Biofresh UK

www.bio-fresh.co.uk Biofresh is a market-leader in ethical food storage and sanitisation. Our innovative atmosphere control systems are improving the quality and marketability of fresh produce worldwide. Biofresh was formed in 2003 to implement long-term research by the founding academics at Newcastle University’s School of Biology, relating to the introduction of safe and effective residue free alternatives to chemical biocides used in the fresh produce sector. Originally a spin-out company from the University of Newcastle, the Biofresh brand was acquired by Freshpallet Limited in 2011. The two principle Biofresh technologies are: a) Biofresh Ethylene Management Systems use natural ethylene gas to suppress the sprouting process, the main cause of potato spoilage. Even better, they increase consumer confidence by leaving none of the harmful residues of chemical treatments such as CIPC. b) Biofresh Ozone Management Systems use natural ozone gas to inhibit microbial spoilage in a wide variety of fruit and vegetables. Like ethylene consumer confidence is reinforced by the absence of chemical residues. The company is based in the UK, but with approximately 75% of turnover overseas, has an extensive international sales and support network. Biofresh systems are being supplied commercially throughout the UK, Europe, North and South America, and Our systems provide the fresh produce industry with a reliable, easy to use and cost effective way to extend the life of fresh produce throughout the supply chain. Many growers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers are now reducing wastage, increasing their profits and improving their ethical credentials thanks to biofresh.
