Our Extend-A-Life TM Ethylene Filters and Produce Saver TM Sachets are used on US Navy ships of all types. These "GREEN TECHNOLOGY"
filters are designed to effectively absorb the ethylene gas that causes most fresh fruits and vegetables (FFV) to ripen and spoil.
By absorbing the ethylene gas, our products prolong the shelf life of most FFV by 2-3 weeks, and in some cases, up to 4 weeks longer
than normal.
Proven Technology
Results of a test aboard USS Roosevelt (CVN-71) in 1999, showed a 9% improvement in shelf life for oranges, 10% for cucumbers, 88% for lettuce and celery, and 245% for tomatoes. Research conducted over a more than thirty year period by the Natick research facility has resulted in a series of recommendations for the use of ethylene filters aboard Navy ships. Originally reported by Natick Research Center in 1987, and updated with laboratory studies in 1989, the conclusions were identical: Ethylene filters are the most effective and economical means of preserving Fruits and Vegetables aboard US Navy ships.
