Food Processing
Thanks to its strong oxidizing properties, hydrogen peroxide is often used in some food products as a bleaching agent. These include egg white, edible oil, or wheat flour. Many manufacturers also use this solution as an antimicrobial agent in milk or sterilizing agent in food packaging materials. During the process of food processing, it is important to limit the amount of hydrogen peroxide used to prevent some health issues. You can spray fruits and veggies with a bit hydrogen peroxide at home to help them stay fresh longer in the refrigerator. Just keep in mind to rinse the foods thoroughly before cooking. [7]
