POSTHARVEST DIRECTORY 2017
Postharvest Directory The need for innovation is a constant in any business activity, but it is particularly prominent in the field of fresh, semi-processed or processed food that must meet the demands of consumers who have an abundant supply of food – usually, not correctly distributed when thinking in a global level - and that, with or without crisis, there is a lack of willingness to go back on their demands for quality, ease of use, hygiene, food safety, respect for the environment, respect for human rights‌ This creates the exciting challenge for those companies supplying a constant R & D & I that meet these demands. As with biological evolution, the improvements occur step by step, in contributions that are rarely extraordinary, but that gradually respond to these demands. The Postharvest Directory is one of the "showcases" associated with the Postharvest, http://www.postharvest.biz, web portal which, year to year since 1998, it gathers the innovations of the companies that participate in Postharvest.biz, and also of those companies that do not take part in the portal but want to be present in a document that synthesizes the technology of conservation of fruits and vegetables. The ordering of companies in Postharvest Directory is alphabetical, with table contents located on the next pages, alphabetical and by topic. We emphasize the growing importance of information in plant material; the demand for varieties with more attractive organoleptic characteristics and proper conservation to the different ways of commercialization, makes this type of search one of the most frequents. Cooling technology does not escape of the need for versatile equipment in its utilities; vacuum pre-cooling shows a range of equipment from one pallet ... to many. The same happens with the offer for ripening, a practice that extends to other species aside from the classic banana, seeking to meet consumer demands for consuming a mature product (something in which it is important to keep in mind that also influences the suitable moment for collection). It also highlights the information in "green" technologies such as phytosanitary, coatings and strategies of use that reward the less aggressive in terms of chemistry and environment. Prolonged preservation techniques have been adapted to the ban on the use of classical antiscald products in Europe, which has been a technological challenge, with continuous work looking for more accuracy in what with the detection of the vitality of stored fruits has to do. The precision in the detection of the quality in store is the basis for continuous improvements, either for the visible as the invisible quality, and the use of the enormous amount of data that generates the demands of traceability and others; taking advantage of the "big data" is something that many companies already do very well. Accuracy in the cate-

An overview to innovation by companies gories of quality, weight, waste in industrial processes, ... sum huge amounts of money and for this, appropriate tools and technologies are required. Packaging is the culmination of the selection process which allows to protect the product, to prolong its conservation and in many and desirable cases to identify the producer that with so much care and technology offers its products to the market. The improvements in machinery that reduce processes costs and allow the access to modern packaging to companies across the range of sizes, are continuous. The equipment for "beginners" are currently an offer of the leading technology providers, both in packaging and warehouse machinery, as well as machinery for minimally processed or processed. There are many producers who want to make the leap to offer a product with added value and the initiation equipment are the ones that allow to take this step. Fairs are the forums in which these technologies are presented personally. The Postharvest Directory has information about the main equipment, as well as on quality control and assurance services recognized in the main consumer markets.
Follow us The Postharvest Directory complements its offer of information to be up-to-date on quality fruit, vegetables and ornamentals which is daily published on the Postharvest portal and weekly every Monday at Postharvest News. We do also have information in Spanish, through Directorio Poscosecha, Poscosecha web portal and Poscosecha News (Tuesdays and Fridays). Through the social networks; Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, the information is reported immediately and accurately. The publications called Actual and Info have "vertical" information (by species), not only about postharvest, but also about field and greenhouse technology. Currently we have the Info Root Vegetables which is written in English. Like Postharvest Directory and Directorio Poscosecha, they are documents in pdf format, freely accessible online (in the mentioned web portals, in Horticulturablog, in our channel issuu.com/HorticulturaPoscosecha, in Biblioteca de Horticultura, our horticulture library). Biblioteca de Horticultura is constantly enriched with subjects treated in monographic form in the style of articles of access which are normally free, online. Papers are mostly in Spanish language, but not only. Alicia Namesny, info@poscosecha.com

Productos Citrosol At CITROSOL, for over 50 years we have devoted ourselves to research and to development, introduction and commercialisation of post-harvest technology and treatments to maintain the commercial quality of fresh fruit and vegetables. We ensure that fresh fruit and vegetables reach the consumer without losses, with all their flavour, with maximum life, at the best moment for consumption. Our ADVANCED POST-HARVEST SOLUTIONS are blazing the trail for post-harvest technologies and treatments: CITROSOL A S UE wax for citrus products, with its low drying temperature, which achieves considerable energy savings and a remarkable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, the ZERO SPILL SYSTEM®, which maintains initial treatment effectiveness without generating fungicide suspension residues, the Fortisol Ca and Fortisol Ca PLUS plant strengtheners, hydrosoluble salts of Ca, P and Na that stimulate the natural defences of the product, helping to control post-harvest decay and rind breakdown, and the combination of X3 NEBULIZER + GLOCUAT PC or QUACIDE PQ60 EC, a simple but innovative technology for disinfecting packinghouses. We are currently working on the control of post-harvest diseases in other fruits and vegetables, including peppers and tomatoes. We will soon be marketing an integrated system for washing peppers that ensures the food safety of the product, controls decay in all varieties of peppers and achieves a considerable reduction in water consumption. Citrosol has treated over 200 million tons of fruit (citrus, pears, apples, bananas, etc.), and this has enabled us to offer the best solutions to thousands of customers all over the world and to design new developments in more effective and more efficient postharvest systems. We have a multidisciplinary team specialising in postharvest technology and biology, electromechanics and engineering, quality control, chemistry and microbiology, working in a matrix organization system, constantly alert to detect and satisfy the needs of our customers and society in our area of activity.

