Giselle is an EPA-approved mobile system for use in individual food venues, processors and outlets.
It can replace other cleaning practices which are not effective against all viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores and does not leave harmful residue on food.
The system dispenses a sanitising sodium hypochlorite solution named Soleva. The solution is made from salt and tap water which are transformed by an electrochemical reaction, and dispensed from a specially-designed spray bottle.
Luca Buonerba, De Nora global chief marketing and business development officer, said it aims to provide a solution for sanitisation that can improve the quality and safety of food.
“Improving food safety requires more effective sanitisation of the different surfaces, tools and equipment that come in contact with the food. De Nora’s sodium hypochlorite Soleva solution kills all bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores that can migrate onto food products, causing illnesses.
“The solution can also be used to sanitise foods that have previously come in contact with soil, and reduce reliance on pesticides.”
Buonerba added with Asia’s food industry projected to achieve a year-on-year growth of 11% this year, the importance of food safety and sanitisations will be further amplified.
“The growth of personal technology has made it possible for consumers to have almost everything they need at their fingertips,” he said.
“Tapping on this growth, we have harnessed our expertise and leadership in the electrochemical cell technology space into the extremely compact and small-sized Giselle unit.
“With Giselle, the transport, handling and storage of chemicals are also limited to small cartridges of sodium chloride. The production of plastic and waste is also dramatically reduced, making it better and safer for the environment.”
Including production facilities, sales offices and technical assistance, De Nora has 20 locations in 11 countries with three R&D centers in Italy, USA and Japan.
