Food Process Sanitation Brochure

Food Process Sanitation with Chlorine Dioxide ? Broad spectrum antimicrobial activity ? 10 times more soluble in water than chlorine ? Resists neutralization by organics and hardness to a greater degree than most other compounds ? Less corrosive than hypochlorites, chlorines, bromines, iodine, etc. ? Rapid antimicrobial kills ? Slower bacterial recovery ? Disinfection effective over a wide pH range ? Effective at very low dosages ? Non-reactive with ammonia ? Excellent for removal of bioslime ? Can be fogged or sprayed ? Minimizes hazardous residues Maintaining a high quality sanitation program to prevent the ingestion of microorganism contaminated food is critical to all food operations. Food contamination can damage customer confidence, elevate financial risk due to product recalls, or even result in loss of life. Past experience has proven the need for more effective and powerful sanitation programs in food processing facilities (e.g. poultry, meat, fish, bottling plants, restaurants, dairies, and breweries). The emergence of highly virulent strains of pathogens requires new approaches to sanitization programs. International Dioxcide, Inc. has a variety of approved applications utilizing chlorine dioxide in food processing environments. Chlorine dioxide, with its broad spectrum antimicrobial activity, can deliver kills against a wide range of microorganisms over shorter periods of contact time. Chlorine dioxide, when properly applied, minimizes toxic residues as it doesn’t produce halogenated organic by-products. Chlorine dioxide minimizes corrosion to processing equipment, tanks, lines, etc., as it is true dissolved gas in water when compared to chlorine. Versatile Antimicrobial Activity Chlorine dioxide is a versatile antimicrobial that can be used in numerous applications as it is effective against viruses, fungi and algae 0%20%40%60%80%100%6 7 8 9 10Solution pHHOClHOBrClO2 over wide temperature and pH ranges. The use of chlorine dioxide reduces contact time by 3 to 10 times over chlorine while being effective over a broad pH range. Chlorine dioxide can be used at much lower doses than typical halogen antimicrobials with far superior microbial control. Its aggressive attack on bioslime ensures less fouling of piping and practically eliminates bacterial “seeding” of process waters.

Sanitizers are applied er a portable or a central system, lace (CIP) or clean out of place The terminal sanitizing rinses should be applied according to specific directions for use on the EPA-approved label. Indirect Food Contact (USDA G5) Chlorine dioxide can be used to treat re-circulating or once-through process water used for container or packaging, cooling, ice loops, retorts, rotary coolers, hydrostatic sterilizers and pasteurizers in the canning, frozen food, dairy, beverage, and brewing industries. Secondary Food Additive (USDA 3D Direct Food Contact) Chlorine dioxide can be used to treat waters that transport fruits, vegetables, poultry, etc. Chlorine dioxide is used as a sanitizing wash and is usually followed by a potable water rinse. This includes primary and secondary flume canals, product transfer loops, and finished product rinses prior to packaging or storage. Simple and Effective Process In all sanitation applications, the chlorine dioxide solution requires either activation or on-site generation. Selection of the actual process will vary based on demand and complexity. International Dioxcide, Inc., with over 50 years experience, offers a wide array of precursor chlorine dioxide chemicals and patented OYCHLOR® generation technologies that deliver a simple-to-use, low-cost and highly efficient process for your application. Health Effects In recent years, chlorine and chlorinated compounds have come under severe scrutiny because of health effects and environmental concerns. Chlorinated compounds form when chlorine reacts with organic material in water producing powerful carcinogens such as trihalomethanes, halocetic acid and dioxins. Chlorine dioxide does not react to produce these chlorinated by-products or other toxic compounds that are discharged to the environment, causing risk to human health and potential taint to foods. EPA and FDA Approval ANTHIUM® and ADOX® solutions are registered as terminal sanitizers (40CFR180.940; previously 21 CFR 178.1010) for use on hard surfaces in production areas as well as in any CIP or COP systems that require routine sanitation or disinfection. FDA regulations (21 CFR 173.300 “Chlorine Dioxide” and 173.325 “Acidified Sodium Chlorite”) describe the allowable uses to wash fruits and vegetables as well as in poultry, meat and seafood processing.
