Nilalatag ko rito ang ginawa ng Department of Science and Technology Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST-ITDI) kung paano ang packaging technology para sa durian para mapanatili ang flavor at aroma sa loob ng package sa mas mahabang panahon at mapahaba ang shelf life nito:
Mabuti nang mabasa ito ng mga mahilig sa durian, galing sa DOST XI:
“The transportation of durian fruit used to be limited due to its overpowering aroma that easily spreads within an area. With the multi-layer high-barrier packaging technology developed by DOST-ITDI, this is no longer a problem.
According to DOST-ITDI, the packaging of the durian fruit uses multiple packaging, including a high barrier film wrapper, vacuum packaging with a laminated pouch, and airtight glass jars. This process keeps the strong aroma and flavor of durian flesh for at least 12 months.
DOST-ITDI said that the packaging technology minimizes the rate at which water vapor, oil, oxygen, aroma, and vapor are released or suppressed, which affects the food product’s shelf life.
The packaging technology was showcased at the Davao Agri-Trade Expo to heighten interest among the industry and manufacturing sectors and encourage them to explore the DOST ITDI-developed technologies.
The Davao Agri-Trade Expo is the biggest and longest running trade expo in Mindanao, hosted by the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. The event provides a platform to showcase sustainable and innovative agricultural practices to strengthen agripreneurship in Mindanao.”
