The
effect of pulsed light treatment on the inactivation of Salmonella Enteritidis PT 30 on almonds was determined based on
voltage, distance between sample and lamp and treatment time. Almonds were
spot-inoculated with 20 µL of Salmonella
Enteritidis PT 30 culture and then dried for 24 h at an ambient temperature.
Almonds were treated with pulsed light at 3000, 3400 and 3800V at distances of
14.1 or 19.1 cm for 20 or 60 s. Pulsed light treatments reduced Salmonella populations by 0.44 to 4.14
log CFU/almond. Almonds treated with 3800V at 14.1 cm distance for 60 s
resulted in a reduction by 4.14 log CFU/almond in Salmonella counts on TSAYE and 4.09 log CFU/almond on XLD agar.
After pulsed light exposure, almond surface temperature increased from 25 to
35-50ºC depending on treatment conditions. Results indicated that pulsed light had
a potential to be used in the microbial inactivation of Salmonella in almonds and other low moisture foods.
