NatureSeal, Inc.
NatureSeal is a patented blend of GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) vitamins and minerals that extend the shelf life of fresh-cut produce up to 21 days. By inhibiting respiration and the oxidation process, fresh-cut produce can last longer on the shelf.
NatureSeal protects the natural flavor, texture and color.
The NatureSeal line of products include a wide variety of fresh-cut fruit and vegetables.
Microbial growth is a function of the overall sanitary conditions of the processing plant and the microbial load of the whole fruit or vegetable. Most NatureSeal products do not control microbial growth. Testing shows that a slowing of the microbial growth is somewhat achieved but not significant.
You have a wide choice of packaging, which most are acceptable when using NatureSeal. Work with NatureSeal technical staff in choosing a viable package for your cut produce.
The cut produce is typically dipped in a NatureSeal solution. Delicate fruit such as avocados can be treated using a spray method, as to avoid damage or bruising. In addition, in certain applications NatureSeal can be used as a dry ingredient (i.e. guacamole, pesto, etc.)
No, NatureSeal does not impart any aftertaste. We have received gold medals from The American Masters of Taste acknowledging that we offer a high quality product that solves the oxidation issues with sliced produce, while not altering the flavor profile.
NatureSeal is available in a dry, powered form. When properly stored away from excess light or moisture, NatureSeal will last 1-3 years, depending on the specific product.
Quantities of NatureSeal vary depending upon the size of your tank and the type of produce treated. We can develop specific protocols based on your requirements.
