O2Avalanche
An electrical pre-harvest treatment system for tropical fruit exporters that triggers cascading oxygen-release reactions in fruit tissue, extending shelf life by 3-4x and eliminating surface pathogens without chemicals. Solves the $2B annual loss from durian and similar high-value fruits spoiling during international export.
The Wow Moment
A durian exporter dips a batch of fruit into the O2Avalanche chamber, watches the real-time oxygen saturation graph spike to 98%, and 21 days later opens containers in Europe to find fruit perfectly ripe—zero spoilage, no cold chain, no chemicals—the buyer texts 'impossible' before placing double the order.
