EVERFRESH Innovation Extends Fruit Shelf Life and Slows Spoilage, Benefiting Exporters
EVERFRESH, a new innovation by startup Cipher InnoTech Co., Ltd., uses natural peptides to extend the shelf life of fruits by at least twice their original duration. Tested on ‘Nam Dok Mai’ mangoes, the product extends their lifespan from 7 to 14 days.
Unlike traditional coatings such as wax and chlorine, EVERFRESH is a natural, safe, and eco-friendly alternative that preserves both nutritional value and appearance during transport. This innovation significantly reduces waste and boosts the potential for Thai fruit exports.
EVERFRESH’s natural peptide formula is safe for both consumers and the environment, providing longer-lasting freshness for exported fruits. The product has been developed by a team of young researchers from King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), led by CMO Santi Nokyot.
EVERFRESH won 2nd Runner-up at the I-New Gen Award 2023 and shows great potential for wide use in both export and household markets. Its low-cost, water-based solution is easy to apply via spraying or dipping, making it highly versatile.
By prolonging the shelf life of perishable fruits, EVERFRESH offers Thai exporters access to broader markets, reducing spoilage-related losses and generating more revenue. This innovation will help Thailand export mangoes and other fruits further than ever, including to new markets like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, which previously relied on canned alternatives.
