Packaging of fruits in containers. The containers preferably have designed permeabilities to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ethylene and include a gas-permeable membrane comprising (1) a microporous film, and (2) a polymeric coating on the microporous film. The containers enable storage and/or ripening of fruits under controlled conditions. Using the new containers, fruits can be ripened while they are being transported, or in conventional ripening rooms without opening the bags in which they have been transported. In addition, fruits can be preserved in a satisfactory ripened state for longer periods of time. Methods of treating fruits with insecticides, fungicides and mold-inhibiting compounds are also disclosed.

A method for preserving wine or other oxygen sensitive items is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method involves injecting 0.15 gram to 0.5 gram of an inert gas into a container comprising wine and oxygen, without raising a pressure within the container above 10 psig, to form a barrier layer of the inert gas between the wine and the oxygen in the container without displacing all of the oxygen from the container.

A device capable of stably obtaining gas of a sterilizer containing hydrogen peroxide for a long time is provided. A cleaning device that cleans a heating surface that gasifies a sterilizer of a gasifier for a sterilizer is provided, and after an operation for a fixed time period, the heating surface is cleaned.

The present invention has as its object the provision of a processing method that can perform a sterilization process and a deodorization process utilizing ozone with high efficiency, without humidification of a target object. A processing method of the present invention includes obtaining an ozone-containing gas by irradiating an ozone material gas with ozone generation light that does not include light in an ozone decomposition wavelength range and does include light having a wavelength of not more than 200 nm; and exposing a target object to the obtained ozone-containing gas in a low humidity condition having a relative humidity of not more than 55% to process the target object.

The present invention generally relates to the field of Purification Device, method and system. More particularly, this invention relates to purification of raw food produce using Advanced Oxidation Process & Photolysis that performs on Nanotechnology. The invention reduces the impact of harmful pesticides, insecticides, germs, pathogens, virus, harmful anti-oxidants, heavy metals, etc., while keeping the inherent properties intact.
