Fruits and Vegetables
An alarming percentage of fresh produce perishes long before it reaches the consumer. Washing removes bacteria, including E.coli, from the surface of fruits and vegetables. Washing with typical chemicals after harvest leave a bad taste/ smell leading to consumer rejection. Alstasan Silvox solution can be sprayed upon, or washed with, to ensure farm-fresh appearance, preserve original taste and quality even after prolonged storage during marketing. Anti-ageing property of silver extends shelf life of fruits and vegetables.
ALSTASAN SILVOX (Silver Hydrogen Peroxide based Biodegradable Fruit Disinfectant) manifests to be an efficient disinfectant that aids in addressing the following areas of concern involved in the washing of fruits and vegetables. Silver has an anti-senescence property that increases their shelf life.
Conventional disinfectants fail to protect against re-exposure to pathogens, but silver H2O2 guarantees a long lasting protection from microbes all along the delivery chain.
Air Fumigation/ Aerial Fogging:
This potent biocide diluted at a given concentration and fumigated using a fogging machine sanitizes the area involved with the washing of fruits and vegetables. Some common airborne microbes that may contaminate the water are Bacillus sp., Varicella sp., Influenza virus, Variola virus, Rubeola virus, etc.
Areas of application:
- Washing area fumigation
- Washing trays fumigation
- Storage area fogging
- Packaging area fogging
- Clothing and shoes fumigation
Surface Sanitation:
A diluted concentration of Alstasan Silvox sprayed safely on surfaces, or circulated through pipelines or conveyers for an appropriate contact time. Surfaces are more inclined towards the growth of variety of microorganisms.
Areas of application:
- Conveyer belt sanitation
- Tools and equipment sanitation
- Clothing and shoes sanitation
- Tables, walls and floor disinfection
- Personal Protective Equipment Sanitation
- Washing trays sanitation
Water Disinfection:
A recommended amount of the disinfectant is added to the storage water for fruits and vegetables weashing, making it safe for use. Some common waterborne microbes include Entamoeba sp., Vibrio sp., Giardia sp. etc.
Areas of application:
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant sanitation
- Cooling Tower Disinfection
- Filtration water sanitation
