Fresh food, Supermarkets, Fruit shops

The fresh food sector must pay special attention to food safety practices for the prevention of diseases transmitted by their products. Besides, the increased perishability due to inadequate handling by customers, these foods can generate sources of bacterial contamination, such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, if they are not properly washed before consumption. Leafy green vegetables can also be contaminated by norovirus or Cyclospora, in addition to the previously mentioned contaminants.

Another reason to thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables is the presence of pollutants, either from their source or from exposure to urban pollution inside shops. Among other preventive measures, one of the basic rules, such as the use of disposable gloves, is not always followed.

Furthermore, in commercial establishments, there is a frequent flow of customers, which can cause outbreaks of various types of epidemics.

To help prevent risks, PUROH is a recent technological innovation available to companies that greatly minimizes these sources of contamination. PUROH is a technology that emits a radical reaction called the Open-Air Factor, which eliminates any type of pathogen: viruses or bacteria, and is harmless to animals or plants.

This patented technology, developed by the Food Safety Research Center of UPC Barcelona, purifies surfaces and air through a chain reaction of neutral hydroxyl radicals. It is the most effective and harmless technology since it occurs naturally in the upper layers of the atmosphere in a process called Advanced Oxidation. Filters are inadequate for handling and in open spaces with fluctuating movement of people, in addition to their noise, volume, and inefficiency.

PUROH also has a double effect due to its ability to eliminate all types of bacteria. On one hand, it substantially enhances the preservation and storage of exposed or stored food in chambers. On the other hand, it has a perhaps more valuable benefit, which is to induce controlled ripening of fruits, similar to how it would occur on the tree. The Open-Air Factor causes stress on the fruit, leading to increased sugar and antioxidant levels, exponentially enhancing its taste and nutritional properties.

You can find all the advantages and studies in this link, as well as a more detailed description of the product.

Incorporating this technology, therefore, has benefits for your safety, risk prevention for the health of employees and customers, as well as economic benefits for your establishment: improved product quality and a better business image. If desired, we can provide you with merchandising material that communicates these benefits to the public.
