Influence of Temperature and Time on Bacterial Disinfection of Egg Trays for Cricket Rearing Using Ultraviolet Radiation and Hot Air
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aimed to study the influence of temperature and time on bacterial disinfection of egg trays for cricket rearing using ultraviolet (UV) radiation and hot air. The egg trays were subjected to bacterial disinfection at 3 different temperatures including 40, 50 and 60°C for 12 different times including 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 min. From the experiments, it was found that when the temperature and time used for disinfection of egg trays increased, the capacity of the UV/hot air disinfection chamber tended to decrease, while the electric power consumption of the UV/hot air disinfection chamber tended to increase. The optimum temperature and time for disinfecting bacteria on egg trays is 60°C and 5 min, respectively. By using the above-mentioned temperature and time, the UV/hot air chamber could kill Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria contaminating the egg trays with the capacity with the capacity of 100 trays/h and the electric power consumption of 0.45 kwh.
