NanoGuard is structured around development of a new non-thermal pasteurization technology for use on grain, fresh produce, spices and other food articles and designed to reduce losses and improve the safety, wholesomeness and security of food. Called High Voltage Atmospheric Cold Plasma Technology (HVACP) - the firm offers a platform capability applicable across across several different arenas - fresh produce, foods, meat, grains, water treatment, and medical sterilization. The company has focused on advancing the technology in treating post harvest grain products during further processing into products that eventually end up in the consumer or animal nutrition markets. The technology has been demonstrated to reduce the microbial load on these products, improving food quality and safety, increasing shelf life and reducing spoilage. The technology has also been demonstrated to reduce mycotoxins in contaminated grains and render them non-detectable by the current state of the art analytical methods used to analyze for them in these grain samples. Preventing waste and protecting health by eradicating harmful pathogens anywhere pose threat
