Jun Innovations Inc

Jun Innovations Inc. is a Honolulu-based startup that develops proprietary supercooling technology to preserve perishable materials without the formation of ice crystals. The company's technology utilizes a combination of pulsed electric and oscillating magnetic fields to re-orient and vibrate water molecules within a substance. By interrupting critical ice nucleation, this process allows food and biological samples to be maintained in a supercooled state at subzero temperatures, effectively preserving their original texture, taste, nutritional value, and cellular structure.

This innovation offers significant benefits for the food industry by extending the shelf life of products like meat, fish, and produce while eliminating thawing time for consumers. Beyond food preservation, the company is actively researching broader applications for its technology, including the improvement of probiotic manufacturing and potential uses in biomedical fields, such as vaccine storage and the extension of organ viability for transplantation. Founded by Dr. Soojin Jun, a professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, the company focuses on developing commercially viable supercooling units and licensing its patented solutions to industry partners.
