Tags: IIT Indore, India, Agriculture & Food
This innovation presents a portable Photodynamic Inactivation (PDI) kit as an alternative to cold storage for food preservation. By using visible light to inactivate microbes, it reduces the need for refrigeration, cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The method provides an affordable and sustainable food storage solution for small and marginal farmers. It can be applied to vegetables, grains, and other perishable food items. A patent has been filed (Indian Patent Application No. 202421010243).
