A new study conducted on fresh food cold storage rooms has revealed that Airfree Air Sterilisers from Amancorp increases the shelf life of fresh fruit by three times.

“There is so much wastage at the moment, and this product controls the air, which in turn affects the shelf life of your fresh food products,” explained Amancorp commercial director Michael Cunningham.

A 25 day study was conducted at fresh fruit importer and exporter, Shokri Hassan Trading Co (SHTC), where peaches were tested in chillers with and without the Air Sterilisers; and the results showed the Air Sterilisers not only increased the shelf life of the peaches, but also that food could be stored at a higher temperature and still remain fresh.

“With the higher food prices at the moment, and people wanting to save energy and money, this couldn’t come at a better time, and the product has already been very well received,” added Amancorp CEO Mihir Patel.

“The results of the study mean that Airfree is now a need rather than a want for any fresh food business, and we have unequivocally proven the profitability of investing in our technology,” he concluded.
