Sanitizing Chemicals used for Disinfectant

1. Sanitizing Chemicals used for Disinfectant Sanitizing Chemicals are used to reduce or kill the microorganisms to reduce the infections. Sanitizing may be accomplished by the use of chemical sanitizers. Physical methods include the use of either hot water or steam to kill bacteria. Chemical sanitizing differs in their effectiveness on certain microorganisms and in the concentration to kill the germs or bacteria. Common chemical sanitizers include chlorine compounds, acid compound, ammonium compounds Hydrogen peroxide etc. Sanitizer Solutions •Chlorine (Bleach) Most common used sanitizer is chlorine-based sanitizer. They are effective against almost all type of bacteria and viruses. •Quaternary Ammonia Quaternary Ammonium compound is in diluted forms of odorless, colorless and non-toxic. Advantage of this type of Ammonia solution is they form an antimicrobial layer and are stable at high temperature and also more effective than chlorine. Longer contact time is needed with this sanitizer, since it is slow-acting against some common spoilage bacteria. •Iodine Iodine compounds are fast acting and more effective against all type of bacteria. They are non- irritating to skin and also nontoxic. Iodophor solutions may stain porous surfaces and some plastics. Most effective Sanitizing Chemical 1. Hypochlorite’s It is the most common chemical used for sanitizing; it is most effective in killing all type of microorganisms. Hypochlorite when combined to any other compounds will be useful for many other processes. Sodium Hypochlorite that can be effectively used for water purification. 2. Chlorine Dioxide As it is dangerous and explosive in its gas format but it is most effective to use as sanitizing chemical in liquid form. It is most effective against virus, bacteria, fungi etc. as it reacts with proteins and fatty acids to break the organisms. It can work effectively in water too. 3. Iodophors Iodophors act both as sanitizer and disinfectant, it means it kills microorganisms over an extended period of time ensuring clean surface and sanitized for longer. Iodophors work by attaching themselves to sulfurs in proteins, which basically warrants them inactive.

2. 4. Peroxyacetic Acid It can work on colder temperature, especially when it is paired with stabilized hydrogen peroxide. Peroxyacetic Acid is also effective against biofilms but is less effective as water pH and depending on requirements. PAA based sanitizers are environmentally friendly and less corrosive. 5. Quaternary Ammonia It is most complex compound found in sanitizers. As sanitizers they are usually applied at concentrations of 200ppm and allowed to dry. Quaternary Ammonium compound is in diluted forms of odorless, colorless and non-toxic. Advantage of this type of Ammonia solution is they form an antimicrobial layer and are stable at high temperature and also more effective than chlorine. Longer contact time is needed with this sanitizer, since it is slow-acting against some common spoilage bacteria. How to Sanitize? There are 3 ways to sanitize. Before sanitizing clean the surface. •Buckets/Containers Use Buckets to store and it should not be used for any other purpose. It should be kept away from children and also should be in safe area. Keep wiping cloths stored in bucket with sanitizer solution when not being used. •Spray Bottles Should be labeled and never spray around any food items. •Wipes Use wipes with the appropriate concentration for use in food establishments and approved for use on food contact surfaces.
