100% NATURAL FOOD INGREDIENTS

- a plant-derived wax to minimize moisture loss
- a vegetable protein to reduce oxygen exchange, delay color development and reduce superficial mold growth
- a vegetable oil to maintain a natural, fresh appearance
- a proprietary polysaccharide combination to ensure uniform coverage, even on the crown and stem
PLUG-AND-PLAY
Akorn Natural™ coatings are water-based and can be applied on wet fruit. They can be applied either by dipping, flooding or spraying. They dry rapidly, leave no sticky residues and can be easily cleaned up with water.
