General description

The acidified solution of sodium chlorite has been tested for the antimicrobial action on the broiler carcasses. It was found to be effective in the reduction of natural bioburden in a prechill procedure..

Application

Sodium chlorite may be used in the synthesis of chlorine dioxide and as a hydroxylating agent for the hydroxylation of androstenedione (steroid).
