HarvestFresh by Beko Mimics Sunlight in Order to Preserve Vitamins for Longer* and Keep Fruits and Vegetables as Fresh as the Day They Were Picked
BERLIN, Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

HarvestFresh harnesses innovative illumination technology to maintain vitamins 
in fresh produce

What if fruits and vegetables could remain as nutritious stored in the 
refrigerator as the day we bought them? Now, thanks to cutting edge technology 
from Beko, Europe's leading home appliances brand, they can. Today, at the 
world's largest consumer electronic fair, IFA in Berlin, Beko unveiled their 
HarvestFresh technology which will be available across a range of 
refrigerators. 
 
The innovative technology, developed for Beko fridges uses not one, but three 
effective colours (green, blue and red), which mimic the 24-hour sun cycle and 
natural sunlight. This combination will simulate the day light cycle – 
including times of darkness – to recreate a natural living environment for 
fruits and vegetables long after they have been harvested and purchased. 
Studies have shown that this technology has helped preserve vitamin A and 
vitamin C levels much longer.

By utilizing the power of varying light combination, fruits and vegetables are 
exposed to a natural way of preserving the vitamin, encouraging a healthier 
diet.

"At Beko, we believe passionately in creating new products and technologies 
that meet the wellbeing needs of today's consumer. We know that they do not 
always find it easy to eat healthily and are committed to doing all we can to 
make their lives easier and healthier," commented Zeynep Yalim Uzun, Chief 
Marketing Officer at Beko.

This development within the whitegoods market is just one step towards 
achieving Beko's mission of empowering the new generations to live healthier 
and providing accessible wellbeing for all their consumers. Another step they 
most recently took was the 'Eat Like a Pro' campaign in partnership with FC 
Barcelona and UNICEF, which set out to help prevent childhood obesity worldwide 
by inspiring children to make healthier food choices like their football heroes.

HarvestFresh will be available across selected lines from 2020. For more
