You state in your letter that “SmartFresh 3.3% Technology, as supplied, does not get chemically compounded or mixed with anything other than water to facilitate release (of the active ingredient) and to be used commercially.” The product is designed for use in enclosed spaces (produce storage facilities and in-transit containers) to maintain the harvest quality of fresh-picked fruits and vegetables, by working with the natural ripening process to prevent accelerated ripening or senescence due to the naturally occurring plant hormone, ethylene. Upon removal from storage (and exposure from the subject product), the natural process involved in the ripening of the fruit and vegetables slowly begins again.
