Key words: inactivation, Escherichia coli, CO2, tetrafluoroethane, ethanol
The kinetics of E. coli bacteria inactivation is studied in compressed carbon dioxide
and tetrafluoroethane with and without ethanol addition. The possibility of decreasing
the number of survived cells by 7 orders of magnitude when up to 5% vol. of ethanol
is added to the main fluid is demonstrated.
