Independant university research proves the value of KeepFresh

Independant university research investigating the effects of ethylene gas on fresh produce support both the need for KeepFresh in domestic refrigerators and the significant results that can be achieved when ethylene gas is removed from the storage environment.

STUDY TITLE:
The importance of low ethylene levels to delay the ageing of fruit and vegetables.
Department of Food Technology, University of New South Wales. 

Research Concluded:  Under normal handling practices fresh produce is always exposed to harmful levels of ethylene gas and any action to reduce this exposure will result in an increased storage life. On fresh produce storage tests conducted with KeepFresh’s patented Power Pellet ingredient they found that....

STUDY TITLE:  
Ethylene levels during fresh produce storage and handling
Centre for Food Industry Research & Dev’t, University of Newcastle.

 Research Concluded:  On average fruit and vegetables lose about 33% of their fresh storage life during normal handling and storage due to factors such as exposure to ethylene gas. On domestic refrigerators the research found that ....

• 83% of domestic refrigerators tested were found to have ethylene levels above the threshold where damage to fresh produce occurs
• 30% of refrigerators were found to have ethylene levels up to 40 times higher than the level where damage to fresh produce will occur.
