Here are the results and photos directly from developer Dr. Dave Francko:
"Tomato (California): Treated for 2 h at 25 F. In controls 24 h after cold treatment, 3 of 4 tomatoes showed translucent skin and 2 of 4 had cracked skins. The attached vine material was killed. In FreezePruf treated fruit, all three tomatoes were undamaged and the attached vines were still green and alive. NOTE: You need to magnify to see the epidermal cracks and translucent skin.
Strawberries (California): Cold-treated for 2 h at 25 F, then incubated at room temp for 24 h.
"Hope these new data brighten everyone’s day. No, we have not tested every fruit type, but we now have a solid basis for a new claim that FreezePruf will in fact add a measure of protection to mature fruit and, at least in the case of tomatoes, the attached vine tissue that supports the fruit," concluded Dr. Dave Francko.
