EnWave Provides Progress Update On Advanced Development Project With US Army To Create Nutrient Rich Field Rations

Jan 29th 18, 09:11

EnWaveCorporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce thatit has achieved a series of positive product development results in partnershipwith the US Army Natick Soldier R&D Center (“US Army”) as part of a projectto create superior, phytonutrient-rich field rations for soldiers in the field.

Protein is a readily available source of nourishment for field soldiers however, the highly perishable nature of fruits and vegetables presented a challenge for the US Army. By comparison to traditional dehydration techniques, Dr. Tom Yang, leading food technologist forthe US Army, has capitalized on the unique solution that EnWave’s innovative Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV^TM) technology provides. By using the Company’s REV^TM technology, nutrient-rich rations can be provided to field soldiers in high volumes, with a longer shelf life, without compromise to food quality or soldier performance.

Furthermore, Dr. Yang believes the initial effort has only scratched the surface for future possibilities. Thej oint project between EnWave and the US Army has brought together government,academia and industry to advance the US Army’s objective of creating new innovativefield rations for soldiers. All contracted work is taking place at EnWave’spilot plant facility in Vancouver, Canada. With the first phase of positiveresults achieved, the US Army and EnWave plan to continue in the project withthe ultimate goal of employing REV^TM on a commercial basis for theproduction of soldier field rations.

The innovation and success of the Company’songoing project with US Army is highlighted by the recently published articleby NSRDEC Public Affairs entitled “Natick’s compressed “Salad Bar” is tip ofthe iceberg in Soldier food revolution.” This article can be accessed via the following web address: https://www.army.mil/article/199240/naticks_compressed_salad_bar_is_tip_of_the_iceberg_in_soldier_food_revolution

About EnWave

EnWave Corporation, a Vancouver-basedadvanced technology company, has developed Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) – aninnovative, proprietary method for the precise dehydration of organicmaterials. REV™ technology’s commercial viability has been demonstrated and isgrowing rapidly across several market verticals in the food, cannabis, andpharmaceutical sectors. EnWave’s strategy is to sign royalty-bearing commerciallicenses with industry leaders in multiple verticals for the use of REV™technology. The company has signed over twenty royalty-bearing licenses todate, opening up nine distinct market sectors for commercialization of new andinnovative products. In addition to these licenses, EnWave has formed a LimitedLiability Partnership, NutraDried LLP, to develop, manufacture, market and sellall-natural cheese snack products in the United States under the Moon Cheese^®brand.

EnWave has introduced REV™ as the newdehydration standard in the food and biological material sectors: faster andcheaper than freeze drying, with better end product quality than air drying orspray drying. EnWave currently has three commercial REV™ platforms:

1. nutraREV^®which is used in the food industry to dry food products quickly and atlow-cost, while maintaining high levels of nutrition, taste, texture andcolour;
2. powderREV^®which is used for the bulk dehydration of food cultures, probiotics and finebiochemicals such as enzymes below the freezing point, and
3. quantaREV^®which is used for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying.

An additional platform, freezeREV^®, is beingdeveloped as a new method to stabilize and dehydrate biopharmaceuticals such asvaccines and antibodies. More information about EnWave is available at www.enwave.net.
