Combat Germs, Increase Biosafety and Optimize Appearance with Evonik’s Food Processing Solutions
We all want food that is fresh, healthy, and safe. In a world where food safety and operational efficiency are non-negotiable, Evonik delivers advanced treatment solutions that help processors meet hygiene and microbial-control targets.
Evonik offers a broad portfolio of antimicrobial agents, oxidizers, and processing aids tailored for meat and poultry handling, produce washing, and fiber bleaching. Our trusted solutions enable processors to reduce contamination risks, improve shelf life, and operate within defined regulatory frameworks.
Our food processing portfolio is mainly based on peracetic acid chemistry, a powerful solution that includes hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. In addition, our hydrogen peroxide is an effective, proven oxidant for food fiber bleaching.
Why Choose Evonik for Food Processing?
Proven Performance: Trusted brands like PERACLEAN®, VIGOROX®, and SPECTRUM® are used globally in food safety and sanitation. They are highly effective over a wide temperature range and do not lead to microbial resistance.
Defined Decomposition Products: Peracetic acid decomposes after disinfection into water, oxygen and acetic acid. That means that, unlike other intervention chemistries, there are no additional cleanup steps required.
