MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511114132 A) filed by Integral University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, on Nov. 20, 2025, for 'an intelligent multi-stage fruits and vegetables processing and preservation system.'
Inventor(s) include Ambreen Siddiqui; and Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed herein are an intelligent multi-stage fruits and vegetables processing and preservation system with nutrient retention and health optimization (100) comprises a multi-stage adaptive processing line (102) that performs sequential sorting, washing, peeling, cutting, blanching, dehydration, freezing, and packaging. A real-time nutrient and bioactive sensor module (104) monitors vitamins, antioxidants, and enzymes during processing, while a microbial safety monitoring module (106) detects microbial load and triggers sterilization when thresholds are exceeded. An adaptive thermal treatment module (108) regulates heat conditions dynamically to retain nutrients, and an intelligent dehydration and freeze-drying unit (110) optimizes temperature, vacuum, and airflow for nutrient preservation. A bioactive enrichment module (112) infuses antioxidants, vitamins, or probiotics, and a smart modified atmosphere packaging module (114) adjusts gas composition to extend shelf-life. An IoT-enabled process control module (116) ensures adaptive optimization, while a predictive shelf-life estimation engine (118) evaluates nutrient and microbial data for real-time quality assessment."
