EnWave Announces 100% Organic Certification for Commercial
Licensee, Napa Mountain Spice Company
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 8, 2014) -
EnWave Corporation (TSX-VENTURE:ENW)(FRANKFURT:E4U) ("EnWave", or
the "Company") is pleased to announce that Napa Mountain Spice
Company ("Napa Mountain"), a commercial licensee of the Company,
has received the designation of 100% Organic Food Processing from
the State of California and a third party certifier, Organic
Certifiers, for their dehydration process that is built around
Radiant Energy Vacuum ("REV™") technology. A relatively small, but
increasing number of crops and processors are certified organic and
only a fraction of these are certified '100% Organic' in the United
States of America each year. Only products made entirely with
certified organic ingredients and methods can be labeled 100%
Organic.
Napa Mountain's
organic California bay leaves are handpicked and carefully dried to
ensure they maintain their integrity and essential oils for the
freshest flavor possible. By using EnWave's nutraREV®
machinery for their drying process, Napa Mountain maximizes the
flavor due to the low drying temperature created by EnWave's
patented technology. Since starting commercial production, Napa
Mountain has secured product approval from several key customers
and plans to continue aggressively marketing their improved product
line to a number of new potential customers throughout 2014 and
beyond.
"The EnWave system
allows us to gain further ground in all three of our target
priorities of process integrity and efficiency, superior product
quality and cost reduction," stated Mr. Paul Attard, President of
Napa Mountain. "We are now enabled to offer 100% Organic certified
products at conventional product pricing."
"Napa Mountain's
certification is a very encouraging development as it establishes
REV™ technology as a suitable process for the production of 100%
Organic products," stated Dr. Tim Durance, Chairman and Co-CEO of
EnWave. "This could attract additional interest from companies
operating in the growing organic food market."

About EnWave
EnWave Corporation
is a Vancouver-based industrial technology company developing
commercial applications for its proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum
(REV™) dehydration technology. EnWave aims to sign royalty-bearing
commercial licenses with leading food and pharmaceutical companies
for the use of its revolutionary technology. Thus far the Company
has signed commercial licenses with Bonduelle, a global leader in
the production of vegetables, for the processing of dehydrofrozen
vegetables; Hormel Food Corporation, a major processed meat
manufacturer, for the production of healthy dried meat products;
Milne Fruit Product, EnWave's first major licensee, for the
production of several dehydrated fruit and vegetable products in
the whole, fragmented and powdered form; a leading North American
enzyme company, to dehydrate a series of food-related enzymes for
their Tier 1 clients; and Napa Mountain Spice Company, to dry
high-quality California bay leaves. In addition to these licenses,
EnWave has formed a Limited Liability Partnership with Lucid
Capital Management to develop, manufacture, market and sell all-
natural cheese snack products in the United States under the Moon
Cheese® brand. Most recently, EnWave signed a commercial
royalty-bearing license with NutraDried Creations LLP to enable
them to aggressively market nutritious snack products to private
label customers in North America and Latin America.
Also, EnWave has
entered into a wide range of research and collaboration agreements
with an expanding list of multinational companies, including
Nestlé, Kellogg's, Grupo Bimbo, Grimmway Farms, Ocean Spray
Cranberries, Cherry Central, Sun-Maid Growers, Gay Lea Foods, R.J.
Reynolds and Merck. EnWave is introducing REV™ as a new dehydration
standard in the food and biological material sectors: potentially
faster and cheaper than freeze drying, with better end product
quality than air drying or spray drying.
EnWave currently has
six REV™ platforms: commercial-scale nutraREV® and MIVAP®
are used in the food industry to dry fruits, vegetables, meat,
herbs and seafood quickly and at low-cost, while maintaining high
levels of nutrition, taste, texture and colour. The Company is also
developing powderREV® for bulk dehydration of food
cultures, probiotics and fine biochemicals such as enzymes;
quantaREV™ for continuous, high-volume low-temperature
drying of pastes, gels, liquids, or particulates; and
bioREV™ and freezeREV™ as new methods to
stabilize and dehydrate biopharmaceuticals such as vaccines and
antibodies. More information about EnWave is available at
