Sorma - Fruit Preservation Equipment: Wax Machine

Apples and citrus fruits, but also other products, especially those meant for overseas markets, are often treated with edible wax. The protective layer it creates, semipermeable to gases, slows down the ripening, therefore increasing the shelf-life of the product, and decreases its normal weight loss. The fruits maintain the crunchy and juicy feature typical of the freshly picked fruit and have a better appearance thanks to the brilliance given by the wax.
