More and more food industries are now using UV food sterilizer to sterilize and disinfect food. With this comes the fact that many people feel that they can’t eat food with UV sterilizers. Because they are worried that it is harmful to their health. In fact, food that has been sterilized using a UV food sterilizer machine is perfectly safe.
为什么紫外线食品灭菌器安全？
UV is electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 10 nm and 400 nm. This destroys the DNA of bacteria and viruses, rendering them incapable of reproduction. Because the sterilization process does not require heat, it will not destroy the nutrients and natural flavor of the food. The DNA molecules that are damaged by UV light will be broken down when they enter the body. Therefore, no harmful substances are produced. So, although UV has the ability to cause cancer. But the food treated with UV sterilization equipment is no safety problems.
紫外线灭菌器的起源
杀菌用紫外线实际上在100多年前就已被研究。然而，早期的研究应用受到紫外线灯、紫外线传感器等硬件生产技术的限制。随着时代的发展，紫外线消毒器变得越来越先进，逐渐展现出低成本、对顽固微生物的卓越效果和高效率的优势。还开发出了不同形式的紫外线食品灭菌器，如风柜型、管道型、炉型、隧道型、板型等。
紫外线灭菌设备的优点
- 紫外线食品灭菌器具有反应时间短、灭菌速度快的优点。
- 无需使用化学品即可避免二次污染的可能性。
- 运行成本低廉。
