PRODUCT INFORMATION TRUPICK 0.7 is a novel gel-based formulation of 1-MCP which releases volatile 1-MCP in the TRUPICK 0.7 Proprietary Gas Generator. TRUPICK 0.7 effectively blocks postharvest ethylene responses, extending the storage life and quality of many fruits and vegetables. TRUPICK 0.7 delivers various benefits to growers, packers, shippers, retailers and consumers including: Reduced loss of produce quality in storage and during transportation. Reduced food waste along the supply chain. Longer postharvest storage periods. Compatibility with most postharvest fungicide treatments. Enables produce to reach more distant markets. Leaves no detectible residues. Effective in controlled atmosphere and air-cooled storage systems. Enhanced consumer experience at the retailer level. TRUPICK 0.7 can be applied to fruits and vegetables from just after harvest to just prior to sale. Treatment with TRUPICK 0.7 is effective under both cool (below 55 F, 13 C) and warm temperature conditions (up to 68 F, 20 C). For best results, treat produce as soon as possible after harvest. Harvested fruits and vegetables must be exposed to 1-MCP in enclosed areas, such as controlled atmosphere storage rooms, coolers, shipping containers, enclosed truck trailers, or ambient temperature, refrigerated, or controlled atmosphere food storage facilities. TRUPICK 0.7 is intended only for indoor air-tight enclosed areas with no gas leakage in order to assure TRUPICK 0.7 effectiveness.
