EnWave Signs Research & Development Agreement With an Option to License With Sun-Maid Growers of California

EnWave Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ENW)(FRANKFURT:E4U) ("EnWave", or the "Company")
announced today it has signed a Research & Development Agreement with an
exclusive option to license ("the Agreement") with Sun-Maid Growers of
California ("Sun-Maid"), a global leader in the production of premium quality
raisins and dried fruit. 


EnWave and Sun-Maid will work together to determine the feasibility of using
EnWave's Radiant Energy Vacuum ("REV") technology to dry a variety of fruit
products. If the product development is successful, Sun-Maid has the exclusive
option to license the Company's REV technology for specific fruit products
outlined in the Agreement. All other terms of the Agreement are confidential. 


"Sun-Maid is a well-known and successful processor of healthy dried fruit snack

producing premium products aligns well with our ability to achieve superior
color, flavor and appearance using REV technology."


About Sun-Maid Growers of California 

Sun-Maid has served consumers and customers since 1912 by providing premium
quality raisins and dried fruits from the raisin and fruit farms of California
to homes and eating establishments around the world. As a cooperative, Sun-Maid
Growers of California is owned by family farmers who grow raisin grapes all
located within 100 miles of each other in the Great Central Valley of
California, midway between Los Angeles to the south and San Francisco to the
north. This fertile agricultural valley produces some of the best fruits and
vegetables in the world, including a wide assortment of grapes, peaches, plums,
apples, figs, apricots, blueberries, strawberries, and melons. When appropriate,
Sun-Maid reaches beyond this geographical area to source a complete array of
dried fruits. More information about Sun-Maid is available at www.sunmaid.com. 


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 and at low-cost, 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.
