Bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide on Salmonella typhimurium in liquid whole egg

PubMed ID: 3553129The effect of hydrogen peroxide on Salmonella typhimurium in whole egg was evaluated. The bactericidal effects observed on the test organism at 5° and 20°C were found to be similar. There was a 99% kill in the presence of 0°5% and 1°0% H2O2. Addition of the test organism and H2O2 after pre-heating the egg material at 40°C for 15 min caused a rapid kill which was 10000-fold greater than that produced by H2O2 alone.
