Fitomag Juicy Fruit - Year Round!

Juicy Fruit - Year Round!

Fitomag is an expert in the field of efficient technologies for long-term storage of fruits and vegetables.

The essence of the Fitomag storage technology lies in treating vegetables and fruits with 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), a gaseous inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis, in very low concentrations (0.5-1 part per million).

Fitomag is effective at processing of climacteric fruits and vegetables: apples, pears, plums, apricots, peaches, plums, bananas, кiwis, persimmons, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons and melons.

Fitomag was developed by two leading Russian scientific institutions: the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Horticulture named after I.V. Michurin and the Russian Chemical-Technological University named after D. I. Mendeleyev under the guidance of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences’ Professor V.A. Gudkovskiy and Professor V.F. Shvets.

Since 2005 Fitomag has specialized in introducing Fitomag’s post-harvest technology of fruit and vegetable production.

How does Fitomag technology work?

More than 90% of apples, pears, berries and vegetables in Russia are stored in refrigerators with the usual atmosphere. Under normal conditions, this technology does not guarantee the preservation of high quality fruits (freshness, juiciness, taste) and their protection from physiological damage (sunburn, decay from aging, browning of internal tissues, browning of the core, wet burn, etc.) and fungal diseases.

Effect of Fitomag

Fitomag disables the biological process of maturation and aging of the fruits by blocking the receptors with the active substance 1-methylcyclopropene. Inhibition of endocarpic biosynthesis of ethylene, α-farnesene, products of its oxidation, reduction of respiratory rate, enzymatic activity, decomposition of chlorophyll and other metabolic processes occurs.

Integrated system

Production, storage and sale is an integrated system. We accompany the fruit, do analyses, review all its life, mineral status, ethylene, divide the party by the date of fruit removal, develop the Fitomag dosage for each varieties, and conduct monitoring of fruits during storage

Focus on and specialisation

Fitomag has long focused on and specialized in developing recommendations for clients by identifying the proper storage parameters, customized for each type and variety of the fruit.

Clients Testimonials

Fitomag technology has shown high efficiency for storing apples and stone fruits in large horticultural businesses and small farms. Greenhouse complexes use the Fitomag (1-methylcyclopropene or 1-MCP) to increase shelf life of tomatoes and minimize damage to cucumbers during transportation.

Result is the most important thing for us. Treatment with Fitomag® is effective and allows us to keep the post-harvest quality of fruits until May-June.

Before processing the harvest at the state farm, we had opportunity to visit an agricultural enterprise in Krasnodar region and see how the preparation works.

Preparation treatment is a whole program that conducted by the FitomagInter specialists. State farm specialists are taking part in it. We do not need to worry about the result of processing, because professionals carry it out. They determine Fitomag® dosage based on the analysis of the fruits quality and control the storage process.

FitomagInter is focused on the result. We appreciate it very much, that is why we have been working with the company for many years and will continue to use Fitomag®.

Aleksandr Zityakov, Head of the gardening department, state farm "Belozersky"

We have been working with FitomagInter LLC for more than ten years and our business relationship has already turned into a friendship. Fitomag® is a revolution in apple storage, especially for the central Russia apple varieties such as Antonovka. This variety has a very low keeping quality - only about one and a half months. Antonovka is stored until the New Year after processing Fitomag®. After processing apple variety such as Sinap Orlovskiy, can be safely stored until the new harvest.

The apple's shelf life is very important, because its price in April is much higher than in November. Fitomag® is inexpensive, but you get a higher income using it.

Apple's hardness also increases after processing with Fitomag®. This is a very important factor, to which we paid little attention until we began to work with retail. Chains require supplying solid apples to the shelves.
