A Microwave Pasteurizer designed and developed by FAMU researchers in the College of Agriculture and Food Sciences has received The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) 2020 AE50 Award.


The system pasteurizes raw foods such as eggs, shellfish, fruits, vegetables and meats to diminish harmful pathogens to undetectable levels without altering the raw food’s characteristics. The new microwave allows consumers to enjoy their favorite raw foods without contracting salmonella, e. coli and other other potentially harmful illnesses.


“Our new technology creates a safe way to eat raw food," said Satyanarayan Dev, Ph. D., assistant professor of biological systems engineering in the College of Agriculture and Food Sciences at FAMU.


ASABE is an international organization dedicated to the advancement of engineering applicable to agricultural, food and biological systems. Its AE50 Awards honor the year’s most innovative designs in engineering products or systems for the food and agriculture industries.


FAMU's Microwave Pasteurizer will be featured in the January/February 2020 special issue of ASABE’s magazine.
