TruLeaf Sustainable Agriculture Ltd ("TruLeaf", Bedford, Nova Scotia), specialising in in-door farming, isinterested to explore new strategies to extend the shelf-life of their products ready-to-eat/use baby green andmicrogreen products, which are susceptible to tissue injury and microbial growth during transportation. Bymanipulating the in-door growing conditions, exploiting different parts/blends of vegetables strategicallyselected from Brassicaceae family, and deploying bioactive volatiles, this project aims at developing apreservation system based on natural preservative to extend product shelf-life and increase productstability/yield. Besides benefiting TruLeaf, the envisaged technology will also benefit other Canadian vegetableproducers in producing high quality and safe ready-to-eat vegetables, which is an essential component of diet tomaintain good health. By extending product shelf-life to reduce product waste, the increased revenue will allowTruLeaf to expand their competitiveness in the marketplace.

TruLeaf Sustainable Agriculture Ltd（“TruLeaf”，贝德福德，新斯科舍省），专门从事室内农业，有兴趣探索新的策略，以延长其产品的保质期即食/使用婴儿绿色和微型绿色产品，这些产品在运输过程中容易受到组织损伤和微生物生长。本项目旨在通过控制室内生长条件，利用从兰科植物中选择的不同部分/混合物，并利用生物活性挥发物，开发基于天然防腐剂的防腐系统，以延长产品货架期，提高产品稳定性/产量。除了有利于TruLeaf，设想的技术还将有利于加拿大其他蔬菜生产商生产高质量和安全的即食蔬菜，这是保持良好健康的饮食的重要组成部分。通过延长产品保质期以减少产品浪费，增加的收入将使TruLeaf扩大其在市场上的竞争力。
