Abstract

Recently UV radiation in the European Union (EU) is
being used almost in every industry and is replacing chemical substances for
sterilization. UV sterilization in polymers used as packaging in the dairy
industry in fermented products is necessary. UV-C radiation in the spectrum
(200-280 nm) is most suitable for creating DNA defects for the purpose of
destruction of hydrogen bond and amine bond between pyrimidine bases and the
formation of highly stable covalent bonds in DNA. The quality of food products
is one of the biggest challenges in food technology. As a researcher we have
been researching in this field to provide a higher quality to food products in
the sterilization of packaging (PET, LDPE, HDPE) from microorganisms. During
the research we have found that the combination of ultraviolet (UV) and
hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) are the strongest guarantors in
the destruction of microorganisms and the formation of major defect in DNA.

Keywords
