The combined effects of a sanitizer mixture, ultraviolet-C (UV-C), and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the quality of non-inoculated and inoculated (Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella typhimurium) buckwheat sprouts were examined. Buckwheat sprouts were treated with a sanitizer mixture (comprising 100 mg L-1 aqueous ClO2 and 0.3% fumaric acid) and 2 kJ m(-2) UV-C, packaged under two different conditions (air and CO2 gas) and storage for 8 d at 4 degrees C. The combination of the sanitizer mixture and UV-C treatment reduced the initial counts of preexisting microorganisms in the buckwheat sprouts by 1.9 log CFU g(-1) and reduced the initial inoculated counts of E. colt O157:H7 and S. typhimurium on buckwheat sprouts by 3.0 and 2.3 log CFU g(-1), respectively. The preexisting microorganisms and inoculated pathogens in buckwheat sprouts packaged under CO2 gas were significantly reduced during storage following the combined treatment compared to those of the control by above 95%. Differences in Hunter L*, a*, and b* values among the treatments were negligible. The combined sanitizer mixture and UV-C treatment increased the sprout rutin content by 147%, but there was no significant difference in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity between treatments during storage. Therefore, the combination of sanitizer mixture made from aqueous ClO2 and fumaric acid, UV-C irradiation, and MAP can improve the microbial safety and quality of buckwheat sprouts.
