Papaya Preservation and Shelf-Life
With Liquidseal’s papaya coating, you can extend the shelf-life of papayas and maintain their quality. Our compostable formula consistently retains the firmness of papayas, allowing them to enter their ripened stage while still staying fresh. Coated papayas are less susceptible to contaminants like mold, and we have observed a significant reduction in weight loss.

Liquidseal: Respect for Products, Partners, and Our Planet
Liquidseal preserves precious global resources by preventing wastage. By making optimal use of water and fertile soil, we can extend the shelf-life of fruits like papayas, but also of our planet. Global challenges have inspired us to step up and take the lead in moving our industry forward to a more sustainable future. Successful partnerships and a shared passion for excellence are what it will take to get things done.
Results: ECOLogic
Papayas coated with our plant-based formula consistently retain a more constant quality and increased firmness, while still being able to enter their ripened stage. Results show better looking papayas that are less susceptible to contaminants like rot and mold, as well as a significant reduction in weight loss while preserving papaya’s authentic aromas and attractive appearance.
Using Liquidseal cuts out wasteful expenses like overproduction to make up for losses and the harmful chemicals used to prevent them. Papayas can also be stored for longer, allowing for greater flexibility in responding to fluctuations in supply and demand. By removing the need to re-grade and re-sort upon arrival, Liquidseal is not only more effective but also more efficient.
How it works
Liquidseal is a post harvest coating which achieves shelf-life extension of perishable products such as fruits and vegetables. Liquidseal preserves product quality and freshness from grower to customer.
Effective barrier:
- reduces evaporation
- slow release system
- controls gas exchange
Application, Post Harvest Handling, and Implementation
Liquidseal’s coatings can be easily applied in various ways and seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. Whether applied immediately after harvesting or during post harvest handling, our coatings ensure 100% coverage, providing security to papayas at different ripening stages. This flexibility makes Liquidseal the ideal choice for growers and importers, offering a low-cost solution across the supply chain.
