Modified rosin esters (Gum Rosin Esters), namely Fumaric Resins and Maleic Resins, are added to fruit coating formulations and blended with the other ingredients to form the coating material. When applied to fruit, the formulation forms a protective film.
Modified rosin esters (gum rosin esters) coat fruits and vegetables with a new natural or synthetic layer that cuts off contact with ambient microorganisms, prevents decay, extends shelf life and prolongs storage time by preventing loss of water activity. In addition, coatings made with glossy materials make fruits and vegetables look more appealing, increasing their commercial value.
When resins modified with fumaric acid and maleic acid are used in fruit coating applications, these products must comply with local and national food regulations.
Our Modified Gum Rosin products, which are of great importance for sustainable food supply and the most preferred in the industry, including Maleic and Fumaric Resins, are as follows:
