Determining Bacterial Load and Water Quality Parameters of Chlorinated Tomato Flume Tanks in Florida Packinghouses

What is it about?

The water quality in flume systems is crucial to prevent pathogen cross-contamination during postharvest handling. This study showed that oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) is not a reliable indicator of free chlorine (FC) and that FC and ORP are not reliable indicators of microbial water quality.
