This research study about how to minimize contamination of raw materials. The bulk of the vegetable is a vegetable commonly used in food.
Pulsed Light (PL) technology is an alternative to thermal treatment for killing pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms in foods, including bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses.
The treatment consists in applying a series of very short, high power pulses of broad spectrum light. Xenon , flash lamps emit an optical spectrum that covers a range of wavelengths from the UV cut off of the envelope material (about 180 nm) to IR (around 1100 nm)
