Cavitation as a Means of Cleaning Bacteria from the Surface of Cantaloupes Team Members: Uma Balakumar, Taylor Kroeller, Jordan Plahn, Jacqueline Rizzi, Joe Sabanosh Advisors: Dr. Sunny Jung, Dr. Joe Eifert The goal of this project is to develop an efficient and environmentally friendly method for cleaning the rind of a cantaloupe with cavitation bubbles to dislodge and neutralize salmonella. Key Features: • Understand effectiveness of cavitation on bacteria – – • • Ability to dislodge bacteria Ability to kill bacteria Characterization of cantaloupe surface Ability to test both mechanical and biological parameters in a single test setup Deliverables: • Recommendation of optimal frequency range for effectively cleaning cantaloupe • CAD design of potential prototype
