APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REMOVAL OF RESIDUAL PESTICIDES, STERILIZATION, LONG-TERM FRESHNESS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus for removing residual pesticides, sterilization and extending freshness of vegetables, and a method thereof, which sterilize vegetables such as fruits and root vegetables, remove residual pesticides, sterilize and extend freshness. The present invention provides an apparatus for removing residual pesticides, sterilization and extending freshness of vegetables, and a method thereof, in which micro ozone bubbles are produced and diffused in water in the washing process; the residual pesticides are oxidization decomposed by the hydroxyl radical (OH-/free radical), which is produced when micro ozone bubbles are collapsed; bacteria such as colon bacillus, food poisoning bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, salmonella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, etc.), mycotoxin (Aflatoxin etc.) and viruses are sterilized; and the freshness is extended due to biological activities of nano oxygen bubbles by allowing nano oxygen bubbles to be surrounded by electrolyte so that the nano oxygen bubbles survive for a long time.
