Uv light meat processing.
The rate of product discolouration depends on the intensity of light and wavelength distribution used for retail display in combination with the light permeability of the packaging material.
Uv light can play a critical role in brown discolouration of meat since it encourages metmyoglobin formation.
One of the disadvantages of continuous uv light is the induction of oxidation processes in meat which afterward changes its sensorial properties paškevičiūtė and lukšienė 2009.
These powerful lamps provide safeguards in meat processing facilities for air water disinfection and liquid purification.
Surface application of uv light after production can offer an attractive alternative method to eliminate or control the growth of post processing contamination.
They emit uv c energy at 254 nanometers a wavelength that s lethal to virtually all microorganisms with proper dosage.
Other promising uses of uv light are the disinfection of air and water used in dairy plant and surface decontamination of food contact surfaces and packaging materials.
The installation of a highly efficient uv disinfection system.
We offer a custom fit exact match for your production conditions coordinated solution that is easy to install and inexpensive from the emitter up to the complete uv module for large ventilation systems.
Its applications include pasteurization of juices post lethality.
Ultraviolet light uv light holds considerable promise in food processing as an alternative to traditional thermal processing.
Hanovia uv disinfection systems are compact and can be easily incorporated into a number of meat processing applications including treatment of wash water brine chillers meat marinade and pickle injectors and also for disinfecting wastewater for reuse in processing.
High vulnerability to viruses and germs in the meat processing industry.
