Fig Fumigation Application

Industrial microwave fumigation of figs is a method used during storage of harvested figs. In this method, most of the harmful insects, fungi and other microorganisms that may be present in figs are destroyed. Thus, figs are stored longer and their quality is preserved. The device used in this method is called industrial microwave oven.

These ovens use electromagnetic waves that mobilise the water molecules in the figs. These waves cause the water molecules to vibrate and heat up. The heated water molecules cause the harmful microorganisms inside the figs to die.

The process of fig fumigation in industrial microwave starts with the treatment of figs with a special fumigation gas. This gas is usually phosphine gas. The phosphine gas penetrates into the figs, causing the harmful organisms inside them to die. Then, the figs are placed in an industrial microwave oven on a special carrier. The oven uses electromagnetic waves to mobilise and heat the water molecules inside the figs. This process helps to kill harmful microorganisms and make the figs last longer.

The industrial microwave fig fumigation method provides faster and more effective destruction of harmful organisms than other methods. This method is also environmentally friendly and produces less chemical waste than other chemical fumigation methods thanks to the use of phosphine gas.
As a result, the industrial microwave fig fumigation method is an effective method that allows figs to last longer and maintain their quality.

Advantages

Industrial microwave drying is a process in which microwaves are used to remove moisture from oranges or other fruit. This process is typically used to extend the shelf life of the fruit or to prepare it for further processing.

  • Fast and Effective : Industrial microwave fumigation of figs is a faster and more effective method for killing harmful organisms than other methods. In this way, the storage time of figs is shortened and their quality is preserved longer.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Industrial microwave fig fumigation produces less chemical waste than other chemical fumigation methods thanks to the use of phosphine gas. In this way, it is considered an environmentally friendly method.
  • Easy to Use: Industrial microwave fig fumigation is an easy-to-use method. It is sufficient to place the figs on a special carrier and place them in the industrial microwave oven.
  • Energy Efficient: Industrial microwave ovens heat the water molecules inside the figs using electromagnetic waves. In this way, it consumes less energy than other methods.
  • Quality Protection: Apart from killing harmful organisms, industrial microwave fig fumigation also preserves the quality of the figs. In this way, the flavour, aroma and appearance of figs are preserved.

As a result, industrial microwave fig fumigation method is a fast, effective, environmentally friendly, easy to use, energy efficient and quality preserving method. Therefore, it is a preferred method by fig producers.

The method of industrial microwave fumigation of figs can be used in many sectors of the food industry. Some of them are :

  • Fig Producers: Fig producers use fig fumigation to kill harmful organisms before storing their products. In this way, the quality of their products is maintained and the shelf life is extended.
  • Food Processing Industry: In the production phase of these products, fig fumigation method is used to kill harmful organisms.
  • Exporters: Figs are among the important export products of Turkey. Exporters use fig fumigation method to ensure that their products comply with international standards.
  • Logistics Companies: Figs are transported at many stages from the place of production to the point of consumption. Logistics companies use fig fumigation to prevent products from being infected by harmful organisms en route.
  • Storage and Packaging Companies: Figs are stored and packaged by storage and packaging companies to maintain the quality of the products. At this stage, fig fumigation method is used to protect the quality of the products.

As a result, fig fumigation method is used by many sectors such as fig producers, food processing industry, exporters, logistics companies and storage-packaging companies.
