The moth infestation of products stands out as one of the biggest problems experienced by consumers in the rice and pulses category. While this situation hinders healthy and safe food consumption, it can become a bigger problem, especially in hot and humid weather. The complaints about this are mainly: “I try to unpack the products and put them in glass jars to prevent moth infestation. I even put garlic, salt or bay leaf in it. I have to store it in the refrigerator in the summer.” The alternative solutions produced by our consumers do not provide an effective result in the long term. There are many chemical procedures in the food industry that prevent moth infestation. However, the risk of residue from these chemicals used in these procedures is a known fact.
At Hasata, we use “Controlled Atmosphere Technology”, which is an effective and natural method to prevent the problem of moth infestation and weevils in our production and to preserve the freshness of our products. Thanks to Controlled Atmosphere Technology, we prevent moth infestation by packaging in conditions where the oxygen ratio is regulated and we ensure that the products we produce carefully preserve their freshness, taste and naturalness until the moment of consumption. This technology, which does not require different preservation methods such as transferring to a jar, storing in the refrigerator, adding salt, garlic or bay leaf, offers the most effective solution to the moth infestation problem provided that our product packages are stored in the right conditions.
The Controlled Atmosphere Technology is based on the principle of preventing the formation of larvae and weevils in the pulses by taking action against weevils at the spawning stage, when they are not yet visible to the eye. The oxygen required for the formation of weevils is reduced, and nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases, which are also present in the atmosphere, are introduced instead. This technology offers a 99% guarantee against weevils when appropriate storage conditions are observed.
