IXON today announced a groundbreaking milestone in food science: the successful development of the world’s first truly ambient-fresh apple. Engineered to remain shelf-stable at room temperature for months without cold chain logistics, the fruit perfectly retains the sharp crunch, vibrant golden opacity, and crisp orchard fragrance of a freshly cut apple.

The exceptionally dense, crisp texture and high sugar content of the Fuji apple—the industry's most rigorous benchmark and most commercially important variety—made it the ideal candidate for this research. IXON has successfully stabilized Fuji apples sourced from both Japan and China.

For decades, preserving cut apples without compromising sensory quality has been an elusive challenge. Sliced apples rapidly succumb to oxidation, while losing cellular turgor—the internal pressure creating their signature crunch. Traditional thermal processing inevitably collapses these delicate cell walls, resulting in a mushy texture and a heavy, baked "apple pie" aroma that betrays the expectation of raw fruit.

To overcome these hurdles, IXON’s research team deployed a multi-disciplinary approach anchored by the powerful synergy between its proprietary PhantomCure preservation system and Advanced Sous-vide Aseptic Packaging (ASAP) technology. By layering PhantomCure's advanced formulations to neutralize enzymatic browning and lock in cellular turgor, and simultaneously leveraging ASAP for hyper-precise thermal profiling within a high-barrier seal, IXON effectively paused natural decay while preserving the raw bite.

This precise cellular control yielded an extraordinary culinary benefit: the ability to consistently replicate the highly coveted Mitsu-iri or "honey core" effect. By leveraging PhantomCure's thermal precision, IXON naturally coaxes fruit sugars to concentrate in targeted zones, guaranteeing a pristine, intensely sweet center perfectly contrasted against the bright, crisp flesh in every package.

The commercial potential for the ambient-fresh category is disruptive, ranging from premium on-the-go snacking and foodservice to global export markets, emergency supplies, and expedition provisions—all previously constrained by the high costs of refrigerated transport.

"The ambient-fresh Fuji apple represents the natural evolution of our ongoing development in ambient-fresh agricultural produce," said Felix Cheung, Founder and CEO of IXON. "We began this journey by successfully developing stabilization techniques for delicate, high-value items—from black truffles and Chinese orchid roots to fruit corn. Mastering the apple was our next logical, albeit incredibly challenging, milestone."

IXON 今日宣佈一項突破性的食品科學里程碑：成功研發全球首款真正的「常鮮」蘋果。這款生果突破了傳統常溫保存的極限，無需依賴冷鏈物流，即可在室溫下保存數月，並完美保留了剛切開時的清脆口感、金黃色澤以及清新的果園香氣。

富士蘋果質地極為密實爽脆，且糖分極高，作為業界標準最嚴苛且最具商業價值的品種，自然成為我們這次研究的完美對象。IXON 現已成功將這項技術應用於產自日本及中國的富士蘋果。

數十年來，如何在不損害感官品質的情況下保存切件蘋果，一直是業界難以克服的挑戰。蘋果切開後會迅速屈服於氧化作用，同時流失維持清脆口感的細胞膨壓 (cellular turgor)。傳統的熱處理方法無可避免地會破壞脆弱的細胞壁，令蘋果變得軟爛，並產生出類似「蘋果批」的熟透氣味，完全失去新鮮生果應有的風味。

為了突破這些樽頸，IXON 的研發團隊採用了跨學科的策略，將我們專利的 PhantomCure 保鮮系統與先進低溫真空無菌包裝 (ASAP) 技術強大結合。透過 PhantomCure 先進的配方中和酵素褐變並鎖緊細胞膨壓，同時利用 ASAP 技術在高阻隔性密封包裝內進行極精準的溫度控制，IXON 成功在不影響生果爽脆口感的前提下，停止了蘋果的自然變質過程。

這種精準的細胞級控制帶來了驚人的美食突破：我們能夠穩定重現極受市場追捧的「糖心」效果。借助 PhantomCure 的精準控溫，IXON 能自然地引導果糖集中在特定區域，確保每一包「常鮮」蘋果都能呈現出完美、極致鮮甜的「糖心」，與周圍明亮清脆的果肉形成絕佳對比。

