ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of simultaneous UV-A and UV-B irradiation (UV-A+B) for inactivating Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes in both phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and apple juice. A cocktail of the three pathogens was inoculated into PBS and apple juice, and then the suspensions were irradiated with UV lamps of 356 nm (UV-A) and 307 nm (UV-B). Significant (P < 0.05) log reductions of the three pathogens in PBS and apple juice were observed after a maximum dose of UV-B alone or the UV-A+B treatment, but few reductions were observed upon UV-A treatment alone. At all irradiation times, antagonistic effects were observed for the application of UV-A+B against in E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, and L. monocytogenes in PBS and apple juice. The degree of antagonistic effect in apple juice was greater than that in PBS. The results of this study suggest that the combined treatment of commercial UV-A and UV-B lamps would be impractical for disinfecting juice products. HIGHLIGHTS
