摘要

The treatment system for ultrasound followed by uniform exposure of UV radiation (UV - C pulse constant and intense in the refrigerated chamber for sterilizing fruits and vegetables.The present invention patent refers to a system that performs a process of sterilization and disinfection of fruits and vegetables, using water at controlled temperature in the first stage of cleaning that stimulates a natural response of fruit or vegetable against harmful micro-organisms.In the sequel, expose the fruit or vegetable to a treatment by ultrasound with frequency and power adjusted in order to eliminate or reduce the effect of the shadow, which protects the microorganisms in the next step of the process.That is the exposure of fruits and vegetables to intense pulsed ultraviolet radiation and ultraviolet in a configuration that promotes the application of the dose of ultraviolet evenly across the surface of the fruit or vegetable to isolation of sources of radiation.
