Stone Fruit – 65% Longer Shelf Life
Proven to Keep Peaches Fresher, Longer
Stone fruits like peaches and nectarines are highly perishable, making shelf-life extension critical for exporters and retailers. Akorn Technology partnered with Colorado State University and a local stone fruit grower to evaluate and compare our all-natural fruit coating to the industry standard mineral oil coating on Suncrest peaches.
The results were conclusive: Akorn Natural™ coatings lasted 65% longer than those treated with traditional petroleum-derived coatings. This means fewer losses, greater flexibility in shipping, and higher-quality fruit at retail. Our coatings provide superior moisture retention, slowing down ripening while maintaining the fruit’s natural firmness and color, giving packers a powerful edge in the market.
