Psst… There is a better alternative for peracetic acid!

But what is peracetic acid?

Peracetic acid is a mix of acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. It is a clear and colorless liquid with a characteristic acidic smell. This substance is produced by letting acetic acid react with hydrogen peroxide.

Peracetic acid is an organically linked acetic acid, this is a colorless liquid with the recognizable smell of vinegar. This liquid is mixable with water, peracetic acid also dissolves well with ethanol, sulphuric acid and di-ethylether. It is therefore logical that with using peracetic acid people take the necessary safety measures. However there is an alternative which is just as effective without needing to take any safety measures in usage.

This is a substance which is commonly used in the food preparation and treatment industry as a disinfection and cleaning product. Because this substance is effective against Bacteria and Fungi, it has also been used as a substance to treat fruit and vegetables since the 50s.
