Pulsed UV-light treatment of corn meal for inactivation of Aspergillus niger spores
2003-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Fungal contamination of grains, intended for human and animal consumption, during the pre/post-harvest periods has been a recurring health hazard. A pulsed UV-light system was used to inactivate fungal spores of Aspergillus niger in corn meal. Response surface methodology was utilized for experimental design. The three process parameters evaluated were treatment time (20-100 s), voltage input (2000-3800 V), and di...
