“…In addition, samples were subjected to a 17-h sterilisation treatment using ethylene oxide gas (EOG) to ascertain the effects of fermentation. EOG is widely used to sterilise medical devices and precision machinery, and kill microorganisms [10]. Moreover, to ascertain the influence of fat and oil, samples was defatted by Soxhlet extraction over a period of 6 h using diethyl ether as solvent.…”

“…After ETO sterilization, ETO is usually removed by ventilation with freon or CO,. It could be demonstrated that ETO desorption from sterilized equipment follows an exponential function (31); Gillespie et al (32) concluded that deaeration at room temperature for 4 days reduced residual ETO levels in long narrow tubes to "safe" levels of 200 ppm. More prolonged storage time to allow for exhaustive deaeration may be desirable.…”
