Abstract

The aim of the present work is to study the effect of three different microwave power levels of 285, 385 and 470 W and alternating mixed treatments (20 seconds in microwave and 20 seconds sudden cooling) repeated one, two and three times on the total microbial counts (CFU/g) of milk . It was found that as the microwave power increases the total microbial counts decreases from 3.6x1010 to 2.4x104 CFU/g. Insignificant differences were found between 385 and 470 W for the pure microwave treatments. The decimal reduction time were 10.36 s, 7.87 and 7.49 s for the three power levels respectively. For the mixed alternating treatments the power level of 470 gives the least total bacterial count of 3.3x103 CFU/g compared to 3.5x103 for the power level of 385W at 2450 MHz. The decimal reduction times were 39.23 and 38.90 s for 385 and 470 W for the three times treatments respectively. Semi-logarithmic models were satisfied for the pure microwave and alternating mixed treatments with coefficient of determination of 0.98.
