Ultraviolet (UV-C) light-emitting diode (LED) light at a wavelength of 250-280 nm was used to disinfect skinless chicken breast (CB), stainless steel (SS) and high-density polyethylene (HD) inoculated with . Irradiances of 2 mW/cm (50%) or 4 mW/cm (100%) were used to treat samples at different exposure times. Chicken samples had the lowest reduction with 1.02 and 1.78 Log CFU/cm ( ≤ 0.05) after 60 and 900 s, respectively at 50% irradiance. Higher reductions on CB were obtained with 100% illumination after 900 s (>3.0 Log CFU/cm). on SS was reduced by 1.97 and 3.48 Log CFU/cm after 60 s of treatment with 50% and 100% irradiance, respectively. HD showed a lower decrease of , but still statistically significant ( ≤ 0.05), with 1.25 and 1.77 Log CFU/cm destruction for 50 and 100% irradiance after 60 s, respectively. Longer exposure times of HD to UV-C yielded up to 99.999% (5.0 Log CFU/cm) reduction of with both irradiance levels. While UV-C LED treatment was found effective to control on chicken and food contact surfaces, we propose three mechanisms contributing to reduced efficacy of disinfection: bacterial aggregation, harboring in food and work surface pores and light absorption by fluids associated with CB.
采用波长为250 - 280 nm的紫外线(UV - C)发光二极管(LED)灯对接种了……的去皮鸡胸肉(CB)、不锈钢(SS)和高密度聚乙烯(HD)进行消毒。分别以2 mW/cm(50%)或4 mW/cm(100%)的辐照度在不同暴露时间处理样品。在50%辐照度下,鸡肉样品分别在60秒和900秒后,菌落形成单位(CFU)减少量最低,分别为1.02和1.78 Log CFU/cm²(P≤0.05)。在100%光照900秒后,鸡胸肉上获得了更高的菌落形成单位减少量(>3.0 Log CFU/cm²)。在50%和100%辐照度下分别处理60秒后,不锈钢上的菌落形成单位分别减少了1.97和3.48 Log CFU/cm²。高密度聚乙烯上的菌落形成单位减少量较低,但仍具有统计学意义(P≤0.05),在50%和100%辐照度下60秒后,分别有1.25和1.77 Log CFU/cm²的破坏。高密度聚乙烯对UV - C的暴露时间延长,在两种辐照度水平下均使菌落形成单位减少高达99.999%(5.0 Log CFU/cm²)。虽然发现UV - C LED处理对控制鸡肉和食品接触表面的……有效,但我们提出了三种导致消毒效果降低的机制:细菌聚集、隐匿于食品和工作表面孔隙以及与鸡胸肉相关的液体对光的吸收。
