Abstract
A plant storage apparatus for higher retention of phytochemical content of a plant including a storage unit having an inner space for storing the plant, an ultraviolet (UV) unit provided to the storage unit and configured to emit UV light when the inner space is sealed, and a control unit configured to control operation of the UV unit such that the plant stored in the storage unit is irradiated with UV light to retain a higher phytochemical content than a plant not irradiated with UV light.
Claims20
A plant storage apparatus for higher retention of phytochemical content of a plant, comprising:
- a storage unit having an inner space for storing the plant;
- an ultraviolet (UV) unit provided to the storage unit and configured to emit UV light when the inner space is sealed;
- and
- a control unit configured to control operation of the UV unit such that the plant stored in the storage unit is irradiated with UV light to retain a higher phytochemical content than a plant not irradiated with UV light.
A plant storage method for causing a plant to have a higher retention of phytochemical content, the method comprising irradiating the plant with ultraviolet (UV) light such that the plant has a higher phytochemical content than a plant not irradiated with UV light.
An illumination device for irradiating a harvested plant with ultraviolet (UV) light to cause the harvested plant irradiated with UV light to retain more phytochemical contents than a harvested plant not irradiated with UV light.
