When it comes to storing and transporting sensitive agricultural produce like coffee and cocoa beans, retaining freshness and flavour is crucial. While traditional storage methods often rely on chemicals or fumigants to protect products from pests and contaminants, hermetic bags – like JB Anderson’s Freshlock solution – offer a much more effective and chemical-free way to preserve the quality of these beans and related products.
Here’s why these high-performance bags are invaluable for anyone storing and transporting coffee and cocoa beans as well as nuts and sesame seeds.
- Prevents Infestation and Mould Growth
Two of the primary threats to stored beans, nuts and sesame seeds are mould growth and infestation – both of which can instantly ruin a batch of commodities. Fortunately, Freshlock bags work by creating a modified atmosphere inside, sealing out oxygen and moisture – key factors for pest and fungal growth. This hermetic barrier ensures that produce remains free from infestations, mould and other contaminants, without relying on harmful chemicals or fumigants. This makes Freshlock bags an ideal solution for keeping your beans, nuts and sesame seeds fresh and safe during storage and transport.
- Locks in Freshness and Aroma
Coffee and cocoa beans are prized not only for their flavours but also for their distinct aromas. Freshlock bags are designed to retain the natural aromas and flavours of beans and similar produce by sealing in the freshness. Unlike traditional storage methods, which can lead to flavour degradation over time, these hermetic bags help preserve the beans’, nuts’ and sesame seeds’ original characteristics. The sealed environment also helps maintain their colour and texture, ensuring that the produce stays in prime condition until it reaches the market or consumer.
- Durability and Temperature Tolerance
Some hermetic bags, like Freshlock, are created to be incredibly durable. Made from high-performance polymers , with a weight capacity of 30-70kgs they offer strength and resistance to damage, even during long transport journeys. And that is not all. Whether your goods are being shipped by road, air or sea, Freshlock bags can withstand a wide range of temperatures ensuring that commodities are protected, no matter the conditions. This makes them an excellent choice for both local and international shipping, where environmental conditions can vary greatly.
4. Oil and Solvent Resistant
JB Anderson’s hermetic Freshlock bags have a high resistance to oil and solvents, making them ideal for storing and transporting sensitive products in challenging environments. Their durable construction ensures that they maintain their integrity even when exposed to harsh substances, providing an extra layer of protection for your goods.
- A Sustainable, Chemical-Free Solution
One of the most significant advantages of hermetic bags is that they offer a chemical-free method of preservation. By using a sealed environment to prevent pest infestation and mould, Freshlock bags eliminate the need for pesticides, fumigants or other toxic treatments. This makes them an eco-friendly solution that aligns with growing consumer demand for sustainable, chemical-free products. Plus, for organic coffee or cocoa producers, these bags provide a perfect way to preserve their products without compromising on organic integrity.
