Extending Shelf Life And Freshness Of Durians
Solving the export problem of fresh durians
If you are a durian exporter or durian retailer here are the most common problems that you will face:
​
-
10%-30% wastage of your durians because it turns bad after 2 days
-
Your musang king starts to get watery after 36-48 hours
-
A delay in air shipment can make your durians spoiled and affects profits
-
You are not able to fly your fresh durians to far away places such as the US, Canada and UK due to logistics timing
-
Losses can pile up because you can't sell fresh durians after 48 hours
Finally A Solution That Extends Shelf Life Of Fresh Durians For Up to 8 days (Without Chemicals or Side Effects)
Back in 2020, MARDI did a research into the possibility of extending the shelf life of durians. The results were good. The advice and guidance of the MARDI researcher revealed to us the possibility of extending shelf life of durians. However we realiezed it needed to be put in a way that is commercially viable.
​
As this is quite new, we are still in the process refining the tech. Our own research and experiment with the assistance of R&D from Europe has been fruitful. As seen in the pictures below, it shows quite promising results which will change the way fresh durians and pulps will be exported in the future.
The pulp of this durian is already 4 days old. With the technology it still maintains its freshness after 4 days. With more testing we expect to extend the freshness to 20 days
The picture above shows durians that are already 4 days old. 2 of the durians are fresh durians while the rest are 4 days old. Looking at the stem of the durian that are white, it still looks freshly dropped and maintain its freshness.

Video Of Durian After 8 Days
Its a bit hard to imagine for you if you have not seen it life. Let me show you a video of a musang king durian and its pulp after storing for 8 days. First video is on TikTok. If you can't view the Tik Tok go to the second video on YouTube.
Advanced Technology That Has A Proven Record Of More Than 100,000 Units
While it is quite new in Asia, this technology is widely used in the European Union as well as the United States. With more than 100,000 units in use on various produces, it has a proven track record of extending shelf life of produce from Apples to Mushrooms and now to durians.
​
It is here at BloopyDurians that we are the first to use the technology on durians.
The modules in use to extend the shelf life and freshness of durians
This technology is brought to life by the help of
​
Pierre Janny : A scientist and inventor from France with more than 30 years of experience in the post harvest solution
​
Nauman Khilji : An exporter of fresh produce from Canada with more than 15 years of experience

Useful For Durian Store Owners Or Distributors
One of the main problems of durian store owners and distributors of durians are the shelf life. Normally a musang king durian or most durians will open mouth (start to become not fresh) after 2 days. About 5-10% of durians will get spoiled each day. Sometimes 30%-40% of durians are not sold.
In order to save money store owners will:
​
-
Put durian pulp into freezer
-
Put it into a box and sell it cheaper
-
Turn it into durian paste
-
Turn it into byproducts
-
Turn it into tempoyak
Instead of wasting the durians, store owners can store it in the modules. Above is me storing the durians for visitors.
We take it out and then let it go back up to room temperature. Store in the modules at 13c and take it out for 3-4 hours to go back to normal temperature
The module box helps to preserve the freshness of the durian pulp. You don't even notice the difference.
The above durian was stored on Wednesday, probably dropped at Wednesday morning. Then I kept it till Saturday. We open the module box, took it our and gave to visitors.
I think the use for the module boxes extends beyond keeping the durians fresh for 5-10 days. Durian store owners can:
​
-
Buy the fruits on Mon to Thursday when there are lots of fruits and sell them in the weekend. If you are a durian store owner you know its a bit hard to get fruits in the weekend
-
Store your unsold fruits from the weekend and sell them later
-
The usage of this module box is only limited by your imagination. There can be many uses.

This Module Can Be Used To Extend Shelf Life Of Mangosteen (And Other Fruits And Vegetables)
Apart from durian, this module can be used to extend the freshness of other tropical fruits such as Mangosteen, pineapple and many other fruits and vegetables. The use of it is endless.
We stored about 180kg of mangosteen on July 17 2026. Looks fresh with some darker and some lighter in colour.
After 18 days, they still remain fresh. The lighter ones still did not go dark. Usually after a week they will all start to go hard and cannot eat.
The flesh of the mangosteen is still white and I ate it and it tasted nice, juicy and sweet
I'm quite surprise with the results as well. Fruit still looks very good.
The mangosteen trial proves to me that the module not only works on durians but also on other tropical fruits like mangosteen. Usually when a big season comes prices can go down a lot. Imagine if we can just store them for a long time. Then we won't face the issue of oversupply.
More Research To Come - The Janny MT Solution
We believe this tech will be a game changer and revolutionize the durian industry. Being able to preserve the freshness of durians will enable the export and storage of fresh durians to all over the world. The technology is called Janny MT after the founder's name and Bloopy Durians is the rights holder here.
Durians are stored in the modules and protected. Keeping it fresh for days
We have given the test results to market players and industry experts to try and they are not able to tell the difference between our stored durians and fresh durians. Most say that the durians are freshly dropped in the morning.
As this technology is very new to the durian industry, we are still testing and will be giving the best to our customers. We look forward to when customers in China, US or even UK are able to taste fresh durians like in Malaysia.
