Powerful No-Rinse Organic Sanitizer

Highland Fresh Technologies is excited to announce that we have added Jet-Oxide™, a powerful peracetic acid based sanitizer to our portfolio of value added products for your postharvest packing operations. Jet-Oxide™ offers produce packers a sanitizer option that can be applied directly to produce without the requirement of a potable water rinse after application. Thus, in applications where drying is crucial and extra rinse water may be problematic, Jet-Oxide™ is an ideal way to meet both sanitation and handling requirements. In addition, the USDA National Organic Program now allows the use of peracetic acid in produce washing, thus the addition of Jet-Oxide™ to our portfolio now allows Highland Fresh to offer a product that can fit into your organic process. Jet-Oxide™ is a registered material for use in organic agriculture as certified by the Washington State Department of Agriculture, a USDA accredited organic certification agency. The organic use patterns allowed include use in wash water and as a sanitizer on food contact surfaces.

Peracetic acid has been used in the food industry for many years, and is recognized as an effective alternative to chlorine bleach in applications in the produce industry. Key advantages include its effectiveness across a wide pH range, its effectiveness in hard water applications as both a sanitizer and de-scaler, and the lack of potentially harmful byproducts on produce, equipment, or in discharge solutions.

In pursuing our commitment to be a solutions leader in the produce industry, Highland Fresh Technologies, featuring its Selectrocide® aqueous chlorine dioxide and Jet-Oxide™ peracetic acid, is now uniquely positioned to offer the only two non-hypochlorite (chlorine) sanitizer options approved by the Florida Department of Agriculture in the new tomato packing rules that go into effect in July 2008.
