Ultraviolet light in food technology : principles and applications

Shows how UV light irradiation can be used as a physical preservation method in food processing. This book summarizes the findings of published studies that investigate the UV treatment of foods, including international, US FDA, and USDA regulations. It presents the fundamentals of UV light generati...