「常鮮」品類的商業潛力具備顛覆性，應用範圍涵蓋高級即食健康小食、餐飲服務，以至全球出口市場、應急物資及戶外探險補給——這些領域過往皆受制於冷藏運輸的高昂成本及物流限制。

IXON 創辦人兼行政總裁張文浩表示：「常鮮富士蘋果的誕生標誌著我們在常鮮農產品領域持續研發的自然成果。從黑松露、鮮天麻到水果粟米，我們一步步成功掌握了這些矜貴食材的保鮮技術。征服蘋果是我們下一個順理成章，但也極具挑戰性的里程碑。」

Hi everyone! This is Felix from IXON. I have a quick favor to ask, and it means the world to my team and me. I’ve just been selected as a Finalist for the Hong Kong SciTech Pioneers Award!

To be honest, in this day and age, fewer and fewer people are willing to invest their youth in hardtech—especially foodtech. It is an incredibly difficult path. But food is critical to human survival, and 10 years ago, my team and I decided to pour our hearts into solving a massive global problem: breaking humanity's reliance on energy-draining refrigerators and freezers.

It has been a crazy journey. When we first invented ASAP (Advanced Sous-vide Aseptic Packaging, our proprietary technique for keeping fresh food safe at room temperature for years), it only worked on whole-muscle cut meats like steak and pork chops. But we refused to stop there. We kept pushing and pushing the technology, and today, we are successfully applying it to seafood, fresh pet food, beverages, and even delicate fresh produce like corn, apples, and mushrooms!

Your vote isn't just about an award—it’s a much-needed "pat on the back." It tells us that this grueling 10-year deeptech journey is recognized, and it will give us the massive boost of energy we need to keep propelling this technology forward.

大家好！我係 IXON 嘅創辦人張文浩。今次想請大家幫個小忙，呢件事對我同我團隊真係好重要——我啱啱入圍咗「香港科技創新先鋒獎」嘅決賽！

老實講，喺呢個年代，真係越嚟越少人肯將青春投資喺「硬科技」上面，尤其係食品科技。呢條路真係行得好艱難。但係食物對人類生存實在太重要，所以喺十年前，我同團隊決定瞓身去做，希望解決一個全球性嘅大難題：徹底打破人類對高耗能雪櫃或冰格嘅依賴。

呢十年絕對係一段瘋狂嘅旅程。當我哋最初發明 ASAP 先進低溫真空無菌包裝技術 (Advanced Sous-vide Aseptic Packaging，一項可以令新鮮食物喺室溫下保鮮幾年嘅革命性技術) 嗰陣，佢淨係可以用喺牛排、豬排呢啲原塊肉類上面。但我哋冇停低腳步，一直死磕推動呢項技術。直到今日，我哋已經成功將 ASAP 應用到海鮮、新鮮寵物鮮食、飲品，甚至係粟米、蘋果同蘑菇呢啲嬌嫩嘅新鮮蔬果上面！

大家嘅一票對我哋嚟講，絕對唔單止係為咗贏一個獎項——佢更加係一個我哋極之需要嘅「拍拍膊頭」鼓勵。每一票都話俾我哋知，呢十年行得咁辛苦嘅深科技旅程係有人認可嘅，亦會畀到我哋好大嘅動力，繼續將呢項技術推向前。

****Editor's Note: IXON Founder and CEO Felix Cheung recently returned from Japan after participating in the Kickoff Week for the Hokkaido F Village X accelerator. Here, he shares his firsthand experience on why this unique ecosystem is the perfect launchpad for our technology.****

I finally got back to Hong Kong after an incredible two weeks in Japan, and I have to admit, my mind is still buzzing. During the first week, I was in Hokkaido, and I was there for the Kickoff Week of the Hokkaido F Village X (HFX) accelerator. Being chosen as the only Asian startup—and one of just eight out of a massive 245 applicants from 36 countries—was a huge honor for IXON. But honestly, it wasn't until I was actually walking the grounds and meeting the people involved that I truly grasped how special this platform is.

