environments, according to an independent laboratory
study conducted by Food Safety & Process Technology.
The study also verified that Listeria on stainless steel surfaces is also destroyed by the AirOcare system. The laboratory study was conducted by comparing the growth of
Listeria in two chambers with equal humidity, temperature and stainless steel surfaces. Five gram pieces of
yellow pepper in each chamber were populated with 10
million colony-forming units of Listeria. One chamber
was treated with an AirOcare air purification unit, and
the other was not. Listeria levels in both chambers were
measured at regular intervals and at different relative humidity levels found in the food industry. The AirOcare
chamber experienced almost 99.9 percent reductions in
Listeria after 30 minutes, 99.99 percent reductions after
8 hours and 99.9999 percent reductions or a reduction
from 10 million colonies to 100 or fewer after 48 hours.

Smart label
The French company CRYOLOG has designed the TRACEO transparent label to trace
freshness at a glance. Applied
over a bar code, the label turns
opaque when the product is no longer fit for consumption by
using an innovative, patented microorganism technology that
simulates the actual degradation of the product to which it is
affixed. This new-generation adhesive label (time-temperature
integrator) is programmed according to the desired tracing criteria and is applied directly over a bar code. Made up of a gel and
microorganisms, it turns opaque when the product is no longer
fit for consumption, either after accumulative exposure to excess
temperature or, if the product has been suitably kept, when the
expiration date has passed. When the label has turned opaque,
the bar code can no longer be read or scanned. For further information, call +33 (0) 1 41 24 25 00
