What Is Wasaouro®?
|
|
Wasaouro® is a material that ingeniously employs the antibacterial and antifungal powers found in nature to extend the freshness of foods.
Used for over 1000 years in the preparation of a variety of foods such as sushi and sashimi, wasabi (or Japanese horseradish) is known the world over as a Japanese condiment with a rich flavour and invigorating bite. In addition to its affinity with the Japanese palate, wasabi has another special trait: it possesses an antibacterial action that curbs the growth of bacteria and prevents the formation of mould on foods. Specifically, the volatile oil contained in wasabi Ñ a substance known as allyl mustard oil Ñ has a scientifically proven potent antibacterial action which can be used to extend the shelf-life of foodstuffs and similar materials. The antibacterial agent Wasaouro® is the product of a research and development project that employed the latest technology and expertise to harness the antimicrobial activity of allyl mustard oil for the purpose of foodstuff preservation.
Wasaouro® is currently used extensively in the areas of product quality maintenance and sanitary management for food products.

The Role of Wasaouro® in a Total Sanitation System
|
|
- Hygienic protection of the manufacturing site
Prevents surface contamination of food products through adhesion of airborne bacteria.
- Hygienic protection of the end product
Even in the event of bacterial adherence, prevents putrefaction and lowers risk of food poisoning by preventing bacterial proliferation.
As Wasaouro®'s effective ingredient is itself a food additive, it is the ideal material for a total sanitation management system that starts working at the site of manufacture and continues doing so until the product is on the customer's table.
