Ecabiotec Middle East Manufacturing LLC launched its Anofood range of products at Gulfood, with the aim of having it available for the market very soon.
Speaking to Caterer Middle East at Gulfood 2017, CEO Dr Hisa Lootah said the products are 99% water and through an electro-chemical activation using an Ecalit machine, breaks down the wall of germs and kills them instantly.
The product will be available in different sizes, ranging from five litres to 1,000 for its concentrated solution. The benefit, Dr Lootah revealed, is that because the product has no chemicals, it can be used in hotels and restaurants, including in food production areas where meat, poultry or dairy production units are present.
It can be used for chemical-free washing of produce, such as fruits and vegetables, and can even be used during storage of fish to increase shelf life.
The lack of chemicals means food or people do not need to be evacuated when using the product either. They work in all surfaces, are pH neutral and non-toxic, and need no special precautions, rinse or removal and no evacuation of any kind for safety purposes, and are safe upon contact or ingestion by humans, birds, and animals alike. “It’s a plus point for organic farms as well; it can be used in organic farms since there are no chemicals [in Anofood],” added Dr Lootah. The plan for the company is to enter the horeca market with the locally manufactured line of biological disinfectants.
