Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by moulds that thrive in warm, humid environments – exactly the conditions needed to preserve fresh produce. These invisible threats can contaminate food, leading to spoilage, health risks, and significant economic losses.

XtendaMaX offers an innovative solution to combat this challenge. Specifically designed for high-humidity environments, XtendaMaX actively eliminates airborne mould spores, reducing the risk of mycotoxin contamination while maintaining the moisture levels essential for preserving fresh food. By purifying the air and preventing cross-contamination, XtendaMaX ensures a safer, cleaner storage environment.

With XtendaMaX, you can protect your produce, reduce waste, and safeguard your bottom line – all while maintaining the optimal humidity levels needed for fresh food preservation.

And here's a longer version...

Mycotoxins, those unseen and often undetectable toxins produced by moulds, pose a persistent threat to the fresh food industry. While diligent practices can mitigate their formation, the high-humidity environments crucial for preserving fresh produce often inadvertently create ideal conditions for mould growth and subsequent mycotoxin production.

The High-Humidity Paradox:

Maintaining optimal humidity levels is essential for preventing moisture loss and preserving the quality of fresh fruits, vegetables, and other perishables. However, this creates a paradox: the very conditions that extend shelf life also encourage the growth of moulds that produce harmful mycotoxins.

Understanding the Mycotoxin Threat:

• Health risks: Mycotoxins can cause a range of adverse health effects in humans and animals, from immune suppression to liver and kidney damage, and even cancer.

• Economic losses: Contamination leads to rejected produce, spoilage, and costly recalls, impacting profitability for producers, processors, and retailers.

• Trade barriers: Strict international regulations on mycotoxin levels can restrict market access and trade.

• Airborne transmission: Mould spores, the source of mycotoxins, easily spread through the air, contaminating entire storage and processing facilities.

Addressing the challenge with XtendaMaX:

XtendaMaX offers a targeted solution to address the unique challenges of mycotoxin prevention in high-humidity environments. Our XMX technology is specifically designed for use in these conditions, providing continuous protection against mould growth and airborne contamination.

• Engineered for high-humidity: XtendaMaX is built to withstand and perform effectively in the high-humidity environments required for fresh food preservation.

• Airborne mould spore elimination: XtendaMaX actively destroys airborne mould spores, preventing them from settling on produce and initiating new mould growth.

• Reduced cross-contamination: By continuously purifying the air, XtendaMaX minimises the risk of spreading contamination from one area to another within storage and processing facilities.

• Complementary action: XtendaMaX supplements existing humidity control measures by creating a cleaner environment that minimises or even stops mould growth.

Why choose XtendaMaX?

• Specialised design: Unlike generic air purification systems, XtendaMaX is specifically designed for the fresh food industry and the challenges of high-humidity environments.

• Comprehensive protection: XtendaMaX targets airborne mould spores, reducing the risk of mycotoxin contamination at its source.

• Safe and sustainable: Our XMX technology operates without harsh chemicals, providing a safe and environmentally friendly solution for food preservation.
