iGROW with science
The EOS Lightpulse team actively collaborates with the CEBAS-CSIC, carrying out tests on the positive effects of UVC LED irradiation on plants.
We are developing a UVC chamber that will revolutionize the agri-food industry for the benefits it will bring in the production of horticultural products.
The future of the agri-food industry
UVC chamber | Germicidal LEDs for the agri-food industry
UV-C irradiation is a safe and ecological technique to preserve meats and horticultural products such as juices, fruits and vegetables. Control of storage rot with UVC (λ = 200-280 nm) is attributed not only to its direct germicidal effect, but also to its ability to induce defense responses in host tissue.
In most cases, the postharvest quality of the irradiated horticultural products improves due to the decay of the concentration of pathogenic fungi such as Botrytis cinerea, Rhizopus stolonifer, Penicillium.
UVC chamber for production lines
The UVC chamber presents a wide range of possibilities for the agri-food market. In particular, it offers two applicable effects in the production chain: disinfection and degradation.
Disinfection
The UVC chamber has a disinfecting effect on vegetables
We refer to the bacterial film that all fruits and vegetables have, which are the microorganisms responsible for putrefaction, so with the UVC chamber we can eliminate the surface film and thus extend the shelf life of the fruit, vegetables or meat at any point of the production chain.
Degradation
UVC light produces a degradation effect on certain substances of plants
The secondary metabolites are responsible for the smell, color, flavor, nutrients and medical properties of plants. With our UVC chamber we can degrade secondary metabolites and turn them into others or even eliminate them altogether due to a process called photolysis.
