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.
