How does the technology of this innovative multi-active container work?

This multi-active container incorporates natural essential oils as active agents, with antimicrobial activity, antioxidant, and with certain ethylene controlTo control rot, oxidation, dehydration, and progress towards the over-ripening of products

How does the technology of this innovative multi-active container work?

Nanoencapsulated essential oils are applied in the coating emulsion of the cardboard. The release of active essential oils is progressive and only occurs when the product is packed in the active cardboard package, when the Relative Humidity (RH) is high in the vicinity of the surface of the walls of the cardboard tray

Molecules of essential oil trapped in the

molecular capsule that prevents it from being

released from the surface of the carton

Molecular capsule that

traps the essential oil, and

releases it when the RH is

The nanoencapsulated essential oils, applied in combination with the water-based emulsion on the cardboard, are:

- more heat resistant, - they are not released during high temperature

drying in the cardboard manufacturing, and- they do not evaporate - release - of the

cardboard after its manufacture unless it has a high RH (>80-85%) in the environment

Molecules of essential oil trapped in the

molecular capsule that prevents it from being

released from the surface of the carton

Molecular capsule that

traps the essential oil, and

releases it when the RH is

high

This technology is patented internationally and is exclusive of SAECO

(SAE de Cartón Ondulado)

The active coating can also be applied in the alveoli and in the paper wrappers, and in little trays or baskets of micro-corrugated cardboard

And it can be applied in combination with ethylene adsorption agents

This multi-active cardboard container has been studied and validatedIn packaging of different fresh fruits and vegetables

(Studies conducted by the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, Spain)

What happens if the empty active cardboard box is handled in the field?

Until it is loaded with product, the active box does not start releasing active agent

The active cardboard box is kept perfectly, provided that the active box is not wet by rain or dew or frost, which is also negative for a normal box

Page 13: Presentation of Newfresh the active cardboard packaging · Recuento de Lev aduras (Log UFC/ g) en tomate Caniles conservados en refrigeración a 8 ºC y HR 85% (los días 0 y 6) y

What happens if these active boxes are loaded with product and put into the vacuum cooling? Is activity lost?

The active boxes are not affected by the vacuum cooling treatment of the product. They behave like a normal box.

No activity is lost, because in these high vacuum and low RH and temperature conditions the active agent is not released. The active box keeps its activity

Page 14: Presentation of Newfresh the active cardboard packaging · Recuento de Lev aduras (Log UFC/ g) en tomate Caniles conservados en refrigeración a 8 ºC y HR 85% (los días 0 y 6) y

What happens if the fresh product is transported in these active boxes in trucks or stored in cold rooms next to other produces packed in normal cardboard or plastic boxes?

Refrigerated transport. The active boxes keep their activity even having pallets of active boxes along with pallets of normal boxes with other products

Refrigerated storage. The boxes keep their activity even having pallets of active boxes along with pallets of normal boxes and other products

Page 15: Presentation of Newfresh the active cardboard packaging · Recuento de Lev aduras (Log UFC/ g) en tomate Caniles conservados en refrigeración a 8 ºC y HR 85% (los días 0 y 6) y

What happens if the product packed in this active carton crate follows the usual logistic route until it is sold in the supermarket?

The crate is active regardless of temperature, as long as it is in contact with the fresh product

▪ High RH is generated in the vicinity of fresh fruits and vegetables (even at temperatures outside the cold rooms), and this causes the release of essential oil vapors that preserve the product, even at room temperature

▪ See example in the next slide

La caja activa libera agentes activos que conservan el producto fresco a temperatura ambiente

The NewFreshactive box reduces the percentage of rotten to less than half than in traditional cardboard or plastic boxes (up to 0% in most cases)

The NewFresh active box keeps the lettuce fresh for more than 24 days. The oxidation state of the trunk cut and nerves is best maintained in lettuce packed in NewFresh active boxes. This occurs in lettuce wrapped in field bags, in boxes with inner liner, and in the Iceberg, Romana and Little Gem varieties.

Comparison of conservation in polystyrene (PS) boxes with bag and ice, to conservation in active NewFresh cardboard boxes (in a cold room at 2ºC and 90% RH)

Polystyrene box + bag + ice

NewFresh active box, with film cover, not with bag. Broccoli heads go without ice, directly on the NewFresh cardboard box

Evolution of overall quality and color

The NewFresh active box maintains the overall quality that, after 28-35 days, can be seen practically as on the first day (4 points out of 5). This result is a consequence of the maintenance of the freshness characteristics (texture, smell, invaluable dehydration and fresh color) during the entire conservation period, beyond 28 -35 days.

Evolution of the overall quality of broccoli over 46 days of storage, in the NewFresh box

The NewFresh active box maintains the freshness of broccoli for more than 40 days (there is no separation of the flowers, or yellowing). The color and turgidity is best maintained in broccoli packed in NewFresh active boxes. This also occurs in broccoli heads wrapped in bags and packaged in this type of active NewFresh cardboard box.

Evolution of the percentage of rotten in nectarine

The NewFresh active box reduces the percentage of rotten to less than half compared to traditional cardboard or plastic boxes (up to less than 5% after 28 days of storage)

The NewFresh active box maintains the freshness of the fruit. On day 21

of conservation the traditional box fruit has less firmness and freshness (it is not acceptable from day 15 of

conservation). In NewFresh active box, the fruit maintains its firmness

and freshness, and presents less oxidation when the fruit is cut.

Evolution of firmness and freshness of the fruit

The NewFresh active box can be applied in a product packaged in flow-pack. The NewFresh box with any of the packaging formats maintains the freshness of the stone fruit. In a plastic basket and macroperforated flow-pack, the NewFresh box also improves conservation compared to the traditional cardboard box.

The NewFresh active box reduces the percentage of rotten to less than half that of traditional cardboard boxes

The NewFresh active box maintains the freshness of the fruit. On day 14 of conservation the traditional box fruit has less firmness and freshness (it is not acceptable from day 7-8 of conservation). In NewFresh active box, the fruit maintains its firmness and freshness until day 14, and presents a less dehydrated calyx.

Evolution of firmness and freshness of the fruit

The NewFresh active box can be applied in a product packaged in a flow-pack, with a plastic basket, as is the case of the strawberry. The NewFresh box maintains the freshness of the strawberry. The NewFresh box improves conservation compared to the traditional cardboard box.

Evolution of overall quality and color

The NewFresh active box maintains the overall quality that, after 30 days, can be seen in good condition (4 points out of 5). This result is a consequence of the maintenance of the freshness characteristics (stem color, grain color, invaluable dehydration and fresh color) during the entire conservation period, beyond 28-30 days. In addition, the grape separates less from the stem.
