This is way out of my field of expertise, but I remember reading in
'Science News' in the last few months about some folks who were looking at
a very simple, organic treatment for post harvest fruits and vegetables
which effectively destroyed at least some of the pathogens of concern (I
don't recall which ones they were looking at). The treatment was a mixture
of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide.
I suspect that someone else out there has more complete information on the
study?
Kindest regards,
Laura
