# 2022 MikuyTec |
|
One third of the world's food supply is wasted annually, a costly dilemma representing 4% of Co2 emissions.
Eco-friendly MikuyTec has been designed to protect against the microbial fungi which are frequently the cause of food deterioration and wastage. The spray contains antifungal peptides which, when sprayed on fruits and vegetable pre and post-harvest, protects against the microbes by adhering to the outer layers of the food and attacking the fungi, thus prolonging shelf life.
My name is Darwin Paul Diaz Cancino student of Agroindustrial Engineering at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. I like the area of engineering with application in food and the optimization and transformation of them. I have specializations in industrial biotechnology, food safety and entrepreneurship. I am director and founder of Origami Group Peru, an organization of engineers with the purpose of carrying out social projects through disciplines such as engineering and basic sciences. So far we have carried out the project "Domes to educate" with which we have impacted more than 1000 people. more
