The Queen of Fruits for the Queen of England..
As legend has it, Queen Victoria of Britain was o
nce told about a divinely delicious purple fruit, which grew in far away Southeast Asia. The Queen made a promise to bestow kinightood on anyone who would bring it to her but all efforts failed. The reason was that in the 19th century, the journey from Southeast Asia took mo
nths and the delicate fruit would invariably go bad before reaching Britain.
Like durian, the Mangosteen is a Southeast Asian native and bears fruits at the same time. While the "King of Fruits" is co
nsidered by the Chinese to be "heaty" due to its rich and heavy flavour, the mangosteen posses just the oppsite, "cooling" properties, havin
g the most exquiste juicy white flesh, sweet yet slighties acid. Al this is the reason why the mangosteen is ho
noured with the high position of the Queen among fruits of the region.

A Vapor Heat Treatment System (VHT) that is a non-chemical alternative to co
ntrol and quarantine unwanted inserts and fungi in perishable commodities and tropical fruits like mangoes and Mangosteen. Our VHT system helps to ensure that your customers have a healthy choice when they buy fruit. Vapor teat treatment is very enviro
nmentally friendly process of sterilization which is much safer than the use of insecticides and other synthetic chemcials.
When exporting tropical fresh fruits, such as Mango and Mangosteen, the fruit needs to go through strict plant quarantine inspections in the im
porting country to ensure that quarantine pests such as eggs and larvae of Melon files and oriental fruit flies (which originate in tropical regions) and are present in fruits grown in these regions are sterilised and incapable of growing and multiplying in the im
porting country.
Vapor Heat Treatment is perfect method for such a treatment and the process complies with strictest internatio
nal standards. The Vapor Heat Treatment System achieves this objective with the use of hot saturated water vapor, and without the use of any chemicals. At the same time, during the process, the temperature and humidity are meticulously co
ntrolled so that the fruit is not damaged and freshness naturally preserved. The Vapor Heat Treatment System is a safe way to treat fruit so that it passes the quarantine by customs inspection and DOA, enabling the fruit such as Mango and Mangosteen to be exported from Thailand to Japan & Korea.
