Novazone Introduces Clean Technology Product to Revolutionize Global Shipping of Fresh Produce.PurFresh[TM] Solution Utilizes Clean Technologies to Reduce Decay, Control Against Over-Ripening and Enhance Food Safety of Fruits and Vegetables in Transit LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Novazone, the leading provider of clean technology solutions for food and water including advanced ozone-based applications, today announced the launch of PurFresh[TM], a solution for reducing decay, controlling over-ripening and enhancing food safety of fresh produce during transit. PurFresh utilizes ambient oxygen from outside air and converts it to ozone, a natural form of electrified oxygen. Ozone is delivered continually by Novazone's PurFresh product into shipping containers, trucks and trains at a specific dosage where its concentrations are carefully maintained in the parts per billion ranges. When properly controlled, ozone is extremely effective in killing microorganisms such as mold, bacteria and viruses that lead to decay and food safety risks. In addition, ozone reacts with a ripening ripening said of meat. See curing. hormone, ethylene, to slow the ripening process naturally, leading to higher quality produce with longer shelf life. After doing its work, ozone instantly converts back into pure oxygen leaving no residue and having no impact on product appearance, taste and nutrition.

Imagine if you could use a clean technology such as oxygen to recapture a portion of that loss by stopping decay, extending shelf life and enhancing food safety for all produce shipped globally -- this is what PurFresh is all about." PurFresh is easy to install, operate and maintain, and can be used in both regular and controlled atmosphere A controlled atmosphere is an agricultural storage method. An atmosphere in which oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen concentrations are regulated, as well as temperature and humidity. Two major classes of commodity can be stored in controlled atmosphere. 1. environments.
