Abstract
A portal-based system for ultraviolet disinfection (UV) of containers and appliances, the system including a container with a housing having at least one portal for receiving UV light input for transmission into the container. The portal is designed such that a fiber optic transmission line is removably connectable to it. This system may include at least one portal optical component positioned between the portal and the interior of the appliance, thereby producing an enhanced sterilization of microorganisms within the container and/or appliance.
