Pesticide Reduction

nanoe™ radiated throughout the refrigerator breaks down pesticide. A simple rinse in water after nanoe™ X storage reduces pesticide than a water rinse alone.

Effects on pesticide residues

Pesticide Reduction Rate After Rinse (3 Days Later)*.

Diniconazole

A graph showing that the reduction rate of Diniconazole is improved 1.75 times when nanoe™ X is used

Azoxystrobin

A graph showing that the reduction rate of Azoxystrobin is improved 4.74 times when nanoe™ X is used

How nanoe™ X works

Hydroxyl radicals of nanoe™ X break down pesticide particles to easily wash away residue.

Pesticide atoms have a strong bond that repels water.

Pesticide atoms have a strong bond that repels water.

Hydroxyl radicals break down this bond (hydrophilization).

Hydroxyl radicals break down this bond (hydrophilization).

This allows water to rinse off pesticides easily.

This allows water to rinse off pesticides easily.

*Test organisation: TECHNO SCIENCE Corporation. Certificate number: 20020273-001. Tested pesticides: Diniconazole and Azoxystrobin. Test method (n=2): 3 days’ exposure with and without nanoe™ X, and after a rinse with water. Test conditions: In a 400-L square chamber, at a temperature of 5°C and humidity of over 70%, with nanoe™ X repeatedly turned on for 20 minutes then off for 40 minutes. Test process: 1) Pesticide was applied to a φ2.8 cm dish. 2) The dish was placed in the 400-L square chamber. 3) After 3 days, the dish was washed with water. 4) The pesticide residue on the dish was measured. 5) Analysis was conducted with LC/MS. Test results: Diniconazole residue reduced by 77.7% with nanoe™ X, 44.4% without nanoe™ X; Azoxystrobin reduced by 59.3% with nanoe™ X, 12.5% without nanoe™ X. Note: The effect of nanoe™ X can be expected to differ depending on the fruit or vegetable.
