High-surface antimicrobial protector for extended shelf life of fresh products
Enhance the shelf life of fresh products with a nanotechnology-based antimicrobial protector. This solution creates a protective barrier on food surfaces, preventing over-oxygenation and pathogen growth, thereby extending product freshness.
Overview
This innovative solution utilizes advanced nanotechnology to enhance the shelf life of fresh products by forming a protective antimicrobial barrier on food surfaces. Leveraging the small size and high contact surface area of nanoparticles, this technology effectively reduces over-oxygenation and inhibits pathogen growth, ensuring that fresh products such as fruits, vegetables, and meats remain fresh for longer periods.
Technical specifications
Key features:
- Nanotechnology integration: Uses small metallic trace elements, specifically nanocopper, to enhance antimicrobial properties.
- Versatile application: Can be integrated with various matrices including polymers, paints, textiles, and disinfectants.
- Long-term effectiveness: Demonstrated improvements in prolonging antimicrobial activity against resistant pathogens compared to non-nanotechnology matrices.
Technology readiness level
This technology is currently at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 4. Ongoing studies aim to optimize the concentration of nanotechnology in different matrices and assess its effectiveness across various food types. Further migration studies will be conducted to secure necessary registrations and authorizations for use.
