UV light penetration is a key facto

UV light penetration is a key factor in liquid food irradiationprocesses carried out to inactivate microorganisms. The inactivationeffects of UV on microorganisms in liquid foods not onlydepend on the applied fluence but also on the transmittance, compositionand presence of suspended solids in the product to betreated. Therefore in this work, it is also importantto measure the penetration depth, or the transmittance oflight, through the cell walls and samples under study.
