Claims21
A method of preserving the quality of a perishable product comprising, treating the product with a near-infrared laser and one or more non-laser, near infrared lights, wherein the intensity of each non-laser, near infrared light is in the range of about 10 to 1000 μmol m−2 s−1.
A method of preserving the quality of a perishable product comprising treating the product with a near infrared laser and one or more non-laser near infrared lights or light emitting diodes (LEDs), wherein the intensity of each non-laser, near infrared light or LED is in the range of about 10 to 1000 μmol m−2s−1.
A method of preserving the quality of a perishable product comprising,
- simultaneously treating the product with a near infrared laser and one or more non-laser near infrared lights, wherein the intensity of each non-laser near infrared light is in the range of about 10 to 1000 μmol m−2s−1 and;
- subjecting said product to a magnetic field.
