Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Most decontamination treatments increased germination, reduced microbial load and enhanced sprout growth.
- Intervention effect Ultrasonication reduced aerobic counts on pea sprouts by 5.86 log units.
- Intervention effect Ethanol, vinegar and NaCl treatments failed to reduce aerobic counts enough for microbial safety.
- Intervention effect Ultrasonication raised average pea germination from 83% to 97%.
- Intervention effect Ultrasonication reduced aerobic counts on sprouts to 2.21 log10 CFU per gram.
- Intervention effect Ultrasonication increased sprout yield to 301.83 g per 10 g seeds.
- Recommendation The authors recommend ultrasonication for microbial control in pea sprout production.
