KES Science & Technology, Inc. (KES), a leading global provider and
innovator of postharvest preservation technology, announces Albert’s
Organics will now utilize the NASA-developed AiroCide PPT Food Safety air
sanitation technology. Because airborne cross-contamination poses a
potential threat to food safety, the chemical-free AiroCide system, which
kills airborne mold, fungi, bacteria and viruses as well as removes
volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), like ethylene gas, provides added
protection to enhance quality assurance programs.
Albert’s Organics has been a pioneer in the organic fresh foods industry
since opening their doors in 1982. Since then they have grown to become
America’s largest, most knowledgeable organic fresh foods specialist with
distribution centers in California, Colorado, Florida, New Hampshire,
Minnesota, New Jersey and coming next month to North Carolina. They
deliver to all major metropolitan cities, most regions in the continental
U.S., and to many areas in Canada.
Albert’s Organics was the first Certified Organic distributor with nationwide
coverage. This gives them the ability to trace any product sold through
their distribution channels back to its source. They are inspected
annually by Quality Assurance International (QAI) to maintain our
Certified Organic status.
Albert's Organics maintains an in-stock status of over 350 seasonal
fruits and vegetables and other organic perishables in our distribution
centers providing product to 5000 natural food stores, supermarkets and
restaurants across America.
Scott Dennis, Albert’s VP of Business Development, explained that they
decided on the AiroCide Food Safety Air Sanitation technology because it
has a proven track record of delivering on its promise. “We believe it is
the finest Food Safety Sanitation system using the most state-of-the-art
technology,” according to Dennis.

The AiroCide technology is not a filtration system. The patented
technology, integrated with Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO), works in
unison to destroy harmful airborne microbes and dismantle volatile
organic compounds (VOC), like ethylene gas. Clinical studies show a 99%
plus kill rate for microbials and removal of VOC’s. The AiroCide
technology is a FDA listed class II medical device that is also used the
medical health care industry. AiroCide is energy efficient, as it was
originally designed for the NASA space station program to successfully
conduct astroculture experiments that required air free of mold spores and
ethylene gas.
AiroCide PPT is manufactured and distributed by Atlanta, GA. based KES
Science and Technology, Inc. KES has supplied the grocery and other
food industries with perishable preservation technologies for more than
20 years. For more information please visit www.KesScience.com or www.airocide.com or contact Jimmy
