Haematoporphyrin- and sodium chlorophyllin-induced phototoxicity towards bacteria and yeasts – a new approach for safe foods

Temoporfin (Foscan®, 5,10,15,20‐Tetra(m‐hydroxyphenyl)chlorin)—A Second‐generation Photosensitizer†,‡

“…Potential for application in a nonclinical area exists in the nutrition industry, where sterilization of surfaces is an important subject. The usefulness of non m THPC PS was successfully demonstrated to kill microorganisms fixed on solid surfaces (465). Water sterilization is another potential application for PDT.…”

Photodynamic inactivation of Candida albicans sensitized by tri- and tetra-cationic porphyrin derivatives

“…This approach can be used to inactivate C. albicans cells growing in vivo as localized foci of infection, on skin or on accessible mucous membrane [28,29]. Also, photodynamic treatment has been proposed as a new possibility for protecting foods from microbial spoilage [30].…”

Bait Formulations of Chlorophyllin against Infected/Uninfected Lymnaea acuminata in Red and Sunlight

“…Chlorophyllin exposed to light induce necrosis and apoptosis in the intestine of insect larva Chaoborous crystallinus . Photodynamic application of chlorophyllin was found to have antimicrobial effects (Kreitner et al, 2001;Lopez-Carballov et al, 2008). The effectiveness of chlorophyllin depends on light attenuation in the water body (Kessel and Smith, 1989;DeRosa and Crutchley, 2002).…”
