This project aims to improve commercial practices in maintaining produce quality and reducing waste within the food supply chain. A novel environmentally friendly antimicrobial solution will be developed and delivered using unique fogging and spraying technology. These solutions will be used to wash, fog and/or spray fresh fruit and vegetables to reduce the number of microorganisms that could cause spoilage (reducing food wastage). This approach will also help reduce the presence of microorganisms capable of causing foodborne diseases, increasing food safety. The delivered antimicrobial solutions ultimately revert to salt and water, and so are compatible with wide-spread use as a surface disinfectant within industry processes. Collectively the use of this technology to control food associated microorganisms will result in significant positive impacts on the food supply chain.

该项目旨在改善商业实践，以保持产品质量并减少食品供应链中的浪费。将使用独特的雾化和喷涂技术开发和提供一种新型环保抗菌解决方案。这些溶液将用于清洗、雾化和/或喷洒新鲜水果和蔬菜，以减少可能导致腐败的微生物数量（减少食物浪费）。这种方法还将有助于减少能够引起食源性疾病的微生物的存在，从而提高食品安全。所提供的抗菌溶液最终会恢复为盐和水，因此适合在工业流程中作为表面消毒剂广泛使用。总的来说，使用该技术来控制食品相关微生物将对食品供应链产生重大的积极影响。
