ASAP
Food packaging storing products at room temperature for up to two years
We are a team of visionary food scientists, engineers and packaging specialists that have developed a revolutionary, patent-pending technology called advanced sous-vide aseptic packaging (ASAP) that could sterilize food products at very gentle temperatures (140 to 176 °F or 60 to 80 °C).
Fresh produce can be shipped or stored at room temperature, without deterioration or spoilage. ASAP enables the manufacture of ready-to-eat (MRE) meals with taste, texture and nutrition rivalling those of traditionally cooked meals, if not a five-star restaurant dinner.
Unlike canned food, retort food or food processed using the latest microwave-assisted thermal sterilization (MATS) technology, ASAP food products are not exposed to temperatures greater than 250 °F (121 °C). As a result, the taste, texture and quality of ASAP food products are far superior.
