의 화합물) 또는 아질산염(아질산 이온

의 화합물)을 아미노기(

)로 변환시켜 채소를 산화를 방지하기 위해서이다. 즉, 채소를 수확하기 전에 채소를 통통하게 보기에 좋게 가공하기 위해 질소 비료를 많이 사용할 수 있다. 하지만, 질소 비료는 채소에 질산염으로 축적되어 체내에서 산화를 촉진할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 발명의 채소 독성 제거기를 사용하여, 식탁에 올라오거나 식당에서 제공되는 채소에 포함될 수 있는 질산염 또는 아질산염을 광합성을 통해 아미노기로 변환하여 섭취함으로써 체내의 항산화력을 높일 수 있다.On the other hand, the purpose of the photosynthesis by the vegetable toxicity eliminator of the present invention is to remove the nitrate (nitrate ion

) Or nitrite (nitrite ion

) With an amino group (

) In order to prevent the oxidation of the vegetable. That is, a lot of nitrogen fertilizer can be used to make vegetables look good before they are harvested. Nitrogen fertilizer, however, can accumulate as nitrates in vegetables and promote oxidation in the body. Therefore, by using the vegetable toxicity eliminator of the present invention, it is possible to increase the antioxidant power in the body by converting nitrate or nitrite, which can be contained in vegetable or vegetable food, into an amino group through photosynthesis.

Further, the object of the vegetable toxicity eliminator of the present invention is to disinfect vegetables or to synthesize vitamin D in vegetables.

The light irradiating unit 140 may include at least one of a first LED lamp and a second LED lamp that can generate light when power is supplied to irradiate vegetables. The light irradiating unit 140 can irradiate light to the vegetable so that the vegetable can be photosynthetic. The reason why the LED lamp 150 is used as the light irradiation unit is that it can irradiate light of a specific wavelength range effective for photosynthesis. The light irradiation unit 140 may use a first LED lamp for photosynthesis of vegetables. The wavelength generated by the first LED lamp for photosynthesis of the vegetable may include at least one of the first light having a wavelength of 640 nm to 730 nm and the second light having a wavelength of any one of 380 nm to 430 nm . The first light may be a red light region of the visible light region, and the second light may be a purple light region of the visible light region.

The second LED lamp may include an ultraviolet lamp that disinfects the vegetables stored in the storage part 100 or irradiates the ultraviolet rays of vegetables so that the vegetables synthesize vitamin D. The ultraviolet lamp may include at least one of a first ultraviolet lamp having a wavelength of 250 nm to 260 nm for disinfecting the vegetable and a second ultraviolet lamp having a wavelength of 260 nm to 300 nm for synthesizing vitamin D.

1 and 2, in one embodiment, the light irradiation unit 140 may include at least one of a first LED lamp and a second LED lamp in a storage unit 100 in which vegetables are stored at random have. In one embodiment, the light irradiating unit 140 may include at least one of a red light and a purple light of the first LED lamp, a first ultraviolet lamp and a second ultraviolet lamp of the second LED lamp. The light irradiation unit 140 may be installed in at least two or more areas of the upper and lower sides of the storage unit 100 and the slopes around the storage unit 100. [ At least one light source may be installed in each support rod 120. Since the at least one LED lamp 150 is not transparent to transparent plastic or glass, it may be important to illuminate the LED lamp 150 in a number of directions to expose the vegetable to the LED light.

As shown in FIG. 3, in another embodiment, the light irradiation unit 140 may include at least one of a first LED lamp and a second LED lamp in a storage unit 100 in which vegetables are stored. 2, the light irradiation unit 140 may be installed on at least two areas of the upper and lower sides of the storage unit 100, and the slopes around the storage unit 100. In addition, the light irradiation unit 140 may be installed on eight surfaces of the cross-shaped support rods 120, respectively.

4, as another embodiment, the light irradiation unit 140 may be installed in at least two areas of the upper and lower sides of the storage unit 100, and the slopes around the storage unit 100 have. Also, the light irradiation unit 140 may be installed on a transparent support 130 having a cross-shaped support bar 120 connected thereto.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, since the light emitted from the light irradiation unit 140 is irradiated to the vegetable at almost right angles, the efficiency of photosynthesis can be increased. Therefore, by converting the nitrate or nitrite contained in the vegetable into the amino group, the efficiency of the antioxidative action can be increased. Then, the vegetables stored in the storage portion 100 may be disinfected or the vegetables may synthesize vitamin D.

Since water is required for photosynthesis of vegetables, when water is supplied to the storage unit 100, the water can be collected on the lower side of the storage unit 100. Accordingly, the water receiver 170 for storing water can be detachably installed on the lower side of the storage unit 100. Water may be supplied to the inside of the storage unit 100 for photosynthesis of the vegetables, so that humidity inside the storage unit 100 may be high. Therefore, it is preferable that the light irradiation unit 140 is installed to be waterproof or electrically insulated.

The light irradiation unit 140 may include a transparent case that surrounds the storage unit 100 so that light necessary for photosynthesis may be irradiated to the storage unit 100 regardless of the supply of power. This is because the efficiency of photosynthesis can be enhanced when sunlight is irradiated on the vegetables stored in the storage unit 100 in addition to the LED wavelength irradiated by the light irradiation unit 140.

When the vegetable toxicity eliminator of the present invention is used, it may be a preferable method to place it in a sunny place in order to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis. This is because the efficiency of photosynthesis can be increased to quickly remove the nitrate contained in the vegetable.

The vegetable toxicity eliminator of the present invention may include a timer that notifies the user of the lapse of time after the nitrate contained in the vegetable is removed and the time required for the vegetable to synthesize the vitamin D has elapsed. If the timer indicates that a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the user can take out the vegetables from the storage unit 100 and store the tray.

Preferably, the first LED lamp or the second LED lamp is waterproof and electrically insulated.

A water supply unit may be provided to supply water necessary for the photosynthesis of the vegetables stored in the storage unit 100 and a lid 160 for opening and closing the storage unit 100 may be provided.

The moisture supply unit measures the humidity inside the storage unit 100 and supplies moisture to the storage unit 100 when the humidity is less than a predetermined value and controls the moisture of the storage unit 100 according to opening and closing of the lid 160 have.

While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
