Mandarin Washing and Waxing

Nov 10, 2011

With the help of JBT FoodTech, Lindcove staff revamped the section of the packline we use for mandarins.  We can now load, drench, wax and dry mandarins and simulate commercial packing house treatments. We upgraded the mandarin line to help researchers respond to the industry shift towards mandarins.  In this photo, Frost Owari mandarins from Marylu Arpaia's sensory tasting trials are being run through the line.
