Book Part Applications of Light-Emitting Diodes in Liquid Foods(Apple Academic Press, 2025) Cankal, Y.S.; Ünlütürk, S.Recently, there has been increased interest in investigating alternative nonthermal processes to maintain the quality of liquid food products while preserving their nutritional value. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation technology is one such method and has been widely explored for liquid food products. Low or medium-pressure mercury vapor lamps are used in this technology. Since these lamps contain mercury known to have toxic effects on the human body and the environment [18], the use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has become prominent as an ultraviolet light source. LEDs are created using non-toxic semiconductor material, which allows emitting in different wavelengths. Recently, Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology has been emerging as a non-thermal and non-chemical treatment for surface disinfection and preservation of solid and liquid food materials. This chapter emphasizes the application and effectiveness of LEDs of different wavelengths in liquid food processing and storage. © 2025 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.Book Part Light-Emitting Diodes: Mechanism of Inactivation of Microorganisms and Effects on Different Microorganisms(Apple Academic Press, 2025) Cankal, Y.S.; Ünlütürk, S.UV lights are widely used for surface disinfection, sterilization of water, and various liquid foods. The usage of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has become prominent as a light source for sterilization and decontamination of materials. LEDs have been widely investigated for water treatment. However, there are limited studies on the use of LEDs for food materials due to their low light transmittance capabilities. To develop the most effective treatment for sterilization and decontamination purposes in food processing, it is necessary to know what the different microbial inactivation mechanisms of LEDs are and what their limitations are for use. This chapter includes discussions on the microbial inactivation efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of different wavelengths; and the inactivation mechanisms of various microorganisms (such as bacteria, viruses, molds, algae, and yeast). © 2025 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.
