An antifungal pad is a specialty product made to prevent fungus growth on perishable commodities such as grapes, strawberries, and citrus. The pads slowly release SO2 gas over time, creating a protective atmosphere around the stored produce. This pad absorbs excess moisture, preventing product spoilage and inhibiting the growth of fungi and mold. This pad helps to keep perishable goods fresher for longer periods during transportation and storage by preventing the growth of fungi. It is simple to use and fits easily into storage or packaging containers, providing a good way to keep freshness and minimize spoilage. Similarly, the pad is an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical preservatives and is safe for consumption when used as directed.
