Abstract: A sensor control system of a food processing system includes a logic processor operatively coupled to an electrode. The logic processor is configured to receive a sensor signal from the electrode, the electrode configured to collect the sensor signal from water used within the food processing system, process the sensor signal to determine a chemical measurement of the water, and generate an electrochemical cleaning control signal for the electrode to interact with the water to electrochemically clean the electrode based upon a user input signal.

Abstract: A method and system for managing water in a food preparation sink is provided. The system includes a sanitizer comprising a chemistry optimized for a food preparation sink water load, a delivery system configured to transport and deliver the sanitizer to the food preparation sink; and a verification element that is configured to be added to the water load in the food preparation sink and indicate when the water in the food preparation sink is not promoting growth or spread of bacteria.

Abstract: The invention provides antimicrobial compositions comprising one or more acid and one or more organic diol. In one embodiment, the invention's compositions have an acidic pH. The compositions may optionally further contain one or more oxidizing agent (including stabilized oxidizing agent and/or unstabilized oxidizing agent), and/or one or more surfactant. In particular embodiments, the acid lacks one or both of —NH group and —NH2 group. The invention's compositions are useful in all stages of handling agricultural products, in hospitals, and in commercial and household applications.
