Valley Bio Limited aims to validate and optimize their existing grain and seed sanitization technology in order to maximize thex000D
processes efficiency, all while minimizing potential downstream negative effects to grain and seed storage. Microorganismx000D
contamination, being one of the main factors to seed spoilage, can be significantly reduced when the seed and grain is treated properly prior to storage thus leading to a higher grain quality with reduced loss of revenue.x000D
The main objective of this collaboration is to support Valley Bio Limited in determining the effects of their dissolved ozonex000D
treatment on hempseed oxidation (i.e. is it accelerated), and furthermore correlating that the process decreases microbial counts.x000D
The Technology Access Centre in Bio-Innovation will also help Valley Bio Ltd. to further develop their method by optimizingx000D
specific parameters and validating the downstream effects.x000D
The role of the Technology Access Centre in Bio-Innovation will be to support Valley Bio Limited in determining any effects tox000D
hempseed following seed coat treatment with dissolved ozone. They will also collaborate and apply technical modifications to the process, that might make the technology more efficient.x000D
The outcome of this partnership will help put in place affordable industry standards for hemp seed sanitization. The aim is to make this technology easily transferrable to other agricultural sectors such as grains and nuts, thus leading to a more profitable Canadian economy.
