The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of three nonthermal light technologies (NUV-Vis, continuous UV, and HILP) on their ability to inactivate  Escherichia coli  K12 and  Listeria innocua.     E. coli  K12 was selected as a representative microorganism for the enterohaemorrhagic foodborne pathogen  E. coli  O157:H7 and  L. innocua  as a surrogate microorganism for the common foodborne pathogen  Listeria monocytogenes , respectively. The liquid matrix used for the disinfection experiments was a liquid matrix (MRD solution). The results of the present study show that the HILP treatment inactivated both  E. coli  and  L. innocua  more rapidly and effectively than either continuous UV-C or NUV-vis treatment. With HILP at 2.5 cm from the lamp,  E. coli  and  L. innocua  populations were reduced by 3.07 and 3.77 log 10  CFU/mL, respectively, after a 5 sec treatment time, and were shown to be below the limit of detection (<0.22 log 10  CFU/mL) following 30 sec exposure to HILP (106.2 J/cm 2 ). These studies demonstrate the bactericidal efficacy of alternative nonthermal light technologies and their potential as decontamination strategies in the food industry.
