Response of Some Microorganisms to Ultraviolet Treatment on Fresh-cut Pear

Ultraviolet energy at a wavelength of 253.7 nm (UV-C) was investigated for its microbicidal effects on pear slices with and without peel and inactivation kinetics was successfully fitted using a Weibullian distribution of resistances model.

Efficacy of pulsed UV-light for the decontamination of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. on raspberries and strawberries.

Pulsed UV-light has the potential to be used as a decontamination method for raspberries and strawberries and there was no observable damage to the fruits at these UV doses.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light inactivation as affected by the location of pathogens on the surface and at stem scars of whole grape…

Inhibitory effects of UV treatment and a combination of UV and dry heat against pathogens on stainless steel and polypropylene surfaces.

Results indicate that combined UV and dry heat (50 °C) treatments may be effective for controlling microbial contamination on utensils and cooking equipment surfaces as well as in other related environments.

Effect of UV-C light on the microbial and sensory quality of seasoned dried seafood

The results suggest that 6 to 9 kJ/m2 of UV-C could be used for the inactivation of E. coli and B. cereus in these dried fishery products without any changes in sensory quality, however, S. aureus levels on sliced squid will require a combination ofUV-C light and chemical treatment.

Experimental results indicate that UV irradiation of meat carcasses could effectively increase the lag phase of bacteria multiplication until adequate cooling had occurred, and UV treatment chambers could be easily installed in new or existing meat processing facilities at relatively low cost.

Inhibition of Salmonella typhimurium on agar medium and poultry skin by ultraviolet energy.

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) was effective in destroying Salmonella typhimurium on agar plates and poultry skin and bacterial reduction was less effective on the surface of poultry skin.

Growth and Survival of Salmonella montevideo on Tomatoes and Disinfection with Chlorinated Water.

The survival on tomato fruits of a rifampicin-resistant strain of Salmonella montevideo, the alleged source of the 1993 multistate outbreak of salmonellosis, was affected by inoculum dose and inoculation site (unbroken surface or wounds and stem scars), as well as by the medium used to deliver the bacterium.
