FreshTrap: 1-MCP sachets made in Thailand
Holds back the ripening signal
Ethylene is the plant hormone that tells produce to ripen and flowers to wilt. Moistened, the sachet releases a tiny dose of 1-MCP gas that occupies the ethylene receptors, so the ripening signal is held back.
Made and checked in Thailand
Synthesised in Thailand. Every production batch is confirmed by NMR and measured by GC; a certificate of analysis (CoA) is available on request.
