ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cold pasteurization of food products sized and adapted for domestic use, is provided. The apparatus includes a housing, a source of ultraviolet radiation disposed within the housing and having germicidal wavelengths, and a rotatable basket for containing a food product and exposing the product to the source of ultraviolet radiation in order to inactivate pathogens on the food product. A mistifier is provided for directing an aqueous rinse into the basket and onto the food product in order to prevent degradation of organoleptic qualities of the product which may be caused by the ultraviolet treatment. The aqueous rinse may be tap water and the water directed onto the source of ultraviolet radiation in order to sterilize the tap water. An outlet is provided for dispensing the sterilized water for consumption.
