Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Catherine E Dandie"

  • - Catherine E Dandie's research primarily focuses on the efficacy of sanitization methods for fresh produce, particularly investigating neutral electrolyzed oxidizing water (EOW) as a safer alternative to traditional chlorine-based sanitizers for irrigation water disinfection and pathogen reduction.
  • - Her work demonstrates that EOW can significantly reduce pathogen contamination (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria) on fresh produce, with findings indicating that EOW may maintain leaf quality and extend post-harvest shelf life effectively.
  • - Additionally, Dandie's research encompasses microbial ecology, exploring denitrifier community dynamics and biodegradation processes in contaminated soils, examining how various organic materials influence microbial activity and the potential for hydrocarbon biodegradation in environmental contexts.
