The Issue

In the agricultural sector, managing mold, bacteria, and other pathogens is critical across all types of cultivation, including ornamentals, cannabis, and food crops. Microbial spoilage can lead to significant profit loss and waste, especially within the food industry.

The presence of pathogenic bacteria or viruses not only poses health risks but can also result in crop loss due to failed microbial analyses. Additionally, diseases affecting ornamental plants can devastate aesthetics and commercial value.

        Validation of the use of chlorine dioxide in reducing microbial contamination on raw fruits and vegetables

        Sanitize and disinfect food-contact surfaces, keep food fresh longer, and eliminate foodborne pathogens. Use Selective Micro-validated pure chlorine dioxide in reducing microbial contamination on raw fruits and vegetables. Pure chlorine dioxide was tested at 5 ppm concentration and for a total 1-minute contact time. The experiment was to determine the antimicrobial properties of pure chlorine dioxide after drop-spotting inoculation over each surface of raw agricultural commodity (RAC).
