Project Summary
- N2N Fresh Group, (NFG) owns all license(s) / Rights to globally manufacture and market the N2N Fresh-Extender products / systems.
- The "Fresh-Extender" Products extend the shelf-life and keep fresh longer, products such as fruit, vegetables, produce, crops, flowers and raw foods etc.
- The N2N "Fresh-Extender" Products are based on of N2N's specially developed and exclusively owned technologies and associated intellectual property, (IP), which encapsulate these items, (via a fine spray coating) making it impossible for the colonization of any microbes, (such as molds, mildews, bacteria, viruses, black spots, etc.), from forming on the applicated surfaces.

N2N Flagship Technology Products
N2N Fresh Group utilized the N2N base, disruptive, technologies to produce the N2N “Extender” Products including:
Products that are eco-friendly and work in one with nature to reduce rot and spoilage in crops, produce, flowers, etc.
Products that keep produce, crops, flowers, etc. fresh for extended time periods while decreasing, (and in many cases eliminating), wastage/spoilage, currently incurred by both growers and resellers alike.

Some of the many advantages achieved using N2N ”Fresh -Extender” Products are:
Financial Impact: Crop spoilage, either from storage, transportation or more commonly, rotting caused by mold and other bacteria, a major issue for growers and resellers alike. This loss equates to a financial loss that runs into billions of US dollars annually.
Environmental Impact: Decaying crops/food is responsible for over 7% of the carbon that is released into the atmosphere globally on an annual basis.
Retail Impact: Large resellers of produce, flowers, etc. claim that up to 21% of their purchases from growers/suppliers do not make it to end -users because of these issues.
N2N Solution: N2N Fresh Group believes that it can significantly reduce/eliminate these issues globally with the use of N2N ”Fresh -Extender” Products.

N2N Extender Mission
N2N “Extender” Products will go a long way to reverse the following
Tons Wasted
0
B
Roughly one-third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year – approximately 1.3 billion tons – gets lost or wasted.
Highest Wastage
0
%
Fruits and vegetables, plus roots and tubers have the highest wastage rates of any food.
Loss Levels
0
%+
In developing countries, 40 percent of losses occur at post-harvest and processing level while in industrialized countries more than 40 percent of losses happen at retail and consumer levels.
People Fed
0
M
If just 25% of the food currently lost or wasted globally could be saved, it would be enough to feed 870 million people globally.
Crops
N2N “Fresh-Extender” Product has shown remarkable results in preserving crops and extending shelf life
Application Timing
Testing has shown that to get the best results, in terms of shelf-life extension and freshness, N2N "Fresh-Extender" Product should be applied to the produce just prior to harvest and then again before being packaged for transport.
Exceeding Expectations
Numerous growers have achieved results beyond what they expected or deemed necessary by applying Fresh-Extender Products to harvested produce.
Proven Results
In a controlled test, two coffee leaves from the same tree (one treated, one untreated) were stored in identical conditions for two weeks. The untreated leaf lost all color and reached advanced decomposition, while the treated leaf remained fresh as the day it was picked. Even where the leaf wasn't directly treated, the product prevented rot from spreading to the rest of the leaf.
Flowers
The cut flower market is a multi billion-dollar market annually.
Industry insiders claim that up to 30% of all cut flowers fail to make it to the end-user due to mold, black spots, (a form of mold), mildew and other bacteria that blight the flowers after cutting.
Once a flower is cut from a plant, mold/bacteria attack both the cut surface, which can spread internal damage, and the flower surface itself. Extensive testing using Fresh-Extender Products has proven that:
Industry insiders claim that up to 30% of all cut flowers fail to make it to the end-user due to mold, black spots, (a form of mold), mildew and other bacteria that blight the flowers after cutting.
Once a flower is cut from a plant, mold/bacteria attack both the cut surface, which can spread internal damage, and the flower surface itself. Extensive testing using Fresh-Extender Products has proven that:
- 1. The life of a treated flower after being cut is approximately twice that of an untreated one.
- 2. Treated flowers reduce the risk of loss in transit to almost zero.
- 3. Growers/resellers gain an increase in profits due to the extended life cycle of the treated flower by increasing both the transportation and reseller shelf-life times.
Produce
Bacterial and fungal micro-organisms pose a significant threat to harvested produce, but N2N Fresh-Extender provides effective protection
Immediate Attack
Bacterial and fungal micro-organisms, responsible for post harvest rot, attack all produce the minute it is harvested.
Cross-Contamination
If only a small part of the produce has a colonization of rot, bacteria or similar nasty form on it, this will be enough to spread and infect all produce packaged around it.
Complete Protection
Fresh--Extender not only stops the initial infestation of rot/bacteria, etc. but will protect all other surrounding produce from being affected, should this occur.
Food
Fresh-Extender Applications for Food Products.
- Fresh-Extended Trials have been undertaken on a variety of foods, both refrigerated and unrefrigerated.
- This has been done by applying Fresh-Extender products to the polystyrene trays, the absorbent pads under the food product and, in some cases, the clear atmospheric permeable plastic film.
- Initial results have been beyond our expectations, although further testing and development needs to be undertaken.
- Meat/Fish packaging products treated with Fresh-Extender lasted a full day unrefrigerated before any spoilage occurred.
- Meat/Fish products treated with Fresh-Extender that was then refrigerated showed increased shelf-life of up to a week beyond traditional expectations and in some cases longer.
