LUBBOCK, TEXAS — MicroZap, Inc. is seeking a strategic partner for its microwave technology designed to eliminate bread mold and increase shelf life, possibly to as long as 60 days, said Don Stull, chief executive officer of the Lubbock-based company.Texas Tech University in Lubbock owns the MicroZap technology and licenses it worldwide to MicroZap, also in Lubbock. One published study showed MicroZap extended white bread’s shelf life to 60 days.MicroZap needs to find a strategic partner to create a microwave big enough for industrial use, Mr. Stull said. MicroZap also has applied for grant money to develop a microwave for home use.“We’ve got one on the drawing board,” Mr. Stull said.The MicroZap technology involves treating the bread for 10 seconds inside a microwave oven that is designed for pathogen reduction. The microwave is similar to ones used in homes and does not have cancer-causing irradiation, Mr. Stull said.
