AKORN NATURAL™ COATINGS FOR CITRUS
Akorn Natural™ coatings are the first true innovation in coatings for citrus in decades. They are developed specifically for packers who want to extend the time from harvest to consumption without compromise to the quality of their produce, and are effective for all citrus varieties.
100% NATURAL FOOD INGREDIENTS
Akorn Natural™ coatings are made with 100% natural food ingredients to meet growing preferences of consumers and retailers. They do not contain any corrosive chemicals or petroleum products and are suitable for all export markets. The highly innovative formulations include three active ingredients:
- a plant-derived wax to minimize moisture loss and reduce shriveling
- a vegetable protein to provide superior adhesion even on wet fruit and eliminate whitening
- a vegetable oil for natural appearance with modest gloss
HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
Citrus coated with Akorn Natural™ coatings exhibit 40% lower weight loss, less shriveling, reduced risk of chilling injury, and maintain high pulp quality validated by commercial results and independent university studies.
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.
