Process protocols based on radio frequency energy to control field and storage pests in in-shell walnuts

Control Efficacy of Controlled Atmosphere and Temperature Treatment System Against the Hawthorn Spider Mite, Tetranychus viennensis

“…방사선 조사는 해충의 DNA의 화학결합을 붕괴 시킴으로 소독효과를 발휘하게 한다. 기타 물리적 처리법으로 는 오존처리 (Hollingsworth and Armstrong, 2005;Kells et al, 2001), 마이크로파처리 (Ikediala et al, 1999), 라디오주파 열처 리 (Nelson, 1996;Tang et al, 2000;Wang et al, 2002), 고압산 소처리 (Butz and Tauscher, 1995) 및 진공처리 (Liu, 2003) (Neven and Mitcham, 1996). CATTS 기술에 의해 수확 후 소독 처리가 입증된 해충은 코드린나방 (Cydia pomonella), 복숭아순나방(Grapholita molesta), 자두바…”

Electromagnetic Solutions for the Agricultural Problems

“…Difference between the loss factor of codling moth and walnut (Wang & Tang, 2001) Thus, the idea of combined methods is raised to remove some of the disadvantages of each one of them. If the RF heating is combined with hot air (Wang et al, 2002), the temperature drop during the holding period will be reduced and surface heating will be improved as well. The schematic of the system is described in Fig.4.…”

Experimental evaluations of radio frequency heating in low-moisture agricultural products

“…Especially recently, RF treatments have been extensively studied for postharvest disinfestations Jiao et al, 2012;Lagunas-Solar et al, 2007;Shrestha and Baik, 2013;Wang et al, 2007;Wang and Tang, 2001;Wang et al, 2002;Wang et al, 2010) and pasteurizations (Gao et al, 2012;Jeong and Kang, 2014;Kim et al, 2012) in low-moisture agricultural products due to rapid and volumetric heating. But the non-uniform heating is still a major obstacle for RF treatment technology to be applied in the agricultural product processing industry.…”
