NanoGuard is revolutionizing the post-harvest supply chain, reducing waste and losses, while improving food quality and safety with a non-thermal pasteurization technology. The technology uses air and electricity producing an energized air stream, through a process called airilizationTM, that pasteurizes raw agricultural products and those food products manufactured from them rendering them safe for consumption without affecting their quality, taste or texture.
This novel technology leaves no residues on the treated products and can remove all forms of microbial contamination including detoxifying mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of certain fungi that are highly toxin to both humans and animals.
By improving the efficiency of the post-harvest chain, more high-quality food is delivered from farm to fork improving the overall sustainability of the agricultural and food industries. With over 1 billion metric tons of losses every year due to spoilage and mycotoxin contamination, NanoGuard is at the forefront of improving food security and supply while feeding the world in a more responsible and sustainable fashion.
