| Abstract [eng] |
This work revealed that photosensitization could be effective method for decontamination of Gram positive foodborne pathogens in vitro, from packaging material and different food matrix. Obtained results in vitro suggest that full inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms (7 log) can be achieved. After adhesion of pathogens onto polyolefine surface full inactivation by photosensitization was achieved. Due to different and complicated surfaces the efficacy of photosensitization on food matrix was a little bit lower. However, food pathogens inactivation by 2-3 log is enough for photosensitization to be one of the newest techniques for microbiological food control. |
