41 results about "Log reduction" patented technology

"Log reduction" is a mathematical term (as is "log increase") used to show the relative number of live microbes eliminated from a surface by disinfecting or cleaning. For example, a "5-log reduction" means lowering the number of microorganisms by 100,000-fold, that is, if a surface has 100,000 pathogenic microbes on it,...

Food disinfection using ozone

Methods and apparatus are provided for decreasing the bacteria count of a food commodity without affecting its overall organoleptic quality (taste, odor, and color). This is accomplished using a treatment fluid comprising ozone, which is injected into a treatment chamber containing the food commodity. Some water is preferably added to obtain better contact of the ozone with the food by forming a thin film of ozonated water on the food surface. Spices and / or other ingredients may preferably be added with the water. The food is placed in a tumbler and the tumbler is set in motion. During treatment good contact between the treatment fluid and the food commodity is obtained by reversibly oscillating the tumbler. A log reduction of 40% or more in bacteria count may be obtained as compared without the ozone.

High pressure processing of foods

High pressure processing (HPP) uses isostatic pressure to evenly apply great pressures to foods on all sides of the foods. Because the pressure is isostatic, the food is not deformed, so long as there is no internal cavity in the food. The pressures used are preferably from about 100 MPa (about 14.5 ksi) to about 1000 MPa (about 145 ksi), and the temperature rise is preferably limited to about 3° C. (about 5° F.) per 100 MPa (about 14.5 ksi). The high pressure dramatically reduces pathogens in the food so processed, as much as a four or five-log reduction in counts of colony forming units (CFU). The process has been shown to be effective in achieving these reductions in E. Coli, listeria, and salmonella. Pieces or sticks of beef jerky or sausage may be processed via HPP and combined with cheese to form a food product with a long shelf life.

Laser-based treatment for malaria

InactiveUS20150025600A1Effective germicidal treatmentSemi-permeable membranesOther blood circulation devicesNon pharmacologicalUltraviolet
Malaria, caused by the parasite Plasmodium, is a devastating disease killing more than 800,000 people a year worldwide. Plasmodium replicates within erythrocytes by digesting hemoglobin, producing haemozoin as a byproduct which accumulates within the parasite. The development of vaccines is hampered by lack of memory immune response, while the long-term effectiveness of current anti-malaria drugs is limited due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains. Furthermore, people who are deficient of the enzyme glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase exhibit fatally-adverse drug effects. To overcome these hurdles, I propose a novel laserbased, non-pharmacological treatment for malaria. The treatment is based on the ability of haemozoin to convert light in the near infra-red into ultra-violet (UV) radiation via Third Harmonic Generation. The UV light produced by haemozoin can in turn kill the parasite. In experiments with infected erythrocytes we obtained a 4-log reduction in parasetemia following six passes of the blood through the laser beam.
