Xtend® - Fresh Produce Packaging

Extend your fresh produce shelf life with Xtend® modified atmosphere / modified humidity packaging (MAP)

Xtend® MA/MH (modified atmosphere/modified humidity) packaging ensures prolonged storage and shelf life for fresh produce through a combined effect of modified atmosphere (↓O2 ↑CO2), modified humidity (↑relative humidity) and condensation control (release of excess moisture). Xtend® polymers are engineered so that the produce inside the bag equilibrates within the specific range of O2 and CO2 concentrations as required by that specific fruit/vegetable/herb. Xtend® packaging slows senescence (aging process), maintains the nutritional value and flavor of produce, and inhibits the growth of pathogens, reducing decay.

In addition to providing the optimal modified atmosphere as the produce transpires, the relative humidity in Xtend® packaging increases reducing dehydration and weight loss, which in turn preserves the firmness of the produce and prevents shriveling. Xtend® packaging also eliminates excess moisture, thereby maintaining produce appearance and inhibiting physiological disorders.
