Church Brothers Farms employs PerfoTec’s Fast Respiration Meter daily to determine the respiration rate of different fresh-cut vegetables and salads to adjust packaging parameters to seasonal and regional variations in the physiology of fresh produce to maximize its postharvest life. This has improved the organoleptic quality and shelf life of our fresh-cut produce and expedited our new product development process. Currently, we are conducting trials with PerfoTec’s new bio-based liner bag for shelf life extension and waste reduction of fresh produce throughout our supply chain. Over the 10+ years, I have worked with PerfoTec, the company continuously innovated in the space of the fresh-cut industry to improve freshness, reduce waste and increase sustainability.
