Gents,
Currernt beef tripe (reticulum and rumen) requires washing with NaOH and either bleach or peroxide.
Our problem is that resulting pH of washed tripe is too high and product releases a lot of water.
Could you help me understand what the resulting pHs are if I were to use peroxide (35%) instead of NaClO as an oxidizer.
What would be the resulting products of the equation with either of the two.
As you can see, this is a real world type of problem. I am a food scientist here at cargill and I find myself going back to basic inorganic chem to try to understand this issue.
Bottomline is I need cleaning power to get rid of attached organic matter and also need oxidizing power with no leftover aftertaste or noxious chemical residue.
Could you please orient me to how I might approach this?
Thanks so much,
Christian
