Efficacy of advance oxidative process in degrading pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables

莫耶农场开发了一种创新的高级氧化工艺（AOP），可显着减少水果和蔬菜表面的微生物群，这些微生物群可导致人类疾病和农产品变质。这项技术有可能保护人类健康，同时延长水果和蔬菜的保质期。这一过程也有可能降低经常在水果和蔬菜表面发现的农药浓度。这个项目将调查AOP降低水果和蔬菜表面农药浓度的能力。该项目还将确定农药残留接触AOP时产生的转化产品**，以及这些转化产品**是否对人体健康构成风险。该项目还将调查AOP中可以修改的参数，以最大限度地减少农药残留，同时最大限度地减少可能对人类健康构成风险的转化产品的生产，并保持对微生物群落的抑制作用。拟议的研究**将确定AOP是否不仅可以减少消费者接触致病菌和延长产品的保质期，还可以减少他们接触农药残留。

Moyer Farms has developed an innovative advanced oxidation process (AOP) that significantly reduces**microbiological biota on the surface of fruits and vegetables that can cause human disease and spoilage of**produce. This technique has the potential to protect human health along with increasing the shelf-life of fruits and**vegetables. The process also has the potential to reduce the concentration of pesticides that are often found on**the surface of fruits and vegetables. This project will investigate the ability of the AOP to reduce the concentration**of pesticides on the surface of fruits and vegetables. The project will also determine the transformation products**that are produced when pesticide residues are exposed to the AOP and whether these transformation products**pose a risk to human health. The project will also investigate parameters in the AOP that could be modified to**maximize the reduction of pesticide residues while minimizing the production of transformation products that may**pose a risk to human health and maintaining the inhibition of the microbial community. The proposed research**will identify whether the AOP can not only reduce consumers exposure to disease causing agents and increase the**shelf-life of produce but also reduce their exposure to pesticide residues.
