“Blown pack” spoilage is primarily caused by Clostridium estertheticum. The primary source of contamination is probably pelts, faeces and soil during opening cuts and de-hiding. Peroxyacetic acid (POAA) based fogs are commonly included in an abattoir's routine cleaning process. Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a powerful oxidizing agent that penetrates microbe cell walls causing cell death. In this study, we compared the ability of H₂O₂ and OXYSAN ZS (POAA containing 1-hydroxyethylidine-1,1-diphosphonic acid as a stabilizer) in different formats to inactivate C. estertheticum spores. Hydrogen peroxide treatment using Phytagel™ gel as carrier was effective on fleece against both naturally contaminating microflora and C. estertheticum spores. This is the first time an antimicrobial treatment has been shown to inactivate C. estertheticum spores on such a complex and highly contaminated matrix. Both H₂O₂ and OXYSAN ZS treatments inactivated C. estertheticum spores on stainless steel indicating their potential use as an in-plant decontamination procedure or inclusion in routine in-process cleaning.

“吹塑包装”变质主要是由科氏梭状芽胞杆菌引起的。污染的主要来源可能是割开和隐藏时的毛皮，粪便和土壤。屠宰场的常规清洁过程通常包括基于过氧乙酸（POAA）的雾气。过氧化氢（H ₂ O ₂）是一种强大的氧化剂，可穿透微生物细胞壁，导致细胞死亡。在这项研究中，我们比较了H ₂ O ₂和OXYSAN ZS（含有1-羟乙基-1,1-二膦酸作为稳定剂的POAA）以不同形式灭活C.estertheticum的能力。孢子。使用Phytagel™凝胶作为载体的过氧化氢处理对羊毛具有有效的抵抗天然污染的菌群和酯类梭菌孢子的能力。这是首次证明抗菌处理可以使这种复杂且高度污染的基质上的衣原体孢子孢子失活。H ₂ O ₂和OXYSAN ZS处理均可灭活不锈钢上的酯角衣藻孢子，这表明它们有可能用作厂内去污程序或用于常规过程中清洗。
