NanoGuard Technologies: Preventing Unnecessary Food Waste by Eliminating Illness-Causing Pathogens

As much as 25% of the world’s grain production is lost annually in the post-harvest supply chain due to spoilage and mycotoxin contamination. This is not only a massive financial loss for farmers, but a challenge for those looking to help feed the 690 million people worldwide who struggle with food insecurity. NanoGuard’s High Voltage Atmospheric Cold Plasma (HVACP) technology reduces post-harvest food loss and increases food safety by pasteurizing the surface of food and feed to reduce microbial activity by greater than 99% and cut toxin level in half. NanoGuard achieves this without post-treatment plasma residues and at a lower cost than competing technologies. This represents a sustainable solution to increase food availability and shelf life, reduce pressure on natural resources, reduce hunger, enhance human and animal health as well as improve the profitability of farmers.
