Next Cooking Generation

Next Cooking Generation (NCG) aims to revolutionize the Food Service Equipment sector. The team has patented innovative technologies to address issues such as food safety, energy savings, and food resource scarcity in response to population growth (according to the FAO, the planet will host 9 billion people by 2050). NCG has patented an ultrasound-based system called *maturazione spinta©* (enhanced maturation), which is the core technology behind the *waveco®* device. The *maturazione spinta©* process of *waveco®* (a machine already launched on the market) extends the shelf life of food up to three times, allowing it to maintain its nutritional qualities without deteriorating. *waveco®* achieves this by significantly reducing bacterial load—something impossible with traditional technology. From a safety perspective, this is an outstanding result, considering that every year, 600 million people suffer from foodborne illnesses, and 420,000 die, including 125,000 children (Source: FAO and WHO). Moreover, NCG has made a significant impact on energy savings: 40 minutes of *maturazione spinta©* is equivalent to approximately 25 days of traditional maturation, resulting in at least 90% energy savings. Additionally, there is an improvement in perceived food quality (flavor, volume, and color). The maturation process can be considered an intermediate step between cooking and consuming raw food: with *waveco®*, food can be eaten simply "matured." The benefits extend beyond the environment and health. Using *waveco®* allows food industry professionals to reduce food costs by over 40%. The company is strongly focused on research and development and is currently designing *Krudo*, a food sanitization device. 🔑 Top 5 Keywords: Ultrasound Food Processing Sustainable Maturation Technology Food Safety & Shelf Life Extension Energy-Saving Kitchen Equipment Smart Food Service Innovation
