Efficacy of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) with peak and coupled emissions at 280, 365 and 280/365 nm on inactivation of E. coli K12 in mixed beverage (MB) was investigated. MB comprised of 31.6% carrot, 44.3% carob, 8.7% grape, 10.2% ginger, and 5.2% lemon juice. The impact of UV-LEDs on some physicochemical and phytochemical properti...
In this study, the effects of Ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) on the inactivation of E. coli K12 (ATCC 25253), an indicator organism of E. coli O157:H7, and polyphneoloxidase (PPO) in cloudy apple juice (CAJ) were investigated. The clear (AJ) and cloudy apple juice were exposed to UV rays for 40min by using a UV device composed of four...
Monitoring the quality and safety of milk requires careful analysis of somatic cell count (SCC). High level of SCC is a signal of diseases such as mastitis. Mastitis can be detected not only by measuring the inflammatory components and pathogens but also evaluating the SCC in milk. In this study, somatic cells are counted with direct microscopy and...
