Cucumber Preservation

IMAP CRYSTAL CUCUMBER PACKS
  • With the IMAP Crystal solution development system focused on customer needs, IMAP Crystal series modified atmosphere packages have been developed to solve the problems encountered in cucumber exports.
  • Even without pre-cooling, cucumbers stored in IMAP Crystal packages can be kept in cold storage for 2 weeks in a very healthy way.
  • IMAP Crystal is a package developed to protect the harvested cucumbers during preparation and transportation to the market.
WHY DO YOU NEED IMAP CRYSTAL?

Cucumber exporters are often unable to pre-cool cucumbers due to market conditions. Cucumbers packaged without pre-cooling deteriorate until they reach the destination country. IMAP Crystal series has been developed to eliminate these problems.

WHAT DOES IMAP CRYSTAL BRING?
  • IMAP Crystal provides effective moisture control in packages even when you cannot pre-cool. Packages are visibly sweat-free after 48 hours.
  • Cucumbers stored in IMAP Crystal packages do not show any rotting problems.
  • Cucumbers stored in IMAP Crystal packs show no yellowing or signs of aging.
  • Weight loss is minimal for cucumbers stored in IMAP Crystal packs.
IMAP CRYSTAL MECHANISM OF ACTION

IMAP Crystal protects cucumber using 3 different mechanisms of action simultaneously.

  1. It prevents yellowing and aging of the product by balancing the oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the package at the appropriate value level.
  2. Optimizes the humidity in the package and prevents the product from rotting.
  3. With its antimicrobial properties, it protects the product by preventing microorganisms that cause decay.
