Abstract
This research aims to investigate citric acid (CA) 0.5% as alternative to sodium hypochlorite (SH) 200 ppm for washing and disinfecting spinach leaves (Spinacia oleracea L.). The initial disinfection achieved in leaves spot-inoculated with Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua, pathogen surrogates, was investigated along with the effects of time and temperature conditions before processing on the performance of CA and SH. Next, the effectiveness...
