This invention discloses a
vitamin-mediated photodynamic sterilization
reagent, its usage method, and its application, belonging to the field of
food sterilization technology. The sterilizing agent provided by this invention can rapidly generate high concentrations of active substances with sterilization functions, such as
hydrogen peroxide, after being irradiated with LED
blue light, achieving thorough sterilization with a sterilization rate exceeding 99.999%. The inactivated components
pose no safety risks to consumers. It can effectively
delay the proliferation of
total bacterial count and the production of volatile basic
nitrogen in fresh beef at 4°C, thereby extending its
shelf life. The generated ROS has a long half-life, overcoming the serious defects of poor penetration and migration effects in traditional PDI sterilization and significantly extending the sterilization duration. The required
light source is an LED
blue light lamp, which has high luminous efficiency, stable
wavelength, does not produce significant thermal effects, and is durable and has low sterilization costs. It does not require real-time illumination, is easy to use, and can effectively avoid the adverse effects of prolonged
light exposure on
food quality during PDI sterilization.
