Ultraviolet light could extend shelf life of food and reduce waste

[@kaitlynlivingston6402]

Clear message, clear structure, easy to understand, thank you

[@aungphonekyaw8955]

What kind of uv lamp should be use.

[@merceehh]

Does it work for poultry?

[@arneaiking8876]

Yes, we supply those systems to the poultry industry also.

[@stephenketcher1]

@@arneaiking8876 Whats would you recommend for a juicery? We wish to move away from thermal pasteurization. Thanks

[@noleenmagora7845]

How much is this uv sterilize

[@arneaiking8876]

Simple handheld systems are avialable from US$350. Fully automated post-harvest systems for industrial settings may set you back US$100,000 or more.

What if the food's been exposed to UV light for a year? Is it still preserved or is it gonna have side effects? Just trying to do research for homework.

[@arneaiking8876]

Nope. A few seconds is best. Long term exposure can give damage to the food, sort of like sunburn.

Does it work for kiwi?

[@arneaiking8876]

Yes, the CleanLight technology is also used on kiwis, and other siemilar produce. Ask us for details: [e-mail]

HELLO WILL THIS METHOD WORK ON MILK PRODUCTS BEFORE THEY PACK TO INCREASE SHELFLIFE????

[@arneaiking8876]

Yes, milk, wine, juices, etc (Drinkwater is most common. It is clear, so you can use standard lamps. Milk and wine are more opaque, so they require stronger lamps/ and/or lower flowrates.)

[@shintran]

It will work for clear liquid, i see normally they use it for water, but for milk, i am not sure. I work in a juice factory, UV light can only control the bacterial in the air on top of the surface of juice but not the juice itself

[@stephenketcher1]

@@shintran whats the name of the machine used for that in your juicery? We use thermal pasteurization but wish to move from that. Thanks

[@shintran]

@@stephenketcher1 You can investigate in the HPP (High pressure pasteurizer) which will work with pre-packed juice. But UV light will not work in the case of juice, unless it's clear liquid.

the sound is not good I am quite disappointed
