Pathogen Reduction Technology

Pathogen Reduction Technology (PRT) refers to methods used to minimize or eliminate harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, from products like food, water, and medical supplies. This technology employs various processes, including heat treatment, chemical disinfection, and filtration, to ensure safety and extend shelf life. PRT is essential for protecting public health by reducing the risk of infections and contamination. By ensuring that products meet safety standards, PRT plays a critical role in food safety, healthcare, and overall hygiene practices.
