The effect of organic loads on stability of various chlorine‐based sanitisers

Summary This study examined the effect of p H of chlorine‐based sanitisers on the reaction of free chlorine with compounds present in a variety of food environments. A model food system was first used to determine chlorine reactions with individual organic compounds. Different classes of organic compounds were added to chlorinated water at three different p H s (2.5, 6.0 and 9.3). Free and total chlorine concentrations were recorded in each...
