Advanced oxidation process for the inactivation of Salmonella typhimurium on tomatoes by combination of gaseous ozone and aerosolized hydrogen peroxide

Fresh produce-associated outbreaks of foodborne illnesses continue to occur every year in the U.S., suggesting limitations of current practices and the need for effective intervention technologies. Advanced oxidation process involves production of hydrogen radicals, which are the strongest oxidant. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of advanced oxidation process by combining gaseous ozone and aerosolized...
