SUNRED®

Key Benefits

• Improves fruit colouring
• Improves fruit ripening uniformity
• Less small fruit, less soft fruit

Key Components

Plant extracts, methionine, phenylalanine, monosaccharides

Mode of Action

SUNRED® contains plant extracts rich in oxylipins, natural enhances of many ripening related processes.

SUNRED® stimulates:

• pigment accumulation: SUNRED® supplies both the precursors (phenylalanine) and the enhancers (oxylipins) of the biosynthetic pathways of anthocyanin, the pigments mainly responsible for fruit colouring;
• sugar accumulation: monosaccharides serve as carbon and energy sources for plant primary metabolism;
• cell wall strengthening: oxylipins induce natural synthesis of lignin and monolignols, phenolic compounds able to reinforce cell walls. As a result, SUNRED® does not alter fruit storability.
