TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

DCS Automatic for the best fruit quality
Storing fruit at the lowest O2 level will provide the best fruit quality (source: FBR Wageningen)
Better firmness, better shelf life compared to CA
DCS Automatic is an alternative for DPA
Maximum reduction of scald, skin spots and pit rot
Non chemical treatment
Natural ripening after storage, better taste!!
Better appearance of the product
DCSTM represents a quality label
Guarantees on freshness and quality can be realized on a better way
DCS can be used as an alternative for smartfresh / or be used in combination with smartfresh
Red delicoius: Reducing scald – Preservering the firmness excellent – Better taste – Fresher appearance – Consumers do appreciate the apples better – DCS against age decay and flesh brown – Possible detection of decay
Select a good marker for the lowest oxygen threshold were fermentation will start
Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H20 +energy/volatiles
Fermentation: C6H12O6 -> 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2+energy/volatiles
The production of ethanol is a direct marker for the start of fermentation
“Ethanol is the only known direct marker for fermentation” ( Jan Verschoor Senior CA researcher WUR Wageningen)

For this reason we develop the ‘DCS Automatic’ system for measuring the start of ethanol production by fruits during a O2 pull down in steps
