Texas (AP) - note that bread shopping: Texas company may have some consumer unpopular found that just buy bread contains mould the answer.
The company says it MicroZap technology can make bread to keep mold free trial sixty days. Bread bombing about ten seconds, microwave ovens, it can kill mould spore, the CEO and tang Lin said.
This process can remove the bread need preservative composition used to cover up preservative "taste, and reduce food waste and increase the shelf life of bread," he said.
In the United States Texas university of science and technology researchers also use technology in developing countries bread, there is less food safety standards and corruption is a problem.
"It can help us provide a rich source of food for people in need," said mindy blah hill's pull burke food industry outstanding university, director of the center. Help people in developing countries is the prospect of what motivation, to help the development of technology in the past eight years of microbiology professor.
Sixty days later, the researchers found that deal with bread, fresh baked bread, compared with the same mould content keep packing, LinQingHe said. Finally, though, he knew it would be attributed to the consumer tastes.
"Consumers see bread no obvious quality difference, LinQingHe said:" the test who found that treatment of bread taste and quality of a material is the same.
The Associated Press reporter found the same. Although slightly a little hot, microwave, a piece of whole wheat bread tastes like soft, without a crash. The smell of bread sixty days of age.
This year, from the natural resources defense council estimates show that in 2008, the food in the United States in the gross loss estimation for 4.3 billion pounds - all the food supply 10% of retail outlets, most of which are perishable foods, including bread.
Not frozen bread will have to yield to die in the plastic packing in ten days or so, so keep it at the sixty days put forward a new proposition.
Not so fast, Ruth McDonell said, in the United States, Iowa state university professor of food science and human nutrition, and host. There are thousands can be seen everywhere in the air mold spores, she added, although bread producers might like storage and transportation technology, these spores at home is a problem.
"Once you open (a bag of bread), all bets are closed," she said.
Mould is a kind of fungus, shape into wrapped in plastic packaging bread, because it still have water. When trapped water evaporated inside the bag, bread surface moisturizing for mould created reason want to environment.
And researchers at the university of MicroZap test in three different types of mould on the plastic bag in the bread tie wire, each a microwave to destroy.
But there are also fast switching characteristics, also won't improve, it will not go stale bread. Touch, after six days of hardness and flavor, scientists has his doubts.
"Will have some problems, I will have about sixty days of bread quality of a material," Brian said, this straw, the baking, Kansas Manhattan nonprofit American baking association. "It won't be baking food all the answer to the question. There are a lot of things, can begin to happen", including bread become moldy.
MicroZap is a commercial bakery, are there any plans to pack my own bread or bread is considered as the management of the factory. Now, its goal is to find a bread maker, to implement a pilot project - as test prototype - in the production line used similar metal device.
One is applying for patent technology, LinQingHe said, they are in talks with investors. The United States department of agriculture has also contact MicroZap may use technology export fruit and vegetables.
LinQingHe said, MicroZap had just completed the family as the unit of the drawings, make consumers can put the bread and other food. He estimates that a family unit will cost about $100, more than ordinary microwave oven.
Microwave bread is not the same as the illumination and kill food pathogens technology - because there is no use gamma rays. The U.S. government has approved the all kinds of food - meat, spice, some imported fruits, seeds, used to grow the illuminate of bean sprouts. It won't make food radioactive.
In the university laboratory in the use of microwave frequency are the same business unit, but in an array, we get the uniform bread signal, eliminate the common hot and cold spots in the kitchen the microwave food, delivery.
Technology - $1.5 million from Texas emerging technology funded efforts - first going to kill bacteria, such as staphylococcus, an infectious bacterial infection to many commonly used antibiotic resistance, salmonella. But the researchers found that it also killed mold spores in bread, fresh and processed foods and disinfection not cooking or damage.
