overview

To address post-harvest losses in fruits and vegetables, often exceeding 50% due to inadequate storage and transport; engineered shelf-life enhancer boxes have been developed. These boxes create a controlled hypoxic environment that stimulates nitric oxide release, naturally delaying ripening and extending freshness without refrigeration, offering a cost-effective and deployable preservation solution