If you haven't heard of HFX, it is operated by Scrum Ventures and Scrum Studio, and it completely breaks the mold of a typical startup incubator. You are not just pitching to mentors; you are sitting across the table from decision-makers at corporate giants like Yamato Holdings, JTB, Tokyu Land, The Hokkaido Bank, NH Foods, and Hokkaido Gas.

And then there is the location itself. The program is based at the Hokkaido Ballpark F Village in Kitahiroshima City. Baseball is essentially Japan's national sport, and this massive 32-hectare site is built around the ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO. But calling it a "stadium" really doesn't do it justice. It is a brand new, state-of-the-art entertainment complex and a living, breathing mini-city that draws well over four million visitors annually. For a startup, that is an absolute dream. Instead of testing our tech in a sterile lab, we get to stress-test it against massive crowds, unpredictable weather shifts, and real-world logistics.

But it wasn't all just business meetings and pitches! Kitahiroshima City hosted an amazing welcome barbecue party for us, where we even played Suikawari—that classic Japanese game where you put on a blindfold, spin around, and try to smash a watermelon with a stick. The local food scene was a whole adventure of its own. I finally got to try melon soda, sweet corn ice cream, and the famously delicious, hot katsudon at Seicomart, a beloved convenience store chain that you can only find in Hokkaido. To top it all off, on our last evening, we were given tickets to watch the heroes of Hokkaido, the Nippon-Ham Fighters, face off against the Chiba Lotte Marines right inside ES CON FIELD. It was my first live baseball match, and experiencing the roaring energy of the fans firsthand made me truly realize the massive, dynamic scale of this "mini-city."

To help us navigate it all, HFX paired each startup with two to four "buddies." These were local Japanese university students from schools in the vicinity, like Hokkaido University. They were super friendly, incredibly young—mostly freshmen—and so eager to learn about frontier tech and entrepreneurship. Having their infectious energy around made the entire week feel incredibly vibrant.

What truly awakened me to the commercial potential here, though, is how heavily Kitahiroshima City is involved. They are practically betting their entire future on F Village and the power of innovation. Because the local government is so deeply invested, they strip away the usual bureaucratic red tape, allowing Proof of Concept (PoC) projects to happen with incredible speed. Just look at Pontosense, an AI-powered wireless sensing startup from last year's cohort that develops smart radar tech for human presence and vital sign monitoring. The city gave them incredible hands-on support for their PoC, which led to a 100% customer satisfaction rate and gave Pontosense the exact springboard they needed to expand their business across Japan. Seeing that track record makes me incredibly excited for our own pilot.

For a foodtech company like IXON, testing in Hokkaido makes perfect sense. This region is the agricultural heartland of Japan, producing some of the nation's absolute best premium goods. When you think of Hokkaido, you think of world-famous Yubari melons, rich dairy, uni (sea urchin), scallops, salmon, sweet corn, and asparagus. But getting these incredibly fresh, highly perishable foods out of Hokkaido and into global markets requires expensive, energy-guzzling cold-chain logistics.

That is exactly where our Advanced Sous-vide Aseptic Packaging (ASAP) technology comes in. By running our PoC in the dynamic environment of F Village, we can prove how we preserve that incredible Hokkaido freshness at room temperature. We are still a few months away from Demo Day in February 2027, but I cannot wait to dive in. Over the coming months, we will be working closely with Scrum Ventures, Kitahiroshima City, and our corporate partners to run a meaningful, measurable PoC. I truly believe we are on the verge of showing how ASAP can empower Hokkaido’s farmers, transform Japan's exports, and bring sustainable, cold-chain-free food to the rest of the world.

