A treatment system, including a conveyor bed configured to transport a plurality of products; a brushing device located along the conveyor bed and having one or more brushes that include a first antimicrobial compound; a surface treatment device including a lamp configured to emit light of a peak wavelength directed toward a portion of the conveyor bed; and a coating device configured to deliver a coating mixture onto the plurality of products on the conveyor bed.

This invention relates to a method, process and apparatus for disinfecting and sterilizing all types of surfaces contaminated with microorganisms and toxic substances to render both inactive. Furthermore, this invention relates to both a method and apparatus for disinfecting and/or sterilizing breathable air and then using this air to protect a confined space from external contamination. The apparatus consists of a new ultra-violet (NUV) source that is more effective than mercury based 254 nm light for destroying DNA of virus, bacteria, spores and cists. It is most effective in breaking chemical bonds in toxic gases and Biotoxins that are useful to terrorists. It is combined with other apparatus that remove particulates and byproducts sometimes produced by the NUV source and maintains positive pressure of the confined space so as to prevent the influx of air from outside the protected zone.

The present invention relates to a multidimensional ecological preservation technology for sweet potatoes, including the following steps: collecting mature tuberous roots in proper time; and performing BTH soak cleaning to promote callus, and performing callus treatment as follows: pretreatment before storage, disinfection in a cellar, sand storage, tent air conditioning, and performing secondary cobalt ray irradiation at an irradiation dose of 0.1-0.5 kGy before the end of storage and marketing, thereby achieving dual guarantee of storage period and shelf life. In the present invention, the traditional sand is replaced with a sandy material (having a particle size of 1-3 mm), and the sandy material is lightweight, breathable, and high in water absorbing and retaining property, thermal insulation and heat preservation.

The present disclosure relates to a technical idea of infiltrating stevioside or a fragrant ingredient into a fruit or vegetable by using a high-voltage pulsed electric field, and a method for enhancing the sweetness according to an embodiment may comprise the steps of maintaining high-voltage pulse device electrodes installed on at least two sides in a container containing a solution in which a natural sugar or a substance for fragrance is dissolved, injecting an object of the fruit or vegetable between the high-voltage pulse device electrodes, receiving an alternating current from the high-voltage pulse device electrodes to convert the alternating current into a high-voltage direct current, and storing the high-voltage direct current in a capacitor, which is an energy storage device, to charge energy, generating a high-voltage pulsed electric field (PEF) by discharging the charged energy from the high-voltage pulse device electrodes using a pulse generating circuit when the injected object is sensed, forming a potential difference in cell membranes of the object with the generated high-voltage pulsed electric field, and allowing the solution to permeate between the generated perforations of the cell membranes by maintaining the state in which the potential difference is formed for a predetermined time until perforations are generated in the cell membranes of the object.
