PomegranateNew pomegranate technology
Hefestus of Israel has created a technology to improve pomegranate shelf-life. Hefestus' technology takes a complete pomegranate and, with water and sound-wave technology, separates the peel from the arils as well as separating them from the paper-thin white membrane surrounding seed clusters. The technology enables the release of a natural preservative from the skin, which coats each seed and provides natural anti-rancidity protection. To achieve optimal long-lasting shelf life, Hefestus also can pack the fruit in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) via a new, patented method of sealing trays with modified atmosphere (MAP technology) called SLB — Shelf Life Booster. SLB is the best alternative for vacuum packaging, extending shelf life without using synthetic preservatives.

The juice retains the nutritional benefits lost in regular coffee when the beans are roasted, its maker says.
