with the current industry standard in food dehydration, freeze drying, and is designed to require approximately one-third of the energy of freeze drying with one-sixth the capital cost. nutraREV(TM) also dries food in minutes or hours rather than days. Based on EnWave's pre-commercial test results with a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs, nutraREV(TM)-dried products also retain excellent colour, flavour and texture, with similar nutrients and shelf-life to freeze drying, and at a variety of moisture contents as required by the target market.

EnWave selected blueberries as the first market for commercial-scale nutraREV(TM) technology because of the volume of the fresh and frozen product available locally. EnWave's nutraREV(TM) is also capable of producing shelf-stable, "puffed" blueberries, which is a major improvement compared to conventional freeze-dried blueberries which typically collapse into a raisin-like appearance. Over the short-term, the Company will now pursue the North American market for dehydrated tomatoes, potatoes, onions, herbs, blueberries, cranberries, strawberries and sour cherries. The combined size of these markets is estimated at USD$1.2 billion. Over the longer-term, EnWave will search for a global manufacturing and distribution partner to provide service and support for the machines.

CAL-SAN will now continue the process of building a global wholesale and retail distribution network for the sale of their high-value, dried blueberry products which can be used as snack foods and as ingredients for cereals, energy bars and baking. The company plans to expand into other dried fruit product areas and will consider increasing their plant operations in the future to support market growth. Dave Sandhu, President of CAL-SAN Enterprises, stated that "nutraREV(TM) gives the market a major advancement in food dehydration technology, and I truly believe that it will revolutionize the value-added food processing sector."
