Hefestus (distributed in Australia by Goldtec Control Systems) has introduced a packaging-system solution based on patented SLB (shelf life booster) technology to extend the shelf life of food products.
According to Hefestus, its SLB packaging technology will allow manufacturers to transport fresh meat and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables products, such as ready-to-eat salads, to distant destinations without impact on product odour and appearance.
The SLB technology reduces the accumulation of product decomposition liquids in the packaging bottom, therefore doubling a product's shelf life.
Hefestus said the SLB technology is able to double the product shelf life.