****編者按：IXON 創辦人兼行政總裁張文浩 (Felix) 日前前往日本，參與了 Hokkaido F Village X 加速器計劃的啟動週。在此，他親自撰文分享這趟旅程的所見所聞。****

我終於結束了在日本不可思議的兩週旅程回到香港。說實話，我現在的心情依然非常激動。在第一週，我身處北海道，參與了 Hokkaido F Village X (HFX) 加速器計劃的啟動週。IXON 能夠從 36 個國家、245 家申請企業中脫穎而出，成為今期 8 家入選企業中唯一的亞洲代表，絕對是一項巨大的榮譽。但老實說，直到我親身走進園區、與參與其中的各方代表交流後，我才真正體會到這個平台有多麼獨特。

如果您還沒有聽過 HFX，這個計劃是由 Scrum Ventures 及其子公司 Scrum Studio 營運，它徹底打破了傳統初創孵化器的模式。在這裡，你不是在向導師做簡報，而是直接與雅瑪多控股 (Yamato Holdings)、JTB、東急不動產 (Tokyu Land)、北海道銀行、日本火腿 (NH Foods) 以及北海道燃氣等日本頂尖企業巨頭的決策者並肩而坐、探討合作。

這個計劃的所在地更是令人驚嘆。HFX 以北廣島市的 Hokkaido Ballpark F Village 為大本營。棒球可以說是日本的「國民運動」，而這個佔地達 32 公頃的龐大園區正是圍繞著 ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO 棒球場而建。但如果只稱它為「棒球場」，那就太小看它了——它實際上是一個全新、世界級的娛樂綜合體，一個每年吸引超過 400 萬人次到訪、充滿活力的「微縮城市」！對於初創企業來說，這簡直是夢寐以求的測試場地。我們不需要在毫無生氣的實驗室裡進行測試，而是可以讓我們的技術在真實世界中，面對龐大的人潮、變幻莫測的天氣以及複雜的物流運作，進行最嚴格的壓力測試。

當然，這趟旅程並不只有嚴肅的商業會議！北廣島市政府特別為我們舉辦了一場超棒的迎新燒烤派對，我們甚至還玩了「打西瓜」（Suikawari）——就是那個蒙著眼睛、原地轉圈，然後憑直覺拿著木棍把西瓜砸碎的日本傳統遊戲。當地的美食同樣是一場大冒險，我終於嚐到了蜜瓜梳打、粟米雪糕，還有在只有北海道才有的連鎖便利店 Seicomart 裡，那款鼎鼎大名的熱騰騰招牌滑蛋豬扒飯。最令人難忘的是，在行程的最後一個晚上，大會特別安排了門票，讓我們親身走進 ES CON FIELD 觀賞「北海道英雄」日本火腿鬥士隊 (Nippon-Ham Fighters) 對陣千葉羅德海洋隊 (Chiba Lotte Marines) 的激烈賽事。這是我人生中第一場現場棒球賽，親身感受著全場球迷震耳欲聾的熱情，讓我真正體會到這座「微縮城市」的龐大規模與無窮潛力。

為了幫助我們更好地融入當地，HFX 還為每家初創企業配對了 2 到 4 位「Buddies」（夥伴）。這些 Buddies 都是來自北海道大學等鄰近院校的日本大學生。他們超級友善，大部分都是剛入學的年輕大一新生，而且對前沿科技和創業充滿了好奇心與熱情。有他們在身邊，讓整個啟動週充滿了不可思議的青春活力。

不過，真正讓我對這裡的商業潛力感到震撼的，是北廣島市政府的深度參與。他們幾乎將整個城市的未來都押注在 F Village 與創新科技之上。正因為當地政府的高度重視，他們打破了傳統的官僚繁文縟節，讓概念驗證 (PoC) 項目得以極速推進。以去年參與計劃的 Pontosense 為例，這是一家專注於研發 AI 無線感測與人體生命體徵監測技術的初創企業。市政府為他們的 PoC 提供了極其落地的支援，這不僅讓他們在測試期間獲得了 100% 的客戶滿意度，更為 Pontosense 在全日本擴展業務提供了完美的跳板。看到這樣的驕人往績，讓我對我們即將展開的試點項目感到無比興奮。

對於像 IXON 這樣的食品科技公司來說，在北海道進行測試是再完美不過的選擇。這裡是日本的農業心臟地帶，出產著全國最頂尖的農產品。一提到北海道，大家腦海中浮現的絕對是享譽全球的夕張哈密瓜、濃郁的北海道牛乳、海膽、帶子、三文魚、清甜的粟米以及蘆筍。然而，要將這些極其新鮮、極易腐壞的食材運出北海道並銷往全球市場，往往需要依賴昂貴且耗能的冷鏈物流。

