Compositions, methods, systems and equipment capable of significantly reducing glyphosate, microbial, mycotoxin and other contaminant levels in various food commodities, such as, but not limited to, grains (e.g., corn, wheat, oats barley, rye, sorghum, millet, rice, etc.), nuts, seeds, and other agricultural products, are described. A contaminant treatment fluid suitable for use in reducing contaminant levels in foods may include an electrolyzed carrier fluid having a reductive potential with an oxidizer, a carbohydrate, and a sulfonic acid functional group-containing compound. Contacting food commodities with the contaminant treatment fluid reduces contaminant levels in the food commodity.

An embodiment of the present invention makes it possible to sterilize a marine animal with use of sea water and atmospheric air, to the extent that the marine animal can be eaten as an unheated food product. A sterilization method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is a method for sterilizing a marine animal as an unheated food product, the method comprising the steps of: producing oxygen-enriched water by mixing electrolyzed atmospheric air into sea water; producing sterilizing water by electrolyzing the oxygen-enriched water; and bringing the marine animal into contact with the sterilizing water, the sterilizing water containing HOCl, OH.sup.− and O.sup.−.

A system for treating food, the system including: a direct barrier discharge system including a pair of electrodes separated by a gap of at least 0.5 cm, wherein the direct barrier discharge system is configured to provide a feed gas between the electrodes, wherein the feed gas includes nitrogen and water, wherein a content of nitrogen in the feed gas is at least 75 vol % based on a total volume of the feed gas, and a relative humidity of the feed gas is at least 50% RH, wherein a content of oxygen in the feed gas is less than 1.5 vol % based on a total volume of the feed gas, and wherein the direct barrier discharge system is configured to provide an electric potential between the electrodes to generate a working gas having an ozone content of less than 20 ppm, based on a total volume of the working gas.

Electrochemical processes and systems for preserving perishable food are described. The process and system allow for the preservation of perishable food in the presence of water moisture, melanin, or a precursor, derivative, analog, or variant of melanin, and electromagnetic energy, such as visible or invisible light energy. There exists a need in the art for improved methods and processes for preserving perishable foods that overcome certain disadvantages associated with known methods for preserving perishable food, such as addition of preservatives, refrigeration/freezing, drying/dehydration of food, and storage under vacuum. The invention satisfies this need by providing a process and system for preserving perishable food in the presence of water moisture, electromagnetic energy, and melanin, melanin precursors, melanin derivatives, melanin analogs, or melanin variants.

The array induced electric field fluid reaction system includes a reaction unit array with a plurality of reaction units interactively connected as a network configuration, a power supply and a sample container, wherein each reaction unit has a closed iron core, a primary coil and a secondary coil. The primary coil and secondary coil are, respectively, wound around two sides of the closed iron core, and the secondary coil has an insulation pipe for circulating the reaction medium. When the array induced electric field fluid reaction system operates, no charged needle-type electrodes or electrode plates are inserted into the reaction medium. Electrochemical reaction and metal contamination may be avoided. The reaction units can form an array network connection and series/parallel connection, and when the induced electric field in each reaction unit is acted on the reaction medium, specific reaction effects may be achieved.

A contact interfacing conductive receptacle is provided. The contact interfacing conductive receptacle includes a housing sized to receive an object including water. The housing includes one or more non-transfer material pieces and two or more transfer material pieces. Each transfer material piece is configured to provide conductivity and provides a field to a different portion of the object. The transfer material pieces are integrated with the non-transfer material pieces.

The system and method for neutralizing pesticides or similar agents contained in foodstuffs and structural arrangement for implementing same relates to a system and method, as well as equipment for neutralizing pesticides or similar agents found inside or on the outside of contaminated foodstuffs; developed to address the problems caused by the frequent and abusive use of chemicals in agriculture, more commonly known as pesticides, as well as the problems caused by heavy metals contained in foodstuffs and other similar agents. The invention is intended to neutralize such pesticides present both on the surface and inside foodstuffs, given that there are already known solutions that neutralize these pesticides only superficially, and that do not effectively neutralize same inside the foodstuffs. The proposed solution uses a system comprising a recipient that creates an electron trap, resulting from the arrangement of electrodes and ceramic coatings between these electrodes, combined with magnetic and electromagnetic fields, and the photoelectric effect, arranged about the periphery of said recipient, the specific combination of these principles providing an innovative electron-concentration system, like a kind of electrical capacitor storing electrical energy, acting on the superficial and internal ionization and neutralization of the pesticides and similar agents present in the foodstuffs.

The present invention relates to a process and system using induction of electric voltage to reduce the oxidation of consumer organic products. In particularly, chemical reactions within the AC and/or DC field are influenced by a catalytic reaction caused by the changing the field to reduce and/or eliminate oxidation in consumer organic products.
