dc.description.abstractInnovative packaging that uses nanotechnology to lengthen the shelf life of soft fruits and a “Lucky Iron Fish” used to combat anemia, both from Guelph, are among 13 concepts showcased in an international “innovation marketplace” at the UN assembly. Biomedical science PhD student Gavin Armstrong displayed the Lucky Iron Fish, which has already won numerous innovation awards. The “fish” is a palm-sized chunk of iron placed into water being sterilized or boiled. It can help provide about 75 per cent of daily iron requirements and increase the body’s iron stores.en
