The present invention relates to a system (100) for the treatment of food products, in particular dried fruit, contaminated by aflatoxins, comprising:—a conveyor line (90) for conveying the food products between an inlet of the system and at least one outlet of the system, said conveyor line (90) having a supporting surface (91) suitable to receive the bulk food products distributed in a uniform layer; and—at least one treatment unit (70) to eliminate, or in any case reduce, the aflatoxins present in food products, said treatment unit (70) being positioned above the conveyor line (90) and comprising one or more ultraviolet light sources (71) with a wavelength between 100 nm and 280 nm oriented to direct at least a part of the light beam onto the layer of food products.
The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) for the inspection and selection of food products contaminated by aflatoxins, in particular dried fruit, comprising a conveyor line (90), a first inspection station (20) with at least one ultraviolet light source (23a, 23b) and an RGB video camera (24) mounted in a housing (21), a first control unit, configured to analyse the images of the video camera to identify products with photoemissions compatible with that of aflatoxins, and a first selection unit (30), placed downstream of the first inspection unit (20), where said selection unit (30) is controlled by the first control unit and is configured to separate the uncontaminated food products from those potentially contaminated and to eject the former toward a collection point.
