This table2 show the efficacies of SAEW treatment dipping on reducing the microbial populations on the germinated millets The initial microbial populations of total bacteria were 7.37 (log10CFU/ g)and the millet treated by SAEW1, SAEW2 and SAEW3 for 2 h decreased to 6.57, 6.30 and 6.61 log10CFU /1, respectively in comparison with that of the control (7.72 log10CFU g1).The results showed that TW treatment resulted in increasing microbial counts compared. When producing sprouts, the microbial populations in the millets increased during the germination compared with that of millet dipped for 2 h. However, the results showed that all the SAEW treatments could reduce the total microbial counts in compared with the control at 24, 48 and 72 h,
The results showed that SAEW with higher ACC (15 and 30 mg/L) has stronger disinfection efficacy than that of lower ACC (5 mg/L), Generally, current results suggested the all the SAEW treatments could effectively reduce the risk of the microorganism contamination during the germination of millet compared with TW treatment as control
