Peracetic acid (PAA) is used for sanitizing food contact surfaces, sanitizing and disinfecting of animal premises, and as a food processing aid for antimicrobial intervention without imparting odors, colors, or flavors to the finished product. PAA is an ideal antimicrobial agent due to its high oxidizing potential, its effectiveness against a broad range of microorganisms, and its favorable environmental profile. Users can harness this oxidation power for clean-in-place (CIP), clean-out-of-place (COP), and environmental applications. Benefits include:
