Stone fruits (cherries, peaches, plums...) are fruits that have a pit or “stone” at the center of their soft, juicy flesh. They are highly nutritious and offer an array of health benefits but are also sensitive to the storage conditions. The most popular problems affecting stone fruits during the storage are loss of water and the diseases caused by fungi.
Koatilm™ and Natasan™ are used to protect stone fruits from these agents and extend the shelf-life of fruits.
