Introduction
XENON Corporation’s model RS-3000C 1 Pulsed Light Sterilization system shown below has been utilized in a range of University research studies investigating the efficacy of pulsed ultraviolet (UV) light as a means of decontaminating food surfaces, water, wastewater, air and food contact surfaces. These scientific studies included a range of microorganisms that impact on human health and safety: bacteria, yeasts, molds, spores and viruses. Included within this range of work was the microbial inactivation on food surfaces such as cheese, strawberries, peanut butter, clover honey, chicken frankfurters, milk, ready-to-eat meats, fruits, vegetables and alpha seeds.
The selected abstracts listed in this paper are taken from published research papers covering a period of 2004 thru 2015. Many of these reports offer details on treatment conditions such as pulse energy, pulse duration, number of pulses, pulse rate and target volume, that control achieving microbial reduction on surfaces in the range of 1 to 6 log 10 . These studies offer evidence of achieving inactivation of pathogens using high energy pulsed light.
