Attenuation of 10 MeV electron beam energy to achieve low doses does not affect Salmonella spp. inactivation kinetics Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • 2015 Elsevier Ltd. The effect of attenuating the energy of a 10MeV electron beam on Salmonella inactivation kinetics was investigated. No statistically significant differences were observed between the D10 values of either Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- or a Salmonella cocktail (S. 4,[5],12:i:-, Salmonella Heidelberg, Salmonella Newport, Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella) when irradiated with either a non-attenuated 10MeV eBeam or an attenuated 10MeV eBeam (~2.90.22MeV). The results show that attenuating the energy of a 10MeV eBeam to achieve low doses does not affect the inactivation kinetics of Salmonella spp. when compared to direct 10MeV eBeam irradiation.
