Efficacy of Chlorine and Acidified Sodium Chlorite on Microbial Population and Quality Changes of Spinach Leaves

Efficacy of Chlorine and Acidified Sodium Chlorite on Microbial Population and Quality Changes of Spinach Leaves

Efficacy of washing with distilled water, chlorine solution, and acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) solution on populations of microorganisms on spinach leaves was evaluated. Washing with chlorine (100mg/L) and ASC (sodium chlorite, 15mg/L; citric acid, 200mg/L) resulted in significant population reduc...

Zusammenfassung:Efficacy of washing with distilled water, chlorine solution, and acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) solution on populations of microorganisms on spinach leaves was evaluated. Washing with chlorine (100mg/L) and ASC (sodium chlorite, 15mg/L; citric acid, 200mg/L) resulted in significant population reduction (1.1-1.9 log CFU/g) of aerobic microflora, coliform, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 (p
