"A question was raised by a brother—here is the response."

The high speed corrugation machine produce large quantity of meterial within minimum time. To paste this meterial sodium silicate is used to dry-up the sheets very quickly. The boxes are ready to be transpoarted as soon as boxes are stictiched. All manufacturers are not using sodium silicate but some use silicate in there manufacturing processe.
Second question is "what is the impact of sodium Silicate on apple fruit"
Fruits like banana, mango etc., are harvested unripe and packed with preservative, when they
reach market, the are ready to use. Apple orchidists can't harvest colourless apple, because rate depends on the colour of your apple fruit. Full colour apple fruit when packed in sodium silicate boxes ripe further while transporting from one state to another and they are demaged before reaching market.
Boxes made with gum powder other than sodium silicate is best for apple fruit packing.

However there are some ways a common man can do to check whether box contain silicate or dry gum powder. The product you are going to purchase or have already purchased from the dealer/manufacturer, visit the factory premises to personally check whether they use silicate or dry adhesive gum powder. If not satisfied ask for bills showing the type of gum used.
"Using cheaper cardboard boxes containing silicate may damage your fruit—choose quality instead."
The cost difference is only 2 to 3 rupees, so choose wisely.
