Popis: Buckwheat kernels were susceptible to be contaminated by heat-resistant spores. This study aimed to investigate effects of radio frequency (RF) heating, ultraviolet (UV) light and their combination treatment on the inactivation of B. cereus spores and quality attributes of buckwheat kernels. Results showed that Weibull model well fitted the inactivation curves of B. cereus spores under RF heating or UV light, and both of the two techniques had a tailing phenomenon (n 1) in the decontamination process. But the inactivation levels of spores significantly increased by the combined treatments of RF and UV, regardless of the treatment sequence. Treatment by individual RF heating at 105 °C for 30 min or UV exposure at 5.00 mW/cm
