Bacteria and other micro-organisms grow wherever there is organic material.
In meat and other foodstuffs they proliferate.
In cool storage, they still multiply rapidly and every day that food is stored, the bacteria count increases. The result is the deteriation of the food, a breakdown in tissue, weight loss of product, an increase of undersirable smells and taste and eventually, complete spoilage.
U.V. light at the germicial wavelength of 253.7nm as produced by Starkeys Ultra Violet Coolroom Germicidal Light has the remarkable ability to destroy all types of
micro-organisms (including bacteria, slime and mould) thus preserving the quality of foods in cold storage and greatly preserving the quality of foods in cold storage and greatly increasing their storage life.
