In the future, fruit-juice dispensers could be fitted with blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) to stave off the nasty salmonella bacteria that makes you sick.
A study has revealed promising results with LEDs showing an ability to kill strains of salmonella bacteria in unpasteurised orange juice.
Heading the team of scientists that did the study was Assistant Professor Yuk Hyun-Gyun and his former PhD student, Dr Vinayak Ghate, who graduated from the Food Science and Technology Programme at the National University of Singapore (NUS) last month.
