Testing of Keep-It-Fresh bags for Flowers RUST-X Testing of Keep-It-Fresh bags for Flowers

ETHYLENE PROBLEM Ethylene is a gas naturally produced by fruits and flowers as it ripens Ethylene works as an accelerator to the ripening process Ethylene increases ripening exponentially Ethylene adsorbers reduce the ripening rate by adsorbing the ethylene molecules. Ethylene molecules form a bond with the keep-it-fresh additives and are trapped

Anti-Microbial & Ethylene Adsorbers Technology

Anti Microbials PLASTIC FILM

How Silver Ions Work? Cell Membrane is de-stabilized BACTERIA Cell Membrane is de-stabilized Respiration is prohibited Food nutrition intake is impeded Cell Division is inhibited SiLVER ION

ETHYLENE PROBLEM ETHYLENE PRODUCTION FROM DIFFERENT FRUITS & VEGETABLES LOW <1.0 ml/kg/hr MODERATE 1-10 ml/kg/hr HIGH 10-100 ml/kg/hr VERY HIGH >100 ml/kg/hr Pineapple, artichoke, cauliflower, broccoli, date, orange, spinach, beet root, green asparagus, celery, lemon Banana, mango, plum, tomato Apricot, nectarine, pear, peach Apple, Avocado, cherimoya, passion fruit

Keep It Fresh Bags Made from food grade Polyethylene resins. Leave no harmful residues and are human safe. Preserve the freshness of perishables at room temperature as well as in refrigerator Certified and approved for food contact applications USFDA Tested by SGS Labs Recyclable

USFDA Testing from SGS Passes USDFA 21 CFR177.1520 (Olefin Polymers)

TESTING on Flowers

Day 1 Flower in Normal Bag Flower in Keep It Fresh Bag

Day 3 Flower in Normal Bag Flower in Keep-It-Fresh Bag

Day 7 Flower in Normal Bag Flower in Keep-It-Fresh Bag

Day 7 – Normal bag

Day 7 – Keep-It-Fresh Bag

Results Flowers kept in Keep-It-fresh bags last longer than the normal bags The flower in keep-it-fresh bag maintained its freshness after 2 days compared to the one in normal bag which began to lose its petals The flower in Normal bag dried and developed fungal growth after 7 days where as the one in keep-it-fresh bag looked much better. The Keep-It-Fresh bags undoubtedly extend the shelf life of fresh flowers as seen in the test.
