Chlorine is widely used as a sanitizer to maintain microbial quality and safety of fresh-cut products; the fresh-cut industry needs more effective sanitizers that can reduce microbial contamination and improve storage quality. The effect of sanitizers on storage quality and microbial growth of fresh-cut carrot shreds was studied. Shredded carrot samples were washed in tap water, 100 μLL-¹ chlorinated water, 30 μLL-¹ acidified sodium chlorite (ASC), or 30 μLL-¹ peroxyacetic acid-based sanitizer (PA).
