Vietnam is one of the 10th largest pineapple producing countries in the world, with a total pineapple growing area of ​​about 34,642 hectares and an output of hundreds of thousands of tons per year.

Pineapple can grow well in acid sulfate soils and special soil conditions. Dong Thap Muoi region, with its acid sulfate soil characteristics, has become one of the major pineapple growing areas and brings high economic efficiency to farmers. Pineapple adapts well to the natural conditions and soil conditions of the region, so it is chosen as a suitable main crop for this region.

The technical process of planting and caring for pineapple trees includes many stages such as soil preparation, seed selection, sowing seeds or planting cuttings, watering and fertilizing, protecting plants from insects and diseases, harvesting and post-harvest handling. Pineapple planting and care technology may vary depending on the growing region and local conditions.

Causes of Pineapple Spoilage After Harvest

Causes of post-harvest damage to pineapples may include the following factors:

Poor initial pineapple quality: The pineapple may have been damaged, spoiled or have defects before harvest. These pineapples are prone to rapid deterioration after harvest.

Improper post-harvest handling: Post-harvest handling of pineapples is important to keep them fresh and prevent spoilage. If handling is not done properly, such as not removing damaged fruit, not cleaning or storing properly, pineapples will spoil quickly.

Improper storage environment: To preserve pineapple after harvest, it is necessary to create a suitable storage and transportation environment. Temperature, humidity and light can affect the quality and shelf life of pineapple. Improper environment can cause damage to pineapple.

Bacteria and molds: Bacteria and molds are agents that cause damage to pineapples after harvest. They can enter the pineapple through wounds, causing discoloration, rot, or decomposition of the fruit.

Rough handling and impact: Pineapples are sensitive to rough handling and impact. If pineapples are not handled gently or transported carefully, they can be damaged, reducing the quality and shelf life of the fruit.

What Temperature Should I Keep Pineapple Fresh For?

The temperature to keep pineapple fresh is between 8-10°C. In the refrigerator, you should put pineapple in the vegetable compartment. 

If the temperature is too low, the pineapple will lose its flavor and deliciousness. On the contrary, if the temperature is too high, the pineapple will quickly spoil. 

Humidity during pineapple storage should be around 90% to ensure the freshness of this fruit.

Preserving Pineapple Exported to Japan Using AnsiP 1-MCP & Natacoat?

Since China banned imports of Taiwanese pineapples in March last year, Taiwanese exporters have shifted pineapple sales to other overseas markets such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Australia. 

natacoat anti-mold for fruit

Previously, it only took 3-4 days to ship pineapples from Taiwan to mainland China, but now it takes more than 7 days to ship to those countries. 

How to control ripeness and prevent mold contamination during storage and transportation is a difficult task for pineapple exporting enterprises.

Ansip 1-MCP

AnsiP-S 1-MCP and Natacoat , two products of the latest post-harvest preservation technology in the world, and SANCOPACK is the exclusive distributor in Vietnam, have been applied by many exporters to solve post-harvest quality problems. 

Preserving pineapple for export to Japan

By using AnsiP-S 1-MCP in the packaging process, the ripening mechanism and color change of pineapples can be delayed for more than 10 days after harvest and shipment to Japan. 

Regarding fungal infections, when Natacoat is applied to pineapple cuts, its inhibitory effect on fungal growth is more durable than chlorine or alcohol, which only lasts no more than 10 days. 

In other words, AnsiP-S 1-MCP plus the biological product Natacoat helps fruits comply with the high quality standards required by Japanese importers.

Both AnsiP-S and Natacoat are user-friendly and meet FDA standards. Furthermore, both products leave no chemical residue in pineapples.

How to Preserve Fresh Pineapple for Export Using Natacoat Biological Products and MAP Modified Atmosphere Bags to Keep Fresh for More Than 30 Days

To preserve fresh pineapples for export, a method using the biological product Natacoat and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) bags can be applied. 

Natacoat biological preparation is a natural fungus inhibitor, which helps prevent fungal growth and prolongs the shelf life of fruits.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) bags are used to adjust the gas composition in the package to create an ideal environment for pineapple preservation.

When applying the biological product Natacoat and the MAP modified atmosphere bag, the atmosphere in the bag will be adjusted to increase the CO2 content and reduce the O2. This change helps slow down the respiration and anti-oxidation process in pineapple, thereby extending the storage time and maintaining the freshness of the fruit.

This method of preservation can help reduce the rate of damage and dehydration, ensuring that pineapples stay fresh for a long time during transportation and export. However, to ensure the effectiveness of this method, it is necessary to follow the correct procedure and use products and bags of guaranteed quality.
