Extending freshness. Enhancing safety. Reducing waste.
Food producers and processors face growing pressure to deliver safe, high-quality products while reducing waste and supporting more sustainable supply chains. At PureFize Technologies, we provide a proven solution: broad-spectrum UV technology designed to meet the demanding food hygiene and preservation challenges.
Proven science, real impact
Our dedicated UV & Food Science Lab in Stockholm has demonstrated that PureFize broad-spectrum UV treatment can double the shelf life of raw chicken fillets stored in refrigeration without chemicals, additives, or a negative impact on taste, texture, or appearance.
- Shelf life at 4°C extended from 4 to 8 days
- Significant reduction of microbial load and biofilm formation
- No measurable changes in water loss, color, or pH
These findings demonstrate how PureFize can improve product quality, reduce spoilage, and support longer distribution windows for poultry and other perishable foods.

Why Broad-Spectrum UV?
Unlike single-wavelength UVC solutions, PureFize® delivers a broad spectrum of germicidal UV (250–350 nm) with two peaks at 262 nm and 295 nm. This provides several critical advantages for food environments:
- Stronger germicidal effect across bacteria, viruses, fungi, and resistant pathogens.
- Effective against biofilms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a persistent challenge in food processing facilities.
- Penetration beyond surface level ensures deeper microbial control where UVC alone is insufficient.
- Chemical-free, residue-free, and environmentally friendly.
