Food Waste-Produced Antimicrobial Agents

N&E Innovations calls attention to its proprietary substance called ViKang, an antimicrobial agent derived from repurposed food waste. This versatile additive can be easily integrated into various commercial and consumer goods, including surface coatings for kitchens, food packaging materials like cling wrap and containers, and long-lasting sprays for the hospitality industry.

N&E Innovations states that its antimicrobial agent eliminates a high percentage of common microbes and significantly extends the freshness of food products. Safety is also top of mind for the company, and as such, ViKang is marketed as being free from heavy metals and toxic chemicals. The product is certified as safe for skin contact and even ingestion.

N&E Innovations highlights the environmental benefits of its upcycled antimicrobial agent, which includes a claimed reduction in carbon emissions compared to conventional disinfectants.
