About
Apeel Sciences is an agricultural technology company that develops plant-derived edible coatings that significantly extend the freshness and shelf life of fresh produce. Founded in 2012 by James Rogers and headquartered in Goleta, California (near Santa Barbara), Apeel's technology mimics the natural protective layer found on the skin of fruits and vegetables. The coating — made from the lipids and glycerolipids found in grape skins, tomato skins, and other plant materials — is applied to the outside of produce after harvest, slowing water loss and oxidation that cause spoilage. The result is a 2–3x extension in usable shelf life without refrigeration changes or preservatives.
