Sử Dụng Nước Diệt Khuẩn HOCl Trong Giảm Dư Lượng Thuốc Trừ Sâu Trên Rau Quả

In the context of increasing concerns about food safety, the removal of pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables is becoming an urgent requirement. HOCl (hypochlorous acid) has been proven to be an effective, safe and environmentally friendly solution for food treatment.

HOCl not only has strong antibacterial properties but is also widely used in food washing to remove bacteria, mold and pesticide residues. Let’s explore the applications and working mechanism of HOCl in this article.

Mechanism of Action of HOCl in Pesticide Removal

HOCl has strong oxidizing ability, breaking chemical bonds in many pesticides such as organophosphates and carbamates. When HOCl disinfectant water comes into contact with the surface of fruits and vegetables, pesticides are broken down into non-toxic compounds or dissolved, making them easy to wash off with water.

Evidence Based Results From Scientific Research

Several studies have been conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of HOCl in removing pesticides from food.

Research of Kyoto University, Japan

  • Tiêu đề: “Effectiveness of Hypochlorous Acid Solution in Degrading Pesticide Residues on Vegetables” 
  • Results : HOCl can remove more than 90% of chlorpyrifos and diazinon pesticide residues on green vegetables and cucumbers after 10 minutes of soaking and washing. It does not affect the nutritional content of the food.

Research by University of California, USA (2020)

  • Tiêu đề: “Reduction of Pesticide Residues on Fresh Produce Using Aqueous Chlorine and Hypochlorous Acid”
  • Results : HOCl was more effective than clean water and conventional washing solutions in removing pyrethroid and organophosphate pesticides. The treated product was safe for consumption.

Research in Korea

  • Tiêu đề: “Evaluation of Hypochlorous Acid as a Safe Disinfectant for Fresh Produce”
  • Results : HOCl reduces pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes and apples by 85-95%. It does not produce toxic by-products like some other chemicals (e.g. chlorine gas).

Benefits of Using HOCl in Washing Fruits and Vegetables

  • Safe and Non-Toxic: HOCl does not affect the health of users, because it decomposes into water and chlorine gas (low concentration) after a short time.
  • Preserves Food Quality: HOCl does not change the color, taste or texture of fruits and vegetables.
  • Environmentally Friendly: The product does not create toxic chemical waste, in line with the clean agriculture trend in Vietnam.
