Abstract
⺠A centrifugal UV irradiator nonthermally inactivated microorganisms in grapefruit juice. ⺠The centrifugal irradiator formed a very thin film of juice which is conducive to UV treatment. ⺠Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in grapefruit juice were reduced by 5 and 6 log, respectively. ⺠Treatment took 3.2 s and used a fraction of the energy of traditional thermal pasteurization. ⺠Grapefruit juice may be pasteurized using a nonthermal UV irradiator that centrifugally forms a thin film.
