Peracetic acid for food processing is broad-spectrum biocide that helps countering bacteria, fungi, spores and viruses. It is increasingly being used because it leaves no residues, remains active during exposure to organic material, disinfects very quickly.

Peracetic acid (PAA) is widely used in the food industry due to its strong antimicrobial properties, making it an effective disinfectant and sanitizer. Its applications span across various stages of food production, processing, packaging, and storage. Below are some key applications in the food industry:

Sanitizing Food Processing Equipment

Peracetic acid is commonly used to sanitize food processing equipment, conveyor belts, and surfaces that come into contact with food. It effectively eliminates bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses, ensuring that food safety standards are met.

Water Treatment

PAA is used in water treatment applications within food production plants. It helps disinfect water used in food processing, washing fruits, vegetables, and seafood, as well as in food cooling processes. Its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity makes it effective against a wide range of pathogens, including E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria.

Food Surface Disinfection

Peracetic acid is used to disinfect food surfaces such as fruit and vegetable skins, meat products, and other perishable goods. This is particularly important for preventing cross-contamination and extending shelf life.

Packaging Material Sterilization

PAA is also used to sterilize packaging materials and containers, especially in the packaging of fresh-cut produce, dairy products, and ready-to-eat meals. The ability of peracetic acid to decompose into harmless substances (acetic acid and water) makes it an ideal option for packaging food products directly.

Preservation and Shelf Life Extension

Peracetic acid has antimicrobial effects that help extend the shelf life of food products, especially those prone to bacterial contamination, such as meats and seafood. It can inhibit the growth of spoilage microorganisms, ensuring food safety during storage and transport.

Drivers of Peracetic Acid in the Food Industry:

Increasing Consumer Demand for Food Safety: With rising concerns over foodborne illnesses and contamination, consumers demand higher food safety standards. This demand drives the adoption of more effective sanitizing solutions, including peracetic acid, to ensure that food products are safe for consumption.

Stricter Regulatory Standards: Governments and regulatory bodies have increasingly strict standards for hygiene and food safety, especially in the wake of global food safety scandals. Peracetic acid is a preferred choice for meeting these standards, as it is highly effective against a wide range of microorganisms while being safe for use in food applications.
