AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing methods for cleaning and sanitizing dehydrated agricultural products are inadequate for reducing contamination by pesticides, mycotoxins, and heavy metals, and are often energy-intensive and costly.
Method used
A method involving a high-temperature steam treatment in a vacuum chamber combined with a forced reverse air circulation system and a metal detector is used to reduce chemical, physical, and biological contamination in dehydrated materials.
Benefits of technology
Achieves up to 95-99.95% reduction in chemical contamination, 97% reduction in physical contamination, and 99% reduction in biological contamination, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

Abstract
A method for reducing contamination of a dehydrated material, comprising: receiving a contaminated partial or complete dehydrated material; analyzing the contaminated dehydrated material to determine the type and degree of contamination it has through conventional analytical techniques to detect the presence of contaminating agents; placing the contaminated dehydrated material in a container made of a material that can withstand high temperatures and pressures and configured to allow circulation of a gaseous fluid so that the gaseous fluid uniformly contacts the item to be decontaminated; subjecting the contaminated dehydrated material to at least one decontamination treatment according to the results of the contamination analysis; and packaging the decontaminated dehydrated material.
