Ovicidal activities of supercritical CO2 and N2O on Ascaris suum eggs
E-mail:
This study examined whether supercritical CO2 and N2O fluids are effective in inactivating Ascaris suum eggs, which were chosen as a model for parasite eggs. The treatments were carried out in a multibatch apparatus, in which, the eggs could be placed atop a solid surface (non-immersed condition) or in aqueous solution (immersed condition). Various CO2 and N2O phases-including gas (6 MPa, 30 ℃), liquid (8 MPa, 30 ℃), subcritical (10 MPa, 30 ℃), and supercritical (10 MPa, 37 ℃).were tested with exposure times ranging from 1 to 20 min. Supercritical CO2 and N2O both showed a similar, strong ovicidal effect, requiring only 1 min in non-immersed conditions and 5 min in water-immersed conditions to achieve a 2.4-log inactivation. Subcritical CO2 and N2O showed a weaker ovicidal effect. The effect was significantly reduced for the gas and liquid phases, compared with the supercritical phases.
This study reports that supercritical CO2 and N2O can be effectively employed as a non-thermal treatment technique to control parasite egg contamination in fecal matter and food.
