Currency is the primary mode of transmission of microbes and infection. Currency sanitization is a simple and least expensive means of preventing infection. Various sanitizing products are on the market in the form of antimicrobial and alcohol-based sanitizers which are meant to reduce/remove microbial load of the skin. The UV-C currency sanitizer is one of the best sanitizer for currency sanitization. This paper provides information about the Design of Currency Sanitizer Using UV-C Light. It is simple a currency sanitizing device which use ultraviolet–C type light of wavelength (254nm) to sanitize the currency surface. In which 254nm wavelength two 4w of light has used for sanitization the highest disinfectant capacity. Keywords: Currency Sanitization, UV-C light

Objective: Owing to the habit of consuming ready food among the citizens of Malaysia a study was conducted to evaluate 20 samples of canned soya milk for the presence of possible microbial content. The samples were collected randomly from shopping malls, restaurants and kiosk in Ipoh Malaysia. Methods: All samples collected across Ipoh, were subjected to test for presence bacteria in nutrient agar, blood agar and macConkey media. The possible microbial load was swapped from surface and soya milk content with a sterile cotton and streaked on nutrient agar, blood agar and macConkey culture media. The streaked petri plates were incubated for 48 hours at 37oC. Results: The study revealed negative microbial growth in all except two samples from the surface and soya milk content collected from a restaurant in nutrient agar and blood agar medium. The presence of microbes was conformed as gram positive staphylococcus sp. through gram staining. The positive growth may be imputed to poor storage condition at the restaurant. Conclusion: It can be computed from the study that the majority of the samples were free from bacterial growth, suggesting strong in house quality control mechanism at the processing unit and exquisite storage conditions in malls and kiosk suggesting that soya milk available in malls and kiosk are fit for human consumption.
