Conference Abstract Book

Emerging non-thermal technologies in Dairy Processing • Ultraviolet C (UV-C) -- Ultraviolet processing involves the use of radiation from the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum for purposes of disinfection. DNA/RNA damage by UV-C light at 254 nm • High Pressure Processing (HPP) - High pressures disrupt noncovalent bonds such as ionic and hydrophobic bonds (i.e. biomolecules proteins and nucleic acids). • High Pressure Homogenization (HPH) -- High pressure combined with cavitation, shear stress, and turbulence, impingement and temperature, which may increase due to friction. • Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF) - Disrupts membranes and proteins via electric pulses.
