All experiments were conducted three times in duplicate. The inactivation performance for microorganisms was determined by counting the CFU, as described above, and presented as the mean log10 reduction and calculated using the following equation:

where N0 is the concentration (CFU/mL) washed from the test carrier without UV treatment (nonexposed control sample) and Nt is the concentration (CFU/mL) after UV irradiation. Statistical analysis was performed by using GraphPad Prism version 9.4, and a p value of <0.05 was considered significant.
