How FreshLab Works
FreshLab is a bentonite-based, microorganism-activated material that absorbs moisture, reduces ethylene, kills bacteria, and stops mold—without electricity or synthetic preservatives.
Why Food Spoils
Fresh produce faces three major threats from harvest to table
Bacterial Entry
Bacteria enter through tiny cuts during harvesting and delivery and multiply quickly.
Moisture & Mold
High internal moisture lets mold grow and spread from piece to piece.
Ethylene Release
Aging fruits and flowers release ethylene gas, which softens tissues and accelerates spoilage.
FreshLab's Technology
A unique multi-stage process creates our natural preservation material
Natural Composition
FreshLab uses a natural bentonite-based structure created through a controlled multi-stage heating process (around 300°C, 500°C, and 800°C) combining mud/bentonite, microorganisms, and grapefruit extract.
Dormant Microorganisms
Heat-resistant microorganisms from volcanic environments remain dormant in the material until it absorbs moisture from produce.
Activation & Protection
When activated, they suppress anaerobic bacteria while the structure absorbs humidity and actively reduces ethylene gas.
What It Does in Your Environment
Comprehensive protection against all causes of spoilage
Bacteria Control
Eliminates 99.9% of E. coli, Pseudomonas, and Staphylococcus in tests.
Mold Suppression
Stops new mold growth and removes mold already present on produce.
Ethylene Reduction
Reduces ethylene by about 60% in 6 hours and more than 80% within 24 hours in testing.
Moisture Regulation
Absorbs excess humidity to create a more stable micro-environment around food and flowers.
Where It Works
Designed for diverse environments and produce types
Temperature Range
0–40°C
Effective in fridges, transport, cold rooms, and ambient cool storage
Active Duration
30 Days
Each unit stays active for about 30 days and then should be replaced
Compatible Products
Fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, many flowers, and some fresh fish/meat depending on storage conditions.Note: Cut leafy greens are less suitable.
Simple Monthly Workflow
Integrate FreshLab into your existing operations seamlessly
Place
Place Fresh-Pouch in each crate or box, or attach Fresh-Fan in cold rooms.
Monitor
Run normal operations; monitor lower spoilage and returns.
Replace
Replace units monthly as part of standard inventory routines.
