FAQ

Unlike conventional packaging, a food coating is edible and gives the product additional properties.

With our Prosane coating, we provide the coated fruit or vegetable with a true active protection that allows on the one hand to reduce its natural respiration, thus extending its ripening time, and on the other hand to fight against specific pathogens (fungi, bacteria) that target them.

Our coating is a synergistic combination of biopolymers and plant-based ingredients. It is an all-natural solution, compatible with organic farming.

Thanks to the double protection offered by our coating, the coated fruit or vegetable matures more slowly in a natural way. Its nutritional composition is thus simply preserved for longer.

In accordance with European regulations, our coating has no taste or smell and does not alter any physical or chemical properties of the protected food!

All the components of our coating are already used in human food and their safety has been widely proven. The coating can therefore be consumed without any danger. It can also be easily washed off with a simple stream of water.

Proteme's mission is to offer ecological alternatives to the traditional products with which producers protect their crops. With 100% fungal and plant-based ingredients, our coating is fully biodegradable and environmentally friendly!

Our coating is designed to be easily washed off with water.

For those who wish to remove it or who are used to washing their fruit and vegetables, we offer you the possibility to consume your products free of any post-harvest treatment!

As each fruit and vegetable has unique biological characteristics, it is a target for different bacteria and fungi. This specificity leads us to create a solution adapted to each fruit and vegetable!

For the time being, our Prosane line covers bananas and citrus fruits. We aim to extend it in the near future to the most fragile fruits requiring sustainable solutions: melons, kiwis, stone fruits…

The aim is of course to be completely transparent with the consumer.

We are therefore in the process of studying the various possible solutions (labelling, laser tagging, etc.) to find the one that will be consistent with our commitments and with a reasonable implementation cost.
