Determination of C-t Values in Ozone Disinfection

描述（由申请人提供）：这项小企业创新研究 第二阶段项目涉及设计和开发一种新的、直接的 消毒过程中臭氧C.t值的测定方法 根据最近提交给国会委员会的一份报告，许多公共卫生机构 专家认为，食源性疾病的风险正在增加。虽然臭氧 作为一种环境友好但功能强大的 消毒剂，存在与臭氧测量相关的问题，以及 从而保证食品的充分消毒。在第一阶段，基本上 提出了一种新的石蕊试纸法测定臭氧C.t值， 通过在普通滤纸上浸渍FDA批准的染料而开发。 已开发的消毒验证条的第一阶段测试表明， 该方法用于确定 臭氧消毒过程中C.t值难以测量。 在第二阶段研究中，一系列技术和科学问题 将得到解决，导致目标颜色和C.t范围用于特定的 食品应用。此外，消毒验证条在 通过与工业界的合作， 合作伙伴，将导致建立一个多样化的选择标准化 质量监测条。 本第二阶段提案描述了Lynntech， 股份有限公司、和多个工业合作伙伴，开发这种消毒 验证剥离到适合各种食品使用的程度 处理器. 拟议商业应用：不可用

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project is concerned with the design and development of a new, direct method for determination of ozone C.t values in disinfection processes. According to a recent report to Congressional committees, many public health experts believe that the risk for food-borne illness is increasing. While ozone has excellent potential as an environmentally friendly yet highly powerful disinfecting agent, there are problems associated with ozone measurement, and therefore the sufficient disinfection of foods. During Phase I, a fundamentally new litmus paper-type method for determination of ozone C.t values, was developed through the impregnation of FDA approved dyes on common filter paper. Phase I testing of the developed Disinfection Verification Strips demonstrated the viability, repeatability, and robustness of this method for ascertaining the difficult-to-measure C.t value in ozone disinfection processes. During the Phase II studies, a series of technical and scientific questions will be addressed, leading to targeted color and C.t ranges for use in specific food applications. Further, testing of Disinfection Verification Strips in actual food disinfection processes, through collaboration with industrial partners, will lead toward establishment of a diverse selection of standardized quality monitoring strips. This Phase II Proposal describes a collaborative effort, between Lynntech, Inc., and multiple industrial partners, to develop this Disinfection Verification Strip to a point where it is suitable for use by diverse food processors.
