VEGGIES STAY FRESH LONGER

Higher level of dissolved oxygen for healthier cilantro sprigs

A fresh cut bunch of cilantro divided in half. On the left the cup has water treated with Bio-hydrox. On the right, the cup has regular tap water. The pictures were taken on day 1, day 2, and day 3.

Blueberries rinsed with treated water last longer

One batch of fresh blueberries was divided in half. The control (left) was rinsed with tap water and the other half (test samples on right) was rinsed with a 700 mV solution of water treated with Bio-hydrox. Both groups were stored in separate ziplock bags that were sealed and stored on a shelf under indirect light for 6 days. It is evident the control group (left) shows significantly more mold growth than the treated blueberries (right).

Better looking broccoli even when refrigerated

A head of broccoli was divided in half. The florettes on the left were rinsed with tap water and the ones on the right were rinsed with tap water treated with Bio-hydrox to 700 mV. They were bagged separate and kept in the refrigerator a 50°F for 15 days. At the end of the experiment the control florettes were considered a reject, while the test florettes looked good enough to be served in a salad or in a cooked meal. The texture was similar to that of a fresh cut.
