    Microbial Safety and Shelf Life of Uv-C Treated Freshly Squeezed White Grape Juice
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015) Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Atılgan, Mehmet Reşat
    The effects of UV-C irradiation on the inactivation of Escherichia coli K-12 (ATCC 25253), a surrogate of E. coli O157:H7, and on the shelf life of freshly squeezed turbid white grape juice (FSWGJ) were investigated. FSWGJ samples were processed at 0.90 mL/s for 32 min by circulating 8 times in an annular flow UV system. The UV exposure time was 244 s per cycle. The population of E. coli K-12 was reduced by 5.34 log cycles after exposure to a total UV dosage of 9.92 J/cm2 (1.24 J/cm2 per cycle) at 0.90 mL/s flow rate. The microbial shelf life of UV-C treated FSWGJ was extended up to 14 d at 4 °C. UV exposure was not found to alter pH, total soluble solid, and titratable acidity of juice. There was a significant effect (P < 0.05) on turbidity, absorbance coefficient, color, and ascorbic acid content. Furthermore, all physicochemical properties were altered during refrigerated storage. The microbial shelf life of FSWGJ was doubled after UV-C treatment, whereas the quality of juice was adversely affected similarly observed in the control samples. Practical Applications: UV-C irradiation is a non-thermal method used for processing of fruit juices with a minimal or no changes in flavor, essential nutrients, and vitamins. Fresh grape juice is a popular drink, usually consumed at summer time due to many beneficial health effects. Although thermal pasteurization is widely used for extending the shelf life of fruit juices, it causes a "cook taste" in grape juice. The applicability of UV-C irradiation as an alternative to thermal pasteurization was investigated. It is concluded that UV-C treatment can be used for extending the shelf life of fresh grape juice.

    Modeling Inactivation Kinetics of Liquid Egg White Exposed To Uv-C Irradiation
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Atılgan, Mehmet Reşat; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; Ünlütürk, Mehmet S.
    The efficiency of UV-C irradiation as a non-thermal pasteurization process for liquid egg white (LEW) was investigated. LEW inoculated with Escherichia coli K-12 (ATCC 25253), pathogenic strain of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (NCTC12900) and Listeria innocua (NRRL B33314) were treated with UV light using a bench top collimated beam apparatus. Inoculated LEW samples were exposed to UV-C irradiation of known UV intensity of 1.314mW/cm2 and sample depth of 0.153cm for 0, 3 5, 7, 10, 13, 17 and 20min. The populations of E. coli K-12, E. coli O157:H7 and L. innocua were reduced after 20min of exposure by 0.896, 1.403 and 0.960logCFU respectively. Additionally, the inactivation data obtained for each strain suspended in LEW was correlated by using Weibull (2 parameter), Log-Linear (1 parameter), Hom (2 parameter) and modified Chick Watson (2 parameter) models. The inactivation kinetics of E. coli K-12, E. coli O157:H7 and L. innocua were best described by modified Chick Watson model with the smallest root mean squared error (RMSE) (R2≥0.92). © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
