Food Processing and Food Transport
Food processing and food transportation are among the most demanding sectors in terms of hygiene and sanitary safety.
Every day, food products move through production lines, sorting facilities, cold storage units, warehouses, distribution centers, and transport vehicles, where even minimal biological contamination can lead to serious health risks, financial losses, and reputational damage for producers and logistics operators.
Sanitary Challenges in the Modern Food Industry
The modern food industry faces constant threats from bacteria, viruses, and fungi present on production surfaces, packaging lines, transport containers, and cold-chain environments.
A particular challenge lies in disinfecting areas that come into direct or indirect contact with food while maintaining product quality, freshness, and consumer safety.
Limitations of Chemical Disinfection Methods
Currently, food processing and transport rely heavily on aggressive chemical disinfectants, including:
- chlorine-based agents,
- peroxides,
- aldehydes,
- ammonium compounds.
While these substances provide rapid antimicrobial action, their use carries the risk of chemical residues that may migrate into food products.
In addition, harsh chemicals accelerate equipment wear, damage processing surfaces, and increase maintenance costs.
Growing regulatory pressure and consumer expectations further emphasize the need to reduce exposure to toxic substances within food production environments.
Graphene Oxide–Based Disinfection Solution
In response to these challenges, INTERMERCATUS Biotech offers an innovative disinfection solution based on a fully natural preparation utilizing graphene oxide technology, specifically designed for applications within the food industry.
Our technology effectively eliminates bacteria, viruses, and fungi without introducing aggressive chemicals or toxic residues into the production environment.
Application and Long-Term Protection
The graphene oxide-based preparation is delivered as a stable aqueous dispersion, allowing safe application on:
food-contact surfaces
cold storage facilities
warehouses
transport vehicles
packaging lines
It does not sediment, does not alter the properties of food products, and remains stable over time.
Importantly, it provides not only immediate antimicrobial action but also a long-lasting microbiological protection, significantly reducing the risk of recontamination.
Supporting Safety, Compliance, and Sustainability
INTERMERCATUS Biotech solutions support food producers and logistics operators in meeting strict sanitary and quality standards while enabling a transition toward a safer and more sustainable disinfection model.
Graphene-based technology enhances food safety, extends the lifespan of processing infrastructure, and minimizes the environmental impact of sanitation processes.
A New Hygiene Standard for the Food Industry
Graphene oxide-based disinfection for food processing and transport represents a new hygiene standard aligned with the real needs of the modern food industry.
It is a standard in which quality, safety, and responsibility go hand in hand.
