of aerobic mesophilic bacteria in wash water, which is strictly related to FC concentration, was analysed during operations with all three vegetables regardless of the organic load in the wash water. In the majority of cases, bacteria survived when FC concentration was below 10 mg/L (=10 ppm) and especially when it was below 5 mg/L.
The increase in FC concentration led to a considerable drop of the frequency and population of bacteria detected. These results highlight the importance of maintai
