Silver award - Electro-conductive packaging for frozen food
Japanese company Mutsumi Chemical Industry has developed the Ultra-Freshness Preservation Freezing System, which uses technology from the electronics industry to ensure food quality and increase both shelf life and appeal.
The rapid-freezing system uses both alternating and direct current, high ‘electric potential,’ at the same time to rapidly cool the product without oxidization, reducing the size of ice crystals that form in food cells.
This process relies on a unique package design that includes an electro conductive bag made of L-LDPE and DuPont Entira AS. The combination of rapid freezing and the innovative electro-conductive bag preserves food taste and texture, reducing the amount of edible food thrown away.