Productos Citrosol X3 NEBULIZER + GLOCUAT PC
Effective disinfecting has never been so easy and cheap as nowadays
The winning combination that CITROSOL has developed: the X3 Nebulizer mobile unit together with Glocuat PC, a “ready to use” biocidal disinfectant. The nebulizer mist behaves like a gas that can reach any area or surface in the packinghouse, and on contact with walls or objects it becomes a liquid with practically total fungicidal/bactericidal effectiveness. The mobile unit allows the introduction of sequential C+D (cleaning+disinfection) programs in all rooms and areas in the packinghouse, with very low structural costs.
greenhouse gases (CO2, CO, etc. ) during this process is, as a consequence, also lower.
DRENCH ON LINE
A new system for on-line application of fungicides which reduces treatment variability by keeping the concentration of fungicide constant
CITROSOL A S UE
CITROSOL has developed a complete line of citrus covering waxes that is also effective at much lower drying temperatures This low drying temperature wax allows energy savings of 60-70% compared to traditional waxes. The amount of energy needed for drying the wax is therefore reduced. Emission of
This fungicide application system is very superior to other systems presently used in pre-grading – both pools and on-line systems. It reduces treatment variability and keeps constant fungicide concentration. Besides, consumption of those agrochemicals is sharply reduced. It includes our technology ZERO SPILLAGE SYSTEM®.

FUMISPORE®
Excellent efficiencies in environmental Citrosol has developed FORTISOL® Ca Plus water-soluble salts of Ca, K and P that produce greater stimulation of the fruit’s natural defences against active pathogens in postharvest treatment of citrus. Fortisol® Ca has proven effectiveness in reduction and control of postharvest discolouration and in decay control. Fortisol® Ca PLUS has an enhanced efficiency in decay control. Both phytofortifiers are effective in controlling postharvest decay and rind breakdown.
disinfection and surface disinfection of cold stores
CITROSOL ZERO SPILLAGE SYSTEM®
Is the first industrial system that has a maximal efficiency and homogenity in controlling rot and decay It keeps the fungicide mixture in the drencher and deposit unchanged, allowing its continuous recycling and obtaining a constant efficiency in the treatment. At the same time, the need to treat surplus mixes is avoided, because their composition remains unchanged. The mixes can be recycled and used again during the whole citrus harvesting season.
FUMISPORE® has excellent efficiencies in environmental disinfection and surface disinfection of cold stores and several items of packinghouses, including machinery, as it is not corrosive or toxic, neither for humans or the environment (the security time is 4 hours). The combination active substance + ignition system can achieve high biocide efficiencies in any area due the high diffusion of the produced gas. Its efficacy in disinfecting field boxes and bins is also particularly high and relevant.

DECCO AEROSOL PLUS is an innovative system of disinfection by cold fumigation using a full-discharge aerosol. This aerosol pot is fitted with a valve that is pressed until trapped, staying then opened until all the content in the pot is released and diffused into the air. Full-discharge pots Decco Aerosol Plus contain E-202 preservative. This food additive is effective against fungi, bacteria and yeasts. It is used in food industry as a preservative in refrigerated dough, pasta, prepizza, frozen pizza, beverages, tomato sauce, margarine, cheese, stuffing, yogurt, nuts, ice creams, sausages, etc, and it is authorized for fresh citrus treatment. Consequently, Decco Aerosol Plus can be used in empty rooms in any type of food and/or agriculture industry.
Decco Aerosol Plus full-discharge system is comfortable and safe for the user. It does not require any application equipment nor represents any risk for the facilities, since there is no combustion. Pots can be applied in any closed environment or room
such as cold rooms, chambers, manipulation rooms, cooled trucks, etc. Using preservative E-202 does not trigger the appearance of resistant strains of microbial flora; therefore, pots can be periodically used. Its frequent use allows reducing or maintaining low contamination levels, (avoiding fruit inoculation during fruit and vegetable postharvest period), as well as avoiding food contamination in food industry. Industrial applications in cold rooms or trailers showed a reduction of ambient contamination between 70-80%. Having in mind that this is a food preservative with the mentioned advantages, we can consider Decco Aerosol Plus as a powerful tool to be used in food industry at a low cost. MELANITE

