is proud to introduce
This innovation in food handling makes use of the opposite end of the spectrum on the logarithmic pH scale.
Most vegetable washes use citric acid as the base of their products. These acids permeate vegetables with Hydrogen (+) ions
Anaerobic bacteria can be oxidized by acids or chlorides, these acids however, precipitate a molecular breakdown of the vegetal cellulose thereby accelerating spoilage. Chlorine has obvious taste, smell and chemical issues.
We believe that High pH (OH-)solutions offer an alternate view of cleaning fruits, vegetables, meats and fish prior to consumption.
By flooding the plant matter, protein or legume with OH- for very limited (at most 3 to 5 minutes) amount of time, we achieve a substantial reduction of surface bacteria.
Please Note:
The enhancement of food quality, taste and appearance through this method is quite dramatic.
Another side benefit is a longer shelf life for fruit, vegetables, meat and fish (typically 3-5 days) as bacterial growth is retarded through a properly oxygenated substrate.
In
the case of legumes (soy, peas, alfalfa and other sprouts), fragile fruit
such as berries this product is extremely effective at increasing shelf life
and taste. The use of
Calcium in this highly reactive form has been used for heavy metal leaching. There is a distinct possibility that some or most heavy metals are leached from vegetables under this form of immersion.
The use of this type of calcium as a wash has
been found to aid in the extraction of folic acid from leafy green
vegetables. It is possible that by using
Restaurant and institutional version and package will be available.
Coming Soon! Nano-Cal is currently working on new formulations to include:
Please stay posted as we move along the discovery path.
