PEAKfresh is modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) made specifically for fruit and vegetables as well
as cut flowers and plants.
With a natural mineral embedded in our products, we are able to modify the
composition of the air surrounding the packaged item in order to extend the initial fresh state of the
product. PEAKfresh has long been used by growers, shippers and retail chains to preserve the
freshness of produce during transit and storage. Most recently, NASA began using PEAKfresh to

BROCCOLI
It has the highest respiration rate of any fruit or vegetable and has
a very short post harvest life. Broccoli must be cooled to around
0ºC immediately following harvest to protect the tight, compact
flowers on the head. Broccoli that has been properly pre-cooled to
0ºC can be packed successfully into a carton liner without the need
to apply top ice. By using PEAKfresh there are savings in ice and
the unnecessary use of expensive waxed boxes.
Recommended Post Harvest Temperatures
0ºC (32ºF) temperature and 95%humidity
Packaging Method:
Packed in individual bags or bulk packed into PEAKfresh carton
0ºC (32ºF) temperature and 95%humidity
Packaging Method:
Packed in individual bags or bulk packed into PEAKfresh carton
liners. No ice needed. No waxed box needed. Broccoli with very
tight and compact flowers can be stored up to four weeks using
PEAKfresh. Fold close liner at top before placing outer carton lid.
Refrigeration is essential for transport and storage of broccoli.
Must be packed dry without leaves. Trimming of butt cut and leaves
must be done with knives treated with chlorine solution to remove
bacteria. Bags used to pre-pack florets of broccoli must have
additional 3-6mm holes in the bag gusset to increase ventilation.
Storage Temperatures:
0ºC (32ºF) temperature and 95% humidity.