這正是我們先進低溫真空無菌包裝 (ASAP) 技術的用武之地。透過在 F Village 這個充滿動力的環境中進行 PoC，我們能夠切實證明，我們的技術如何在常溫下完美鎖住北海道食材的極致新鮮。雖然距離 2027 年 2 月的 Demo Day 還有幾個月的時間，但我已經迫不及待想大展拳腳了。在接下來的幾個月裡，我們將與 Scrum Ventures、北廣島市政府以及各大企業合作夥伴緊密合作，開展具實質意義且可量化數據的 PoC 項目。我深信，我們即將向世界展示，ASAP 技術如何賦能北海道的農民、顛覆日本的出口模式，並為全球帶來免冷鏈的可持續食品未來。

On Thursday August 26, IXON was proudly featured on Japan’s national broadcaster, NHK News, during a special segment covering the "Hokkaido F Village X" (HFX) global accelerator program. The evening broadcast showcased IXON's technology as part of its coverage of the eight international startups selected from a highly competitive pool of 245 applicants across 36 countries.

The NHK news segment focused on the real-world applications of IXON's breakthrough preservation technology. During the broadcast, the news anchor detailed how IXON’s specialized process sterilizes food using 160°C heat before immediately sealing it, allowing highly perishable items like meat and vegetables to be safely stored at room temperature for approximately two years.

To showcase the real-world results of this technology, the NHK reporter sampled IXON's ambient fresh fruit corn on camera. Upon tasting it, he enthusiastically described the corn as shaki shaki—incredibly crisp, crunchy, and fresh—proving that shelf-stable food can deliver the exact same sensory experience as freshly harvested produce.

Furthermore, the NHK coverage emphasized two massive regional impacts IXON can bring to Japan. First, the technology can provide high-quality, long-lasting emergency food supplies that do not require refrigeration during natural disasters. Second, it empowers local farmers to export Hokkaido's renowned agricultural products, such as premium corn and meats, to international markets without the heavy cost of a cold chain.

Takuya Miyata, Representative of Scrum Ventures (the venture capital firm hosting the program), expressed his optimism during the segment: "We can create a tremendous impact by not only solving local challenges, but also unlocking Hokkaido's potential on a global scale. I have high expectations for these promising startups."

Moving forward, IXON will conduct on-site demonstration tests across Hokkaido to tackle these regional challenges. We look forward to presenting the results of these pilot projects alongside our fellow cohort members in February 2027.

2026 年 8 月 26 日星期四，IXON 獲日本國家廣播機構 NHK 晚間新聞的重點報導。該報導聚焦於「Hokkaido F Village X」(HFX) 全球加速器計劃，而 IXON 作為從全球 36 個國家、245 家申請企業中脫穎而出的 8 家獲選初創之一，其突破性的保鮮技術成為了節目的報導焦點。

NHK 的新聞報導深入剖析了 IXON 技術的龐大發展潛力。主播在節目中詳細介紹了我們的核心技術：透過 160°C 的高溫殺菌並迅速密封，即使是肉類和蔬菜等極易腐壞的食材，也能在常溫下安全保存長達兩年。

為親身驗證這項技術的成效，NHK 記者在鏡頭前試食了 IXON 的常溫保鮮水果粟米。品嚐後，他驚嘆粟米的口感「シャキシャキ」（爽脆多汁），這充分引證了常溫保鮮食品也能完美保留如同新鮮採摘般的口感與風味。

此外，報導更強調了 IXON 技術能為日本帶來的兩大深遠影響。首先，在應對自然災害時，該技術能提供無需冷藏、高品質且保質期極長的應急儲備糧食。其次，它能協助當地農民打破冷鏈物流的高昂成本限制，將粟米及肉類等北海道優質農產品直接出口至國際市場。

主辦是次計劃的風險投資機構 Scrum Ventures 代表宮田拓彌在受訪時表示：「我們期望不僅能解決地區痛點，更能將北海道的潛力推向世界，創造出巨大的影響力。我對這些極具潛力的初創企業寄予厚望。」

展望未來，IXON 將於北海道各地展開實地測試，致力解決當地的農業與物流挑戰。我們熱切期待在 2027 年 2 月，與其他初創團隊共同發表這些試點項目的豐碩成果。

IXON is thrilled to announce its selection for the second cohort of the "Hokkaido F Village X" (HFX) global accelerator program. Organized by the venture capital firm Scrum Ventures and its subsidiary Scrum Studio, the program is based at the Hokkaido Ballpark F Village in Kitahiroshima City, Japan.

