Details of the Technology Offer

Technology Overview

Quantum Food Preservation (QFP) is a Dutch FoodTech company developing a bio-based edible coating designed to extend the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables. The coating forms a protective layer on produce, aiming to reduce moisture loss and slow spoilage, with the potential to reduce food waste throughout the fresh-produce supply chain.

Technology and Applications

Our technology is based on natural biopolymers and is being developed for application in fresh-produce processing and post-harvest operations. We aim to make the coating compatible with existing industrial workflows, with application methods and equipment adapted to the requirements of different products and processing lines.

Potential applications include berries and other fresh fruits and vegetables. The suitability and performance of the coating can be evaluated for specific produce types and storage conditions.

Current Development Status

QFP is in the technology validation and commercialization preparation phase. Initial testing has been conducted, and further trials are needed to validate performance under different conditions and at industrial scale. We are seeking partners who can support testing, regulatory assessment, production scaling and market introduction.

QFP is looking for established companies in the food ingredients, post-harvest technology, fresh-produce processing and food preservation sectors that are interested in bringing this technology to market.

Our preferred cooperation model is technology licensing.
