Ultraviolet radiation has long proven itself as a technological process that allows you to reduce a significant amount or completely inhibit unwanted microorganisms, however, this technology is mainly used for disinfection of air and surfaces in industrial enterprises. The use of food processing with ultraviolet light is poorly developed, this is due to a number of limitations, one of which is the small depth of penetration of ultraviolet radiation. This circumstance introduces a number of restrictions and requires additional research for the active introduction of UV radiation in the food industry. The aim of the work: to study the dynamics of inhibition of native microflora of raw materials during UV treatment with various doses; to determine the degree of development of residual microflora during storage of UV-treated food products. Objects of research: model media containing native microflora of raw materials and fresh mushrooms. An improved UV treatment mode is proposed to reduce the surface injury of fresh mushrooms and ensure their microbiological stability of champignons during storage. The obtained results allowed us to establish the regularities of inhibition of native microflora on the surface of model media and fresh mushrooms depending on the distance to the UV radiation source, the time of irradiation, and the accumulated dose. It is noted that the dynamics of inhibition of native microflora on the surface of model media is not linear, and "Plateau" zones are marked. When developing a technology for processing fresh mushrooms, it is recommended to use a UV source with an accumulated radiation dose of 500 Dg/m2.
