New technology for degrading pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables can extend their shelf life

??? Pesticide residues not only seriously endanger food safety, but also create enormous ecological risks. Recently, the "technical methods and series of automatic devices for the degradation of pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits and for preservation" jointly developed by Beijing Hongbaoyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Rutgers University in the United States passed a scientific and technological achievement evaluation. The technology has already been promoted and applied in Shanghai, Qingdao and other places. Experts such as Zhao Xiaoyan, a researcher at the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences, said that the indicators achieved by this technological breakthrough for the degradation of some pesticide residues are better than the pesticide residue standards of Europe, the United States and Japan.

??? It is understood that the pesticide residue degradation methods currently used in China mainly rely on peeling, washing and other methods, with a low removal rate, while this technological breakthrough, through supporting biological enzyme degradation agents, pesticide residue purification activating disinfection sprays, systemic pesticide residue washing and disinfecting liquids, film-attached preservatives and others, can not only degrade pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits, but the shelf life of the treated fruits and vegetables can also be extended by 3~5 times.
