Problem
Ethylene gas accelerates the ripening and spoilage of fresh produce, leading to significant post-harvest losses and reduced shelf life for retailers and consumers. Current methods of ethylene management may be energy-intensive, costly, or not easily scalable for various storage and transportation environments.
Solution
PureSpace has developed a nanotechnology-based device designed to decompose ethylene gas, thereby extending the freshness and shelf life of perishable goods. The technology removes ethylene and airborne microbes from the air in fresh produce facilities, mitigating unnecessary quality loss. This allows partners and their customers to enjoy fresher produce for a longer duration, reducing spoilage and waste throughout the food supply chain.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes retailers, distributors, and producers of fresh produce seeking to minimize spoilage and extend the shelf life of their products.
Features
- Nanotechnology-based ethylene decomposition
- Reduction of airborne microbes in storage environments
- Scalable deployment for various facility sizes
- Mitigation of post-harvest losses
- Extension of produce shelf life
