To Protect Stored Food from Mites
Professor Hoi-Seon Lee (Bioenvironmental Chemistry) and team succeeded in separating and refining new biomaterial that can control mites in stored foodusing forget-me-not flowers (myosotis arvensis).Stored food mites are distributed in large quantities in foods, food storages, grain storages, hay, and grain flour,causing food spoilage. They also cause allergic diseases such as bronchitis, asthma, and enteritis in food and grain handlers, which is an international problem, so the development of ..
