40-60% of Fruit & Vegetables
Produced Worldwide are Lost or Wasted
Causing Significant Economic Damage

It Is True That Packaging Is Helpful
But at What Cost?
Plastic Is Increasingly Found Everywhere
From Our Oceans to the Food We Eat
HOW DOES SUFRESCA HELP?
Sufresca develops innovative edible coatings that dramatically extend shelf life and reduce weight loss of fresh produce under changing conditions, while keeping them fresh from field to fork as if just harvested.
Sufresca specializes in those commodities that are challenging to coat or for which exists no solution. Our formulations are optimal to various straightforward application techniques and seamless integration within any production operations, big as small.
Our goal is to overcome technological and commercial barriers that hinder performance and implementation of edible coatings to all fresh produce around the world.

FRESH FRUIT & VEGETABLES
INNOVATIVE “BREATHABLE” COATING
MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE
Effectively attached to the fruit surface, of which partial sealing is achieved, while still allowing optimal gas exchange that prevents anaerobic fermentation and generation of off-flavors over time
Our coating mimics the structure of the natural cuticle – we call it “Chaotic Structure”.
BEAUTIFUL, FIRM & FLAVOURFUL
Transparent, few microns thick, tasteless, odorless and virtually undetectable by sensory evaluation

FIRST & UNIQUE FILM
INDIVIDUAL PACKAGE
Thin and transparent extra layer of edible film that envelops the bulb and mimics its natural look. Provides attractive and glossy bulbs that do not split apart
LONGER STORAGE LIFE
Individual modified atmosphere that slows down biomechanical process and reduces weight loss. The film also decreases mechanical damage and pests-related damages over months of storage, since it provides an extra layer of physical defense
GREATER CROP YIELD
Cloves stored with Sufresca produce a greater output by 30% when planted

FIRST & UNIQUE SELECTIVE COATING
NOVEL WAY TO PRESERVE READY-TO-EAT FRESH FRUIT AND BERRY SNACKS
It is a straightforward method to create selective protective coating to treat only openings or “injured” areas on the surface of arils and berries. The formed coating is thin, transparent and essentially undetectable by our senses. It preserves product quality for longer and decreases serving decay caused by fluid exudation during storage
