Abstract:
Pulsed light is a non-thermal sterilization method that uses brief intense pulses or flashes of white light to kill micro-organisms. This article discusses tests performed on blow/fill/seal containers. The results suggest that pulsed light has potential as a terminal sterilization method for filled and sealed transmissive products and packages. It also examines the effectiveness of pulsed light in eliminating water-borne pathogenic organisms.
