Abstract
Experiments were performed in order to determine the microbicidal effect of ultraviolet irradiation using a high intensity UV lamp recently developed by BBC, Baden (Switzerland). Conidiae of molds, Baccilus-spores and vegetative cells of yeasts were killed within a few seconds. The germicidal effect of UV-rays upon B. subtilis spores was further studied in dependence of the distance from the UV-lamp, the angle of inclination of the irradiated plane and the humidity of air. The efficiency of the tested UV-lamp seems to be sufficient for its use in aseptic plants provided that the irradiated packaging materials are smooth, UV-resistant and rather free of dust particles.
