How does Amazon's new food preservation technology work?

Amazon is getting deeper and deeper into the food space.

Before, Amazon spent $137 billion to acquire Whole Foods, the largest natural and organic food retailer in the United States, and Amazon was interested in food preservation technology.

Amazon is always looking for a way to preserve food that doesn't change taste or require refrigeration.More importantly, the technology should be cheap and easy for restaurants to stock up on.

How does Amazon's new food preservation technology work?

The microwave-assisted thermal sterilization (MATS) technology, commercialized in 2012, has again been hyped by tech companies.

This technology soaks packaged food in high-pressure hot water and heats it with microwaves at a frequency of 915MHz.

This quickly eliminates disease-causing and spoilage microorganisms from food, producing food that is more nutritious and tastes better than conventional treatments.

Michael Locatis, CEO of startup 915 Labs, claims he was invited to present the technology at its Seattle headquarters after meeting people from Amazon at SIAL in Paris last year.

According to him, the preservation technology can keep food on the shelf for up to a year without changing its taste.

This small company from Denver, USA also claimed to have obtained the original technology patent of microwave-assisted thermal sterilization (MATS) from Washington State University, however earlier this year, Amazon also sent a team to contact the development of microwave-assisted thermal sterilization ( Professor Tang Juming of MATS) technology.

At present, Amazon has not responded to this news.

A source close to the source revealed that this is related to Amazon's takeaway business, which may include options such as beef stew and vegetables, scrambled eggs and other options next year.

Amazon logistics strength is considered to be Walmart + FedEx

In fact, at the end of 2014, Amazon was the first to launch a food delivery business at its Seattle headquarters.

A year later, the platform was directly transformed into a food delivery service platform.It has since attracted 150 Michelin-starred restaurants and fine dining chains in London.

Archipelago chef and manager Daniel Creedon used to worry: "While delivery is a business we've been thinking about, we don't have the confidence to serve our customers the best possible food."

While Amazon's logistics prowess was once considered Walmart plus FedEx, Amazon has problems delivering meals.

Its U.S. delivery service also offers fast food that doesn't require special storage, such as pizza, burgers, cokes, and more.

But if the technology is fully implemented, its help will be more than just takeaways.

Amazon can win a larger market by enriching consumer choice.
