The present invention relates to a material suitable for use in packages comprising nano-sized cellulose and an ethylene scavenging or ethylene absorbing agent. The invention also relates to methods for manufacturing such material, which may be paper, label, paperboard, plastic or film products.

Stabilized skin care compositions are described. The compositions comprise a component that yields a product of oxidation and the component is stabilized with a radical scavenger and/or a peroxide decomposer.

A method for treating a substrate with a volatile liquid, crop-preservative formulation includes transporting a predetermined quantity of the formulation from a reservoir to an injection device and applying the predetermined quantity to the substrate. The substrate may thereafter be in proximity to a crop to be treated by the vapor from the formulation. The substrate is most conveniently a portion of a container in which the crop is stored or shipped.

A fresh drawer and a refrigerator using same. The fresh drawer comprises: a drawer body, wherein a storage chamber for storing food is provided inside the drawer body, and the storage chamber is of an openable sealed structure; a gas supplier, used for providing fresh-keeping gas for the storage chamber; and a pressure balancer, used for balancing air pressure inside the storage chamber. In the fresh drawer and the refrigerator using same, air in an inner storage chamber is replaced with fresh-keeping gas such as nitrogen and oxygen, to provide a modified atmosphere for a food storage space, such that the shelf life of food can be greatly extended.

A process for reducing microbial growth in solutions of sugars extracted from waste materials, the process comprising monitoring indicators of microbial growth in the solution in situ and administering an antimicrobial; a sugar substrate obtained by concentrating a solution of sugar treated using the process; an apparatus for extracting sugars from waste materials, the apparatus comprising a reaction vessel (10), one or more sensors (15,20) for monitoring indicators of microbial growth in the reaction vessel, a software for analysing signals from the sensor and a source of antimicrobial.
