Abstract

The potential of electronic pasteurization and sterilization as effective methods for microbial inactivation is examined. These electrotechnologies utilize pulsed electric field, ozone, pulsed corona and pulsed ultraviolet light treatment processes. Preliminary experimental studies indicate that light pulses have a significant bacteriocidal effect on a number of proven bacterial pathogens. The advantages of pulsed power approach include reduction of system requirements, and increased peak power delivery when compared to conventional methods.
