Evaluation of ultraviolet radiation to control microorganisms adhering to low-density polyethylene films Avaliação da radiação ultravioleta no controle de microrganismos aderidos em filmes de polietileno de baixa densidade

Efficiency of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in reducing the cell number of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli K-12 adhered to low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films was evaluated. The microorganisms were let to adhere to the surface of LPDE bags for 12h at 18ºC, and then submitted to...
