Store Afresh Solution� Is a solution concentrate

formulation composed as follows

� Hydrogen peroxide >7.5% w/w

� Phosphate >5% w/w

� Silver >0.0075%

The purpose of the formulation is to stabilise the hydrogen peroxide so that it does not decompose into water and oxygen until it comes into contact with organic matter.(such as potatoes or vegetables)

Store Afresh System

The Store Afresh system works in two main ways.

� INCREASED OXYGEN SUPPLY

The micro droplets of hydrogen peroxide solution permeate throughout the store and on contact with the crop ,they decompose releasing oxygen .One dose will create oxygen immediately around the crop . This level significantly reduces the CO2 build up and therefore reduces stress.

� INCREASED HUMIDITY

The extra water added to the storage room with the StoreAfresh (more than 90%) will maintain the high relative humidity provided by the dry fog that in turn will reduce dramatically the dehydration process (about 1% a month)which is known to be one of the major stress factors during long storage periods. When not applying Store Afresh , water is used to keep the crop at its desired humidity level.

Store Afresh Efficacy

General Fungus and Bacteria Population

Number of CFU in 1 ml of solution, (average of 4 repetitions).

� Fungus

� Untreated control: 4200 CFU/ml

� Post treatment: 130 CFU/ml

� The difference is significant.

� Bacteria

� Untreated control: 1300 CFU/ cc

� Post treatment: 330 CFU/ml

� The difference is a significant reduction.

� The Store Afresh treatment reduced the fungus and bacteria

population on the tubers in a significant manner.

Store Afresh

Fungus Spore Population in the Refrigerated room

The number of CFU per dish at 5 minute exposure, (average of 4 repetitions at random room volume).

� 2 days pre-treatment 144 CFU

� 3 days post treatment 5 CFU

� The Store Afresh treatment, based on stabilized hydrogen peroxide,

reduced the fungus spore population in the room in a significant

manner.

Store Afresh

� Store Afresh can be used on a range of vegetable and root crops.

� Effective at controlling bacteria and fungal pathogens.

� Providing crops with a oxygen boost .

� Reduces stress in potato storage reducing the conversion of starch to reducing sugars resulting in a better fry colour for processing and chipping potatoes.

Store Afresh as a plant strengthener

Store Afresh breaks down into oxygen and water,causes a stress less atmosphere for potatoes by O2 enrichment andthus a reduction in the level of CO2.

This O2 enriched atmosphere together with high relative humidityrelaxes all metabolic processes within the crop.

The above prolongs dormancy and reduces sprouting activity.

Store Afresh leads to low sugar levels that enhances the quality of chips

A high amount of sugar in tubers leads to browning of chips.

Pathogens are encapsulated because of the high oxygen atmosphere.

Enhancing Fry colorsStoreAfresh

Stress less Crop reduce potato activity.

Reduces transformation of starch to sugars.

Controls fry color.

Application Type Crop Application

This mixture is a powerful plant synergist and has the ability to help the plant overcome the effects of pathogens.

The interaction of natural plant extracts that when combined together produce a stronger effect than the individual components.

A plant synergist that can be applied a number of times to the crop through its growing cycle right up to harvest time.

The Auranta product range

� A unique non toxic blend of natural acids formulated to be used in the crop storage sector and in the growing crop environment.

� These products sit within a growers sustainability portfolio showing retail customers a real positive move to sustainable and reduced residue production.

� With many pesticide products in the specialist crop sector being revoked because of loss of registration a product that can help to fill that gap is welcome news for many growers.

� The Auranta products provide the right approach to Integrated crop management systems and future sustainability.

� With no harvest intervals we can provide the control of pathogens right to the point of delivery of your crop with no worries of residues being found.

The Auranta series for storage applications.

� A unique non toxic blend of natural Acids designed for drenching and fogging into your crop stores to control bacterial and fungal pathogens on your crops in store.

� The market in the UK for cabbages is £57 million and for Swede is £29 million a lot of this production is stored to be able to achieve year round availability. Auranta can help to reduce storage losses significantly.

� Auranta 1007 fog. Anti microbial food storage aid formulated to eliminate 99.9 % of bacteria and fungi chlorine free.

� Auranta 2001 FV. Designed to be used as a wash in rinse water or as a drench before storing products. Growth of microorganisms is suppressed by Ph. regulation. A food grade material made from plant origin self sustaining sources.

Auranta 5000 series for field applications.� Auranta 5001 designed for applications to your crops as a conventional

spray may be better placed if any disease is seen in the crop as the octanoic acid is a antimicrobial agent..

� Auranta 5004 designed for applications to crops with no apparent disease. The blend of acids in this application will help to keep crops clean.

Descriptive list of Natural acids

� Octanoic acid

Anti microbial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing its ability to grow. Antifungal agents differ from fungicides in that they defend against spores present in plant tissue, unlike fungicides which either eradicate or protect against fungal pathogens.

� Citric acid

A natural preserve of food .A benign cleaning agent and antioxidant. A weak organic acid used as a natural preservative.

� Lactic acid

Used as a food preservative in the food industry.
