Iranian Foodstuff, Agricultural Industries Welcome Nanotechnology Packaging Bags

Tehran, Iran | Posted on April 18th, 2015

The bags significantly reduce the waste and loss of foodstuff and agricultural products during the conservation and transportation. The company claims that this technology enables the export of foodstuff and agricultural products to farther areas.

Baspar Pishrafteh Sharif Company was established in 2012 by a group of university graduates of Sharif University of Technology to help farmers, producers of foodstuff and the exporters active in this field. The products of the company are advanced packaging bags (active and smart) and advanced granules for the production of foodstuff packaging containers.

According to Dr. Rasoul Lesankhosh, the CEO of Baspar Pishrafteh Sharif Company, the products of the company have been presented to the market under the commercial name of Sapack. The products can control the environment inside the packaging bags and prevent the diffusion of gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide and ethylene.

"Among the other advantages of Sapack, mention can be made of humidity control and prevention of the growth of fungi and bacteria inside the bags. Therefore, the product can block the harmful ultraviolet light," he explained.

Sapack has so far been successfully used for the packaging of dried fruits, meat, chicken and fresh pistachio. In fact, Sapack has provided the possibility for exporting fresh pistachio for the first time to the Persian Gulf littoral Arab states.

Sapack increases the durability of foodstuff and agricultural products at least up to 60%. In some cases like the fresh pistachio, the durability increases up to 20 times.