The HFX program is highly competitive, attracting 245 startup applications from 36 countries for its second year. IXON is deeply honored to be chosen as one of just eight participating global startups, and proudly stands as the only selected company representing Asia.

Felix Cheung, founder and CEO of IXON, pitched IXON’s proprietary advanced sous-vide aseptic packaging (ASAP) and PhantomCure technology directly to major Japanese corporations, municipal partners, media, and investors. During his presentation, Felix outlined IXON's ambitious roadmap for the region: initiating a localized pilot project with the ultimate goal of establishing a state-of-the-art food processing hub in Hokkaido. This hub would empower local agriculture by allowing premium Hokkaido produce to be exported globally without the need for an expensive cold chain.

To demonstrate the real-world capabilities of IXON's technology—which achieves long-term preservation without preservatives or refrigeration while retaining taste, texture, and nutritional value—Felix hosted an exclusive tasting of the company's latest product development: ambient fresh fruit corn.

The demonstration was a resounding success. Media representatives, investors, and corporate partners were amazed by the exceptional juiciness and crunchiness of the corn, proving that shelf-stable food can deliver the exact same sensory experience as freshly harvested produce.

“Hokkaido produces some of the best food coming out of Japan, from corn, asparagus, potato, dairy, salmon to scallops,” says Felix. “We want to help farmers and agricultural processors export their best products worldwide without relying on a costly cold chain.”

IXON 欣然宣佈，公司已成功入選全球加速器計劃「Hokkaido F Village X」(HFX) 的第二期項目。該計劃由風險投資公司 Scrum Ventures 及其子公司 Scrum Studio 主辦，並以位於日本北海道北廣島市的 Hokkaido Ballpark F Village 為基地。

HFX 計劃競爭相當激烈，第二期共吸引了來自全球 36 個國家、合共 245 家初創企業報名參與。IXON 非常榮幸能成為最終獲選的 8 家全球初創企業之一，更是當中唯一代表亞洲的獲選公司。

IXON 創辦人兼行政總裁張文浩博士 (Felix Cheung) 向日本大型企業、地方政府合作夥伴、傳媒及投資者，親自展示了 IXON 專利的先進低溫真空無菌包裝 (ASAP) 及 PhantomCure 技術。在演講中，Felix 勾勒了 IXON 針對該地區的宏大發展藍圖：率先開展本地化試點項目，最終目標是在北海道建立一個先進的食品加工樞紐。該樞紐將賦能當地農業，讓北海道的優質農產品無需依賴昂貴的冷鏈物流，即可出口至全球各地。

為實際展示 IXON 技術的潛力——該技術能在不使用防腐劑或冷藏的情況下實現長期保存，同時完美保留食物的味道、口感及營養價值——Felix 舉辦了一場獨家試食會，讓與會者品嚐公司最新研發的產品：常溫保鮮水果粟米。

這次展示取得了空前成功。在場的傳媒代表、投資者及企業合作夥伴無一不對水果粟米極致的多汁與爽脆口感感到驚豔，這充分證明了常溫保鮮食品絕對能提供與新鮮採摘農產品完全一致的感官體驗。

「北海道盛產全日本最頂級的食材，涵蓋粟米、蘆筍、馬鈴薯、乳製品，以至三文魚和帆立貝等，」Felix 表示。「我們希望能協助農民及農業加工商，在無需依賴昂貴冷鏈物流的情況下，將他們最優質的產品出口至世界各地。」

At the HKTDC Food Expo PRO, Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan made a special visit to IXON’s booth to learn about the company's groundbreaking advancements in ambient food preservation. He was welcomed by Elton Ho, Co-founder and Chief Project Manager of IXON, who showcased the company's latest commercial innovations: ambient Chinese orchid root (Gastrodia elata) products, ambient fresh pet food, and ambient pet catering products.

