DESC:BACKGROUND
[0001] Unless otherwise indicated herein, the materials described in this section are not prior art to this application and are not admitted to being prior art by inclusion in this section.
Field of invention:
[0002] The subject matter in general relates to the field of raw food purification. More particularly, but not exclusively, the subject matter relates to a method for detoxifying raw food materials from harmful elements using hybrid inputs.
Discussion of related art:
[0003] Raw food refers to food that is uncooked and unprocessed. Raw food may include fruits, vegetables, egg, fish, nuts, dairy products, and the like. Food purifiers are typically used to filter, separate, break-down elements such as pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, pathogens and the like from raw foods. These elements are harmful for human health. Ozone may be considered as an effective disinfectant for purification of food/raw food. Ozone may also be referred to as activated oxygen and contains three oxygen atoms.
[0004] Conventionally, processes such as chlorination is used for detoxification of the food. However, chlorine is harmful to the environment and may affect the human respiratory system and may have adverse effects on the throat if inhaled. Also, conventional food purifiers only use ozonation for detoxifying raw food. Limiting to only ozonation does not give desirable, scientific, and highly precise contamination free raw food.
[0005] In view of the foregoing discussion, there is a need for an improved process to filter out multiple harmful elements from the raw food.
SUMMARY
[0006] In one embodiment, a method for detoxification of raw food from harmful elements is disclosed. Harmful elements may include, but not limited to, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, bacteria, pathogens and the like. The method includes inducing the raw food materials with one or more hybrid inputs. The one or more hybrid inputs may include ozone, ultraviolet (UV), selective ultrasound (US), and pulsed currents. UV rays is incident on the raw food material, where the UV may act as a bacterial and viral sterilizer. Pulsed currents are provided to fluid medium within which the raw food materials are immersed in, for eliminating pathogens. High frequencies are induced on the raw food materials using the selective US for eliminating harmful elements and reducing adhesive forces between the raw food surfaces.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0010] The following detailed description includes references to the accompanying drawings, which form part of the detailed description. The drawings show illustrations in accordance with example embodiments. These example embodiments are described in enough details to enable those skilled in the art to practice the present subject matter. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention may be practised without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments. The embodiments can be combined, other embodiments can be utilized, or structural and logical changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken as a limiting sense.
[0011] In this document, the terms “a” or “an” are used, as is common in patent documents, to include one or more than one. In this document, the term “or” is used to refer to a non-exclusive “or,” such that “A or B” includes “A but not B,” “B but not A,” and “A and B,” unless otherwise indicated.
[0012] It should be understood that the capabilities of the invention described in the present disclosure and elements shown in the figures may be implemented in various forms of hardware, firmware, software, non-transitory computer readable medium or combinations thereof.
[0013] FIG. 1 illustrates a flowchart 100 for detoxification of raw food from harmful elements, in accordance with an embodiment. In one embodiment, harmful elements may include, but not limited to, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, bacteria, pathogens and the like. Raw food may include fruits, vegetables, egg, fish, nuts, dairy products, and the like.
[0014] At step 102, the raw food may be subjected to ozone. The ozone detoxifies the raw food by eliminating harmful elements. For example, raw food may be placed in a container filled with water. The immersed raw food may be subjected to ozone generated by the hybrid input generator 206 to detoxify the raw food.
[0015] In an embodiment, the raw food may be subjected to any one or combination of ozone, ultraviolet, pulsed current or ultrasound.
[0016] At step 104, the raw food is subjected to UV rays. The UV rays may have a wavelength from 10 nanometers to 400 nanometers. Sunlight may be a source of UV rays. The UV rays may destroy the harmful elements and acts as a bacterial and a viral sterilizer.
[0017] At step 106, the raw food is further subjected to pulsed current. The method may utilize opto-hydro-ionizer interaction with specific digital pulsed currents in removing toxic substances, pathogens from pre-cooked food/raw food. Opto-waves interact with an ionized water medium that may be activated by pulsed currents for knocking off molecules of the harmful elements.
[0018] At step 108, the raw food is subjected to high frequencies of selective ultrasound for eliminating harmful elements and reducing adhesive forces between the raw food surfaces and molecules of the harmful elements.
[0019] The above-mentioned steps 102 – 108 may be executed on a microprocessor 202 (Refer FIG. 2) that includes a precision time delay circuit 204. The execution on the microprocessor 202 occurs without affecting nutritional properties of the raw food. Hence, the above described method results in contamination free clean raw food.
