Dynamic changes in the physicochemical properties of fresh-cut produce wash water as impacted by commodity type and processing conditions.

Organic materials in fresh-cut produce wash water deplete free chlorine that is required to prevent pathogen survival and cross-contamination. This research evaluated water quality parameters frequently used to describe organic load for their fitness to predict chlorine demand (CLD) and chemical oxy...
