I picked up 5 gallons of cider from a local orchard yesterday afternoon.
The cider is not pasteurized and no preservatives, but the lady there said they use an 'electric eye'?
She also said there's nothing wild in it and it would make a great hard cider.
I did a search but came up empty handed, any idea what the electric eye does?

Shining a purple light on things to decontaminate them is way too sci-fi for me. I tested UV lights like this in microbiology in college, but you basically have to keep the light on the same spot for several seconds. Anything moving, i.e. in air currents, will barely be affected.
