In liquid foods, various given physical properties affect simultaneously the inactivation of microorganisms by UV-C treatment. Here, the effect of absorption, turbidity and viscosity on the efficiency of UV-C inactivation in a coiled tube reactor was investigated. Model solutions with Escherichia co...
