Chlorine Dioxide Gas Treatment Of Cantaloupe And Residue Analysis, Simran Kaur Jan 2013

Chlorine Dioxide Gas Treatment Of Cantaloupe And Residue Analysis, Simran Kaur

Open Access Theses

Chlorine dioxide is a selective oxidant and powerful antimicrobial agent. Previous work has shown that treatment of cantaloupe with chlorine dioxide gas at 5 mg/L for 10 minutes results in a 4.6 and 4.3 log reduction of E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes respectively. A significant reduction (p

Current analytical methods for chlorine dioxide and chloroxyanions are only applicable to aqueous samples. Some of these methods have been used to determine surface residues in treated products by analyzing rinse-water. In order to quantify residues in the tissues of a more complex food matrix, while reducing interference from natural organic matter, …
