In an alternative production process, chlorine dioxide is obtained by reacting together sodium chlorate, hydrogen peroxide, and sulfuric acid. Next, chlorine dioxide is absorbed in a solution of sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide to form a sodium chlorite solution. 50 to 150 ppm for whole poultry carcasses 6. Reactions and fate in foods 6.1 Potential residues of oxychlorine species When ASC is sprayed onto raw food, chlorous acid (HClO 2) is consumed by reacting with microorganisms and other organic matter found on the surface of the treated food.
Quantitative. Involving the determination of quantities. Thus a simple test would indicate that a current was passing through a wire. This would be a qualitative test. If by proper apparatus the exact intensity of the current was determined, it would be a quantitative determination. (See Qualitative.)
Sensitivity refers to a test's ability to designate an individual with disease as positive. A highly sensitive test means that there are few false negative results, and thus fewer cases of disease are missed. The specificity of a test is its ability to designate an individual who does not have a disease as negative. A highly specific test means that there are few false positive results.
