Article Synopsis
  • An innovative online multi-sensing platform was developed to evaluate key sterilization parameters in food packaging using gaseous hydrogen peroxide.
  • Microbiological tests were conducted with resistant spores to validate sterility, establishing effective conditions for high spore kill rates.
  • The platform enables real-time monitoring and correlation of critical factors (temperature, gas flow, humidity, exposure time), streamlining the sterilization process and reducing reliance on traditional microbiological tests.

A combined calorimetric gas- and spore-based biosensor array is presented in this work to monitor and evaluate the sterilization efficacy of gaseous hydrogen peroxide in aseptic filling machines. HO has been successfully measured under industrial conditions. Furthermore, the effect of HO on three different spore strains , namely Bacillus atrophaeus, Bacillus subtilis and Geobacillus stearothermophilus, has been investigated by means of SEM, AFM and impedimetric measurements.
