EnWave Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ENW)(FRANKFURT:E4U) ("EnWave", or the "Company")
announced today it has signed a Market Development Agreement (the "Agreement")
with Milne Fruit Products Inc. ("Milne") to collaborate on the commercial
advancement of three additional products including dried cherries, strawberries
and carrot using the Company's patented Radiant Energy Vacuum ("REV")
technology. 


Milne, a proven innovator in the North American food space, has vigorously
marketed their MicroDried(TM) product line since their plant start-up in
December 2011 at their production facility in Nampa, Idaho. Based on this
initial market development work, Milne's successful introduction of dried
blueberries, blackberries and raspberries for snack, baking and powder
applications, has garnered additional interest from customers relating to other
product opportunities. In collaboration with EnWave, Milne will determine the
feasibility of producing cherry, strawberry, and carrot products for use in
snack, baking, and powder applications. The expansion of Milne's product range
is expected to support the market interests of other EnWave collaboration
partners; potentially accelerating their commercial introduction of REV dried
products using Milne as a strategic supplier.


Milne's current MicroDried(TM) products, dried using EnWave's REV technology,
are all-natural whole fruit pieces and powders with no added sugars, flavors,
colors or preservatives. Independent third-party testing comparing
MicroDried(TM) products to air-dried and freeze-dried products in a variety of
applications revealed overall superiority in appearance, flavor and texture.
Available in both crunchy and chewy textures, the natural flavors and appealing
fragrances result in tantalizing mouth appeal. Additionally, each MicroDried(TM)
item retains vital nutrients; offering high levels of polyphenol antioxidants,
which are ideal for new health and wellness consumer products.


MicroDried(TM) powders offer the nutritional benefits and appeal of 100%
natural, 100% fruit in a low-moisture powder form. These powders add real fruit
color, a powerful burst of flavor and improved nutrition to products such as
smoothies, purees and juices, among others. 


"Milne is a first-class operation motivated to build a market for their
MicroDried(TM) product line," stated Dr. Tim Durance, Chairman & Co-CEO of
EnWave. "Providing them with further product opportunities will increase the
likelihood that additional MicroDried(TM) offerings will be brought to market;
therefore, increasing the potential for supplementary royalties in the future."


"We believe there is tremendous commercial potential for MicroDried(TM)
cherries, strawberries and carrot," stated Jack Schroeder, Milne's Vice
President of Sales and Marketing. "Milne is dedicated to the market development
of our entire MicroDried(TM) product line and will continue to investigate
additional product opportunities going forward."

About EnWave 

EnWave Corporation is a Vancouver-based industrial technology company developing
commercial applications for its proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV)
dehydration technology. The company recently licensed REV technology to Milne
Fruit Products Inc, its first major U.S. customer, to support a launch of
healthy berry snacks and powders across most major markets in North America.
More recently, EnWave licensed REV technology to one of its Tier 1 multinational
partners from the list below. In addition, EnWave has entered a wide range of
research and collaboration agreements with an expanding list of multinational
partners, including Nestle, Kellogg's, Grupo Bimbo, Grimmway Farms, Ocean Spray
Cranberries, Hormel, Bonduelle and Merck. EnWave is introducing REV as a new
dehydration standard in the food and biological material sectors: potentially
faster and cheaper than freeze drying, with better end product quality than air
drying or spray drying.


EnWave currently has six REV platforms: commercial-scale nutraREV(R) and
MIVAP(R) are used in the food industry to dry fruits, vegetables, meat, herbs
and seafood quickly, while maintaining high levels of nutrition, taste, texture
and colour. The Company is also developing powderREV(TM) for bulk dehydration of
food cultures, probiotics and fine biochemicals such as enzymes; quantaREV(TM)
for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying of pastes, gels, liquids, or
particulates; and bioREV(TM) and freezeREV(TM) as new methods to stabilize and
dehydrate biopharmaceuticals such as vaccines and antibodies. More information
