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

2 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

3 Anti-Microbial & Ethylene Adsorbers Technology

4 Anti Microbials PLASTIC FILM

5 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

6 ETHYLENE PROBLEM ETHYLENE PRODUCTION FROM DIFFERENT FRUITS & VEGETABLES LOW <1.0 ml/kg/hr MODERATE 1-10 ml/kg/hr HIGH 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

7 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

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

9 TESTING on Flowers

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

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

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

13 Day 7 – Normal bag

14 Day 7 – Keep-It-Fresh Bag

15 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.

16 Also available Keep-It-Fresh Capsules
Plastic Capsules for 10 cubic feet Can be placed in refrigerators and with fresh produce Also available with adhesive backing
