Due to Hypochlorous acid (HClO), as a new generation of highly efficient disinfectant, is gradually replacing traditional disinfection methods in the food processing field.
Its unique advantages make it an ideal choice for disinfection and preservation in canning factories:
1. Outstanding bactericidal performance: Hypochlorous acid can effectively kill various foodborne pathogenic bacteria including Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Listeria, etc.
Its bactericidal efficiency is 80 to 100 times that of sodium hypochlorite (bleaching agent).
2. Broad-spectrum and rapid: It can kill 99.99% of bacteria, viruses and fungi, including hard-to-handle spores, within 30 seconds.
3. Safety and environmental protection: The decomposition products are only water and trace amounts of sodium chloride,
with no toxic residues, meeting the FDA and EPA certification standards.
Remarkable preservation effect: It can effectively inhibit the oxidation of canned contents and extend the shelf life by 20-30%.
The disinfection application of hypochlorous acid generators in the pipe fitting process of canning factories
1，Hypochlorous acid in the raw material processing stage
1.1 Soaking and disinfecting vegetables and fruits: Soaking in a 50-100 PPM hypochlorous acid solution for 3-5 minutes can significantly reduce the initial colony count
1.2 Surface treatment of meat: Spray disinfection can reduce the microbial load on the surface and lower the intensity of subsequent thermal processing
2，Hypochlorous acid disinfects production equipment and the workshop environment
2.1 Continuous disinfection system for conveyor belts: It uses 20-30 PPM hypochlorous acid spray to achieve continuous disinfection during the production process
2.2 Empty can sterilization treatment: Spray disinfection is carried out on tinplate cans and
glass cans, replacing the traditional high-temperature steam method, saving 40% of energy
2.3 Workshop environment atomization disinfection: It can replace formaldehyde fumigation and
be quickly completed during production breaks without any downtime
3，Disinfection of personnel hygiene by hypochlorous acid
3.1 Hand disinfection station: 50ppm hypochlorous acid hand sanitizer replaces alcohol, does no harm to the skin and has continuous antibacterial properties
3.2 Work clothes disinfection: The circulating treatment system can extend the service life of work clothes and reduce cross-contamination
Innovative Application of Hypochlorous Acid in Canned Food Preservation
1. Preservation treatment of food in cans with hypochlorous acid
1.1 Inhibit enzymatic Browning of canned fruits
1.2 Slow down the oxidation of fat in canned meat
1.3 Reduce the softening of the texture of canned vegetables
2. The surface treatment of canned food after sealing with hypochlorous acid
2.1 Eliminate residual microorganisms on the surface of the tank
2.2 Form a temporary antibacterial protective layer
2.3 Reduce the risk of mold during storage
Firstly Hypochlorous acid generator technology provides a safe, efficient and economical disinfection and preservation solution for the canned food processing industry.
It not only significantly improves food safety levels but also brings considerable economic benefits,
making it an ideal choice for the upgrading and transformation of canned food factories.