During the visit, Elton detailed IXON’s remarkable journey. As a homegrown Hong Kong foodtech company, IXON has spent the past 13 years developing a one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art technology capable of keeping meat, seafood, and ready meals fresh at room temperature for up to two years without compromising texture or nutrition.

Elton explained how this proprietary technology is now being applied to the rapidly growing fresh pet food sector, creating a new standard of human-grade, room-temperature pet catering. Beyond the pet sector, IXON is actively utilizing its technology to empower mainland Chinese farmers. By successfully preserving delicate, premium agricultural goods—such as Chinese orchid roots and black truffles—without the need for an expensive cold chain, IXON is giving these farmers the unprecedented ability to export their high-value crops all over the world.

Sharing his long-term vision with the Financial Secretary, Elton emphasized IXON’s commitment to the local economy. "We want to help Hong Kong become a premier food processing hub for mainland China," Elton stated. "By leveraging our advanced technology to empower premium agricultural exports, we have the potential to create a completely new economy for Hong Kong."

在 HKTDC 美食商貿博覽 (Food Expo PRO) 期間，香港財政司司長陳茂波親臨 IXON 的展位，深入了解該公司在常溫保鮮技術上的突破性發展。IXON 聯合創辦人兼首席項目總監何耀權親自接待，並向司長展示了公司最新的創新產品，包括常溫保鮮天麻產品、常溫鮮寵糧以及常溫寵物鮮食系列。

參觀期間，何介紹了 IXON 的發展歷程。作為一家香港本土的食品科技公司，IXON 在過去 13 年來一直致力於研發一項獨一無二的頂尖技術，成功讓肉類、海鮮及即食餐在無需冷藏的室溫環境下，保鮮期長達兩年，且完美保留食物的質地與營養。

何解釋，這項專利技術目前正應用於增長極為迅速的鮮寵糧市場，打造出達人類食用級別的常溫寵物鮮食新標準。除了寵物市場，IXON 亦正積極運用該技術協助中國內地農民。透過將天麻和黑松露等極其嬌嫩的優質農產品進行常溫保鮮，IXON 成功打破了昂貴冷鏈物流的限制，賦予內地農民將高價值農產出口至世界各地的能力。

在向財政司司長分享其長遠願景時，何強調了 IXON 對推動本地經濟的承諾：「我們希望能協助香港發展成為中國內地農產品的先進食品加工樞紐。透過善用我們的先進技術助力優質農產品出海，我們絕對有潛力為香港創造出一股全新的經濟動力。」

IXON has announced the launch of the world’s first line of ambient fresh Tianma (Chinese orchid root) products. The groundbreaking new line will make its official debut with exclusive free tastings at the upcoming HKTDC Food Expo PRO, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) from August 13–15, 2026.

Historically revered in traditional medicine, the orchid root is notoriously difficult to process without destroying its delicate texture and potent nutritional profile. Conventional shelf-stable products rely on extreme high-heat retort sterilization, which completely degrades the root into a soft, nutrient-depleted mush.

Leveraging IXON’s proprietary Advanced Sous-vide Aseptic Packaging (ASAP) technology, the company has successfully bypassed the need for retort processing. For the first time ever, consumers can enjoy shelf-stable Tianma that fully retains the refreshing, nashi pear-like crunchy texture of the freshly harvested plant, without the need for refrigeration.

The new product line features two flagship offerings:

- Orchid Root in Osmanthus Honey: A ready-to-eat, delicately sweet delicacy showcasing the root's signature crunch.

- Sweet Orchid Cream: A delicious, versatile blend of orchid root with condensed milk and coconut oil, resulting in an innovative cream as smooth as traditional lotus seed paste but significantly lighter.

Preserving the Power of Gastrodin
Because IXON's technology avoids extreme heat, the products retain exceptionally high levels of Gastrodin, the primary active compound found in the plant. Gastrodin is backed by extensive research for a long list of functional health benefits, including:

- Alleviating migraines and chronic headaches

- Reducing vertigo and dizziness

- Improving sleep quality and treating insomnia

- Providing neuroprotective effects and enhancing memory and cognitive function

- Reducing anxiety and exhibiting natural antidepressant properties

- Lowering blood pressure and supporting cardiovascular health

- Delivering powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects

The Next "Matcha" Wave
With modern consumers increasingly seeking out foods that offer both exotic flavor profiles and functional health benefits, IXON sees massive global potential for its Silken Orchid Cream.

"We believe this has the exact same trajectory as matcha," said Dr. Felix Cheung, Founder and CEO of IXON. "Matcha started as a traditional Asian ingredient and transformed into a global culinary and wellness phenomenon. With our new Silken Orchid Cream, chefs and beverage creators can introduce this unique, earthy-sweet flavor into lattes, pastries, and modern desserts, all while delivering the incredible neuroprotective and calming benefits of Gastrodin. We are positioning this to be the next major superfood wave across Asia and beyond."

Industry professionals, media, and buyers are invited to experience the unprecedented nashi pear-like crunch and sample the new Silken Orchid Cream at IXON’s booth during the HKTDC Food Expo PRO. Free tastings will be available throughout the event.

IXON 宣佈正式推出全球首創的常溫保鮮天麻系列產品。這項具突破性的全新產品線，將於 2026 年 8 月 13 至 15 日在香港會議展覽中心舉行的 HKTDC 美食商貿博覽首度亮相，並於展覽期間提供獨家免費試食。

天麻自古以來被視為珍貴的傳統醫學食材，但其加工過程極具挑戰性，極易破壞其嬌嫩的質地及強大的營養價值。傳統的常溫保存產品往往依賴極端高溫的商業無菌技術，這會將天麻完全降解成軟爛且營養流失的糊狀物。

憑藉 IXON 專利的 ASAP 先進低溫真空無菌包裝技術，公司成功繞過了高溫殺菌的需要。這項技術史無前例地讓消費者能夠享用到無需冷藏、且完美保留了新鮮採摘天麻那種猶如豐水梨般清爽爽脆口感的常溫天麻。

全新產品線主打兩款特色產品：

- 桂花蜜餞天麻：一款即開即食、帶有淡淡清甜的精緻佳餚，完美呈現天麻標誌性的爽脆口感。

- 天麻蓉：一款美味且用途廣泛的產品，將天麻與煉奶及椰子油完美融合，造就出這款創新天麻蓉，其口感如傳統蓮蓉般幼滑，但卻顯著更為輕盈。

保留天麻素的強大功效
由於 IXON 的技術避免了極端高溫，產品得以保留極高濃度的天麻素 —— 即天麻中最核心的活性成分。大量廣泛的科學研究證實，天麻素具備一系列功能性健康功效，包括：

- 舒緩偏頭痛及慢性頭痛

- 減少眩暈及頭暈症狀

- 提升睡眠質素及治療失眠

- 提供神經保護作用，增強記憶力及認知功能

- 減輕焦慮，並展現天然的抗抑鬱特性

- 降低血壓，支持心血管健康

- 提供強大的抗發炎及抗氧化功效

下一個「抹茶」熱潮
隨著現代消費者越來越積極尋求兼具異國風味及功能性健康效益的食品，IXON 預見其「天麻蓉」在全球市場擁有龐大的發展潛力。

IXON 創辦人兼行政總裁張文浩博士表示：「我們深信這產品具備與抹茶完全相同的發展軌跡。抹茶最初只是一種傳統的亞洲食材，如今已演變成全球烹飪及健康領域的現象級熱潮。透過我們全新的天麻蓉，廚師和飲品研發人員可以將這種獨特的泥土清甜風味融入拿鐵、糕點及現代甜品之中，同時為食客帶來天麻素令人難以置信的護腦及安神功效。我們正致力將其打造成席捲亞洲甚至全球的下一波超級食物重大熱潮。」

我們誠邀業界專業人士、傳媒及買家蒞臨 HKTDC 美食商貿博覽的 IXON 展位，親身體驗史無前例的豐水梨般爽脆口感，並品嚐全新的天麻奶霜。展覽期間將全天候提供免費試食。
