PHYTOSANITARY TREATMENT OF FRUIT AND BERRIES

Beamcomplex offers ready-to-use complexes for phytosanitary treatment of fresh fruit and berries with ionizing irradiation. Phytosanitary treatment with ionizing irradiation combats pests and pathogens, increases shelf life and does not affect the product quality. After treatment, the process of fruit ripening slows down, which ensures an increase in shelf life.
FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY

Irradiating food has the same benefits as when it is heated, refrigerated, frozen or treated with chemicals, but without changing the temperature or leaving residues. The technique controls spoilage and food-borne pathogenic micro-organisms or insect pests without significantly affecting taste or smell.

E-BEAM AND X-RAY PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY

Operating principle of electron accelerator:
An electron accelerator operates in two modes: E-beam or X-ray. Beams generated by the electron accelerator fully penetrate fruit and berries, kill insects and their larvae, reduce pathogens.Temperature of processed products may vary from 0 °C to 50 °C

Technology benefits
Processing fruits with ionizing radiation enables you to stop using chemicals for processing. Our technology prevents spoilage of products and guarantees the product quality for the entire shelf life. Product treatment with ionizing radiation helps increase shelf life of products, expand markets and increase export volumes.

BENEFITS OF
PHYTOSANITARY TREATMENT WITH IONIZING RADIATION


  • destroys insects and their larvae, reduces the number of pathogens
  • guarantees the producer will pass the phytosanitary control
  • ensures longer shelf life
  • ensures high quality of products and their safety for whole shelf life
  • slows ripening
  • no radiation effect on cellular and molecular structure of the products
  • retains organoleptic properties for the entire product shelf life
  • mitigates the risk of food borne illnesses
  • no residual radiation and no free radicals in products after irradiation treatment

COMPLEXES FOR PHYTOSANITARY TREATMENT OF FRUIT AND BERRIES

Ionizing radiation processing will increase the shelf life, provide quality assurance and make the fruit safe for consumers. The need to process fruit from insects and harmful microorganisms is an important task to increase export to provide high-quality products to people in all regions of the world.
