Improve Quality of Life
By ensuring that high- quality, nutritious food remains available for longer periods, we contribute to the health and well- being of communities worldwide.
Areas of Activity
Biotechnology
At Fresh Guard Tech LDA, we harness the power of biotechnology to develop innovative solutions aimed at enhancing the quality and sustainability of food production. Our work in biotechnology focuses on:
- Food Preservation: Utilizing advanced methods like microwave and ultrasound treatments to extend the shelf life of perishable food products.
- Microbial Control: Developing techniques to reduce harmful bacteria and fungi in food, ensuring safety and longevity without compromising nutritional value.
- Genetic Research: Investigating genetic markers and modifications to improve the resilience and quality of crops, thereby reducing waste and increasing yield.
Data Science
Data science is at the core of our operations, driving insights and innovations across all our projects. Key areas include:
- Predictive Analytics: Using big data to forecast food spoilage patterns and optimize supply chains, helping to minimize waste.
- Data Integration: Combining data from various sources, such as environmental sensors and market trends, to provide
comprehensive solutions for food management. - Machine Learning Models: Developing and deploying machine learning algorithms to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of our
food preservation technologies.
AI/ML
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are integral to our technological advancements. We leverage AI/ML to:
- Optimize Processes: Continuously improve our food treatment systems by learning from data and adjusting treatment protocols for different types of produce.
- Automation: Implement automated systems for detecting, classifying, and treating food items, reducing the need for manual intervention and increasing throughput.
- Innovation: Create intelligent solutions that address emerging challenges in food preservation and sustainability, ensuring our technologies stay at the forefront of the industry.
Our Project
SoundSafe
SoundSafe is a cutting- edge technology designed to significantly reduce food loss and waste, particularly in the fruit and vegetable sectors.
The technology leverages a novel integration of microwave and ultrasound treatments to extend the shelf- life of perishable food products without altering their nutritional or sensory properties. This is crucial in addressing the global challenge of food waste, where a substantial portion of the food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted annually.
How the SoundSafe Works
Preparation and Detection
Food items are prepared and loaded into the system where the detection unit assesses and categorizes them by type, size, and maturity.
Treatment Application
Based on the detection data, the control unit directs the items to the microwave chamber for initial treatment, followed by the ultrasonic chamber for further processing. The specific parameters of microwave power and ultrasonic frequency are tailored to each product type and condition.
Post-Treatment Handling
After treatment, the products are moved out of the system and are ready for packaging and distribution. The extended shelf life allows for longer storage and transport times, reducing the risk of spoilage.
