Pitch:
Technology to replace chemicals in food storage and organically registered. No residues or contaminants, less waste.
The Problem And How You Are Solving It:
Food security is a global issue.
Wastage, rots and storage limitations.
Chemicals decline in effectiveness from the moment they are applied and are costly to purchase and apply.
Chemical applications often leave residues on produce and in many cases reduce taste and goodness.
In long-term storage’s the chemicals become useless reapplied (which normally does not happen).
Contaminants mainly come in from the field and are stored in atmosphere (ambient, controlled CA and chilled).
Often the storage’s may be contaminated already along with the bins that are not cleaned properly.
Current methods are to  protect produce by spraying or applying expensive chemicals to destroy latent contaminants on the produce.
Produce contributes to its own senescence by generating cumulative gases including ethylene.
Gases are very difficult to remove and in most storage’s are not.
In the case of ethylene being a drying gas, there are also ramifications to reductions in produce weight.
The problem overall is reductions in the availability of fresh, good value produce due to rots, moulds, internal browning, virus, bacteria and premature senescence.
Airofresh INTL developed a technology that addresses the problems detailed herein with a multi-process unit, driven by light frequencies that is not Ion, Ozone or photocatalytic.
We adapt atmosphere to effectively address all the described issues.
