Fridge Buddy Works Wonders in the Fridge in More Ways than One

Announcement posted by Fridge Buddy 28 May 2013

What is Fridge Buddy? Fridge Buddy is the natural way to keep products fresh in the fridge, and by doing so, save money. The filter in Fridge Buddy contains a 100% natural mineral found only in the Mojave Desert in California that keeps products in the fridge fresher for longer. The active mineral ensures a drier and fresher climate by absorbing excess moisture, odours, bacteria and ethylene gas that age perishable foodstuffs. Anyone investing in one of these innovative filters will find they are saving a considerable amount of money each week by keeping their food fresher for longer, thereby cutting down on food wastage. So, the small amount invested in a Fridge Buddy filter is more than paid back by the money saved with the reduction in food wastage.

Fridge Buddy reduces the amount of ethylene gas, often referred to as the ageing hormone, which is released by ripening fruit and vegetables into the fridge environment. This invisible gas is re-absorbed by the fruit and vegetables, which contributes to the ageing and ripening process even further. Then ethylene gas is floating around in the fridge, it attaches itself to moisture particles in the air. When those moisture particles pass through the Fridge Buddy filter they are trapped and held, thus removing the ethylene gas from the fridge environment. The result is food that stays fresher for longer.

Another problem encountered with keeping food fresh in the fridge is food odours. These are always present in the fridge, particularly the strong odours in vegetables such as onions and some types of cheeses. Food odours, like ethylene gas, are just particles floating around in the fridge and similarly attach themselves to the moisture particles. When those moisture particles in the air pass through the Fridge Buddy filter, they are trapped and held, thus removing the odours from the fridge environment. The result is a cleaner smelling fridge. By eliminating the ethylene gas and fridge odours, Fridge Buddy creates the best possible storage environment for food, making it last longer and stay fresher.

It is very important to have the right amount of moisture in the air to keep produce fresh. Too little moisture and the food will dry out too much and the food becomes damp and soggy. The unique chemical composition of the mineral means that it is always striving to live in conditions between 80% to 90% relative humidity.  In order to maintain those levels, the mineral will absorb and desorb moisture in the air. Harmful bacteria and gases attach themselves to the moisture particles and these are also absorbed and held by the mineral, thus removing them from the fridge environment. The result is a cleaner, drier and fresher fridge environment, with just the right amount of moisture to extend the peak freshness of the food.
