Abstract: A process for treating, by means of eugenol or clove oil, reservoirs for storing cereals, oil-producing plants, dry fruit or dry vegetables contaminated with mycotoxins.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for treating, by means of eugenol or clove oil, reservoirs for storing cereals, oil-producing plants, dry fruit or dry vegetables contaminated with mycotoxins.

Abstract: The invention concerns a fog treatment method using a liquid composition for treating fruits and vegetables, characterised in that it consists in producing a fog treatment mist consisting of droplets having a temperature ranging between 200 and 280° C. and driven at a linear speed ranging between 110 and 140 m/s. More precisely, said method consists in forming said fog treatment mist in the outlet of the cylindrical channel by injecting, at the intake of said channel, said composition into a hot air jet sprayed at high speed into said channel intake, the hot air jet temperature before injection being between 550 and 750° C. and said hot air jet linear speed, before injection, ranging between 160 and 400 m/s. One particular preferred embodiment consists in using a treatment composition based on eugenol and/or isoeugenol.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for treating fruit and vegetables, including the steps of: bringing a liquid treating composition to a temperature of from 40 to 60° C., this composition containing, in an aqueous vehicle, one or more tocopherols which may be in the form of salts acceptable for food use; and applying the said treating composition to the fruit and vegetables by immersion or spraying, the immersion or spraying being continued for a time of less than or equal to 10 minutes, any process using, as treating composition, a composition containing one or more tocopherols in combination with a terpene chosen from eugenol, isoeugenol, their salts acceptable for food use and their mixtures being excluded from the context of the invention. This process is particularly suitable for treating lettuce, apples and pears after harvesting.

Abstract: A process for the treatment of fruits or vegetables after harvesting by heating to a temperature of 40.degree. to 60.degree. C. a treatment composition including, in an aqueous vehicle, a terpenic compound, and then bringing the fruits or vegetables into contact with the composition at such temperature for a period of less than or equal to 10 minutes.
