Reduction of microbial populations and cross-contamination of Salmonella Typhimurium and the surrogate Enterococcus faecium on tomatoes during triple-wash using off-label concentrations of a combination of peroxyacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide

Reduction of microbial populations and cross-contamination of Salmonella Typhimurium and the surrogate Enterococcus faecium on tomatoes during triple-wash using off-label concentrations of a combination of peroxyacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide

This study aims to determine the minimal concentrations of a 23% hydrogen peroxide and 5.3% peroxyacetic acid (H2O2-PAA) mixture required to prevent microbial cross-contamination of Salmonella and the potential surrogate Enterococcus faecium on tomatoes. Nalidixic acid-resistant (NaL) S. Typhimurium...
