Mandarin and Citrus Bags

Citrus respires slowly but is sensitive to humidity. Too dry and the rind shrivels; too wet and mold spreads fruit to fruit inside the bag. Mandarins are the most exposed because of their thin peel.

StayFresh film is calibrated to this crop's respiration rate. It lets in just enough oxygen, lets CO2 and ethylene out, and holds humidity where the produce needs it. Packers see 30 to 40% longer shelf life in the cold chain, measured on their own line during the two-week test.
