(IJSET, 2017-02)The aim of this study is to investigate the development and optimization of a highintensity, pulsed plasma, gas-discharge (PPGD) system as a novel environmental decontamination approach for treating unwanted microbial and ... -
Effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection procedures on the removal of enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus from infant feeding bottles.
(International Association for Food Protection, 1998)Reconstituted infant milk formulas are considered a food class of high risk because of the susceptibility of the infant population to enteric bacterial pathogens, severe response to enterotoxins, and increased mortality. ... -
Bacteriological quality of infant milk forumlae examined under a variety of preparation and storage conditions.
(International Association for Food Protection, 1997-09)One hundred infant milk formulae (IMFs), representative of the 10 leading brands available in the UK, were subjected to a variety of preparation and storage conditions. Each IMF was the subject of triplicate trials in which ... -
Comparative studies on the novel sterilisation of Irish retailed infant milk formula using electron beam and pulsed light treatments.
(IJSET, 2016)This constitutes the first study to compare use of electron beam (EB) irradiation and pulsed light (PL) for novel sterilisation of infant mik formula retailed in Ireland. The microbiological quality of 60 powdered infant ... -
Detection, fate and inactivation of pathogenic Norovirus employing settlement and UV treatment in wastewater treatment facilities.
(Elsevier, 2016-10)It is accepted that discharged wastewaters can be a significant source of pathogenic viruses in receiving water bodies contributing to pollution and may in turn enter the human food chain and pose a risk to human health, ... -
