Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different sanitization solutions on the physicochemical characteristics of strawberries, cucumbers, and rocket leaves. In each procedure, 200 g of the sample was immersed in 1 L of sanitizing solution for 5 minutes. Strawberries, cucumbers and rocket leaves were sanitized with acetic, and lactic acid (1% and 2%), hydrogen peroxide (3%), sodium hypochlorite and sodium dichloroisocyanurate (200 mg/L). Samples not submitted to sanitization were used as controls. The val… Show more