CITROGÁS-CONTROL
Allows automatic control of working / environmental conditions in rooms for cold storage and degreening/ripening of fruit PRODUCTOS CITROSOL, S.A. Partida Alameda, parcela C 46721 POTRÍES (Valencia) - SPAIN Ph. +34-962 800 512 Fax +34-962 800 821 citrosol@citrosol.com www.citrosol.com At CITROSOL, for over 50 years we have devoted ourselves to research and to development, introduction and commercialisation of postharvest technology and treatments to maintain the commercial quality of fresh fruit and vegetables.
It is a system for control and regulation of cold storage and degreening rooms. Electronic sensors that measure humidity, temperature and infrared CO2 sensors are used for automatic management of fruit storage and degreening/ripening rooms. Chambers equipped with CITROGAS-CONTROL achieve a more precise control of temperature and relative humidity. Besides, measurement and control of CO2 levels allows for optimal ventilation, reducing the operating time of the humidity, warming and refrigeration systems and thus achieving important energy savings.
We ensure that fresh fruit and vegetables reach the consumer without losses, with all their flavour, with maximum life, at the best moment for consumption. Service managers in charge: Valencia (Spain): Javier Monzonís, jvmonzonis@citrosol.com Castellón (Spain): Cristian Ortells, cristian@citrosol.com Murcia (Spain): Raúl Ortiz, raulortiz@citrosol.com Málaga (Spain): Francisco Palomo, malaga@citrosol.com Sevilla (Spain): Antonio Herrera, antonioherrera@citrosol.com Internacional: Julio Marín, juliom@citrosol.com
In those degreening/ripening processes, the equipment also regulates automatically ethylene levels, adjusting its consumption and keeping the right concentration to make the process develop correctly. This leads to better degreening or ripening and longer shelf life, without decreases in the organoleptic traits, weight or skin appearance of the fruit. This system permits connection to a PC on which all the relevant parameters of its functioning are recorded.

Furthermore, ISOLCELL supplies complete solutions for the realization of controlled atmosphere normal refrigerated and low temperature rooms, including sandwich panels, gastight doors, impermeabilization and cooling plant. DCA, an exclusive Isolcell product
Scald control without postharvest chemical treatments
In the industry sector of the storage of apples and pears, a new technology called “DCA-CF Conservation” (Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere with the use of chlorophyll sensors) is being increasingly used.
The system, patented by the Government of Canada and developed by Dr. Angelo Zanella, is distributed throughout Europe exclusively by ISOLCELL SpA. This method replaces the static conservation parameters with dynamic ones resulting from the response given by the fruit itself. It uses a special sensor that measures the fluorescence emitted by apples and pears, thereby identifying the minimum threshold of oxygen tolerated by the fruit. The AC conservation takes place at a value slightly above that threshold, dynamically adjusted throughout the storage period. By lowering the level of oxygen in the storage chambers, internal metabolic activity is drastically reduced, which results in a better maintenance of internal and external characteristics defining product quality. Using this technology, ISOLCELL meets the growing consumer´s demand requiring produce free of chemical residues. Another advantage of DCA is the drastic reduction of internal browning in varieties like Granny, Braeburn, Pink Lady and Fuji. And also the exclusion of drencher as post-harvest treatment to apply antioxidants, significantly reduces the percentage of rotten fruits in storage. Due to this experience and to the close cooperation between research institutes, technology companies and customers, ISOLCELL has demonstrated once again to be at the forefront of fruit storage technology. This new storage technology is used with commercial purposes since 2003 and its use is extending rapidly overseas. The graph shows the development of DCA cameras in the last 7 years in Italy (blue), other countries (gray) and the sum of both values(green)...

The vacuum precooling brings the product to the optimum storage temperature in less than half an hour. Cooling speed is very important today, due to the commercial dissemination of fresh cut presentation for fruit and vegetables and increasing demand for fresh produce throughout the year. This implies production of the same vegetable species in different climates according to season and also to displace the location of produce handling facilities. The shelf life of the product becomes an essential aspect for companies engaged in international trade of horticultural products. The faster a low temperature is achieved, longer is the average shelf life of the produce.
The largest vacuum precooling facility in Europe
Vacuum Cooling Vacuum pre-cooling is the most effective way to cool leafy vegetables such as lettuce Iceberg, Romaine, Batavia, Trocadero, chicory, cabbage, endive, or spinach. It also cools mushrooms, flowers, strawberries, etc. Cooling time is less than 25 minutes; equipment with capacity ranging from one to thirty pallets is available, also with vacuum coolers with capacities between 7-150 m3 .
Moelco, as a specialist in vacuum precoolers, has build the largest facility of this kind in Europe for Urcisol Group, located in Murcia, Spain. With a turnover capacity of 60 pallets/hour, the facility processes and trades 800.000 lettuce units a day, keeping the highest quality for each one unit.
