable oil to maintain a natural, moderate sheen appearance.

PLUG-AND-PLAY

Akorn Natural™ coatings are water-based and can be applied even on partially wet fruit. They can be applied either by spraying as a drop-in replacement for existing waxes or dipping. They dry rapidly through heated or non-heated tunnels. They leave no sticky residues and can be easily cleaned up with water.

HIGHLY EFFECTIVE

Pears coated with Akorn Natural™ coatings exhibit greater than 50% lower decay, 30% lower dehydration rate, 25% higher firmness, and more than 50% increase in shelf life based on commercial results and independent university research.
