The countertop appliance works by having containers filled with fresh ingredients placed inside where it will increase its shelf life by two-times thanks to [vacuum sealing technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacuum-sealer-pro). The system also harnesses the power of UV-C sterilization technology to eradicate mold or bacteria that can contribute towards food spoilage. The Uvera 'Aurora' smart food preserver has a connected design to let users monitor it from their smartphone. The system only requires 30-seconds to perform the vacuum sealing and sterilization to make it as easy as possible for consumers to utilize. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 13% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Food Preservers:** Developing smart appliances that can preserve food for longer periods, eradicating food spoilage. - **UV-C Technology in Kitchen Appliances:** Exploring the use of UV-C technology in kitchen appliances to prevent mold or bacteria buildup that can cause food spoilage. - **Vacuum Sealing Technology in Appliances:** Researching on the use of vacuum sealing technology in kitchen appliances to increase the shelf life of fresh produce. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliances:** Manufacturers can focus on developing smart appliances with vacuum sealing technology, targeted towards home consumers. - **Food Packaging:** Innovating new packaging methods that can be utilized in a vacuum sealing appliance to maximize the freshness of foods. - **Food Retailers:** Partnering with food preserver manufacturers to package and distribute fresh produce through vacuum sealed packaging methods to increase produce longevity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Food-Disinfecting Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/countertop-food-storage-device.md) - [Ultraviolet Food Storage Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraviolet-food-storage.md) - [Food Preservation Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beko.md) - [Vacuum-Powered Food Processing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacuum-food-processor.md) - [UV Tech Storage Lids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartlid.md) - [Smart Fridge Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelfy.md) - [Smart Food Storage Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silo.md) - [Green Produce-Preserving Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshworks-produce-saver.md) - [Refrigerator Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-shelf-life-extender.md)
