Inactivation of Aspergillus carbonarius and Aspergillus flavus in malting barley by pulsed light and impact on germination capacity and microstructure
The impact of pulsed light (PL) fluence on reduction of Aspergillus carbonarius and Aspergillus flavus conidia in barley grains (aw 0.60 and 0.98), germinability and structure was studied. Treatments were done for 5–75 s at 5 and 10 cm distance from the flash lamp (fluence: 11.0–165.8 J/cm2 at 5 cm,...
