Bioremediation & Environmental Cleanup

Green Technologies and Food Production

Green technologies include ionizing and ultraviolet radiation, ohmic heating, high power ultrasound, high hydrostatic pressure and pressurized carbon dioxide, all of which impose mild conditions on food matrices. The application of green technology in food technology not only imparts environmentally friendly practices, but also produces healthy and nutritious products. There are several technologies previously applied for non-food purposes which can now also be used for food processing, such as liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide, ultrasonic waves, pulsed electric field
