Ultracol® Detox Pro – Industrial-Scale Produce Cleaner

Ultracol® Detox Pro is a concentrated fruit and vegetable washing aid developed for industrial washing applications. It helps remove dust, soil, waxy and oily contaminants from produce surfaces, while also supporting the removal of surface pesticide residues during washing.

Ultracol® Detox Pro is manufactured using raw materials of a quality suitable for food applications. Its non-ionic surfactant and auxiliary components promote effective wetting of fruit and vegetable surfaces, help transfer hydrophobic surface residues into the wash solution, and facilitate their removal during rinsing. It is suitable for high-volume applications in industrial kitchens, catering operations, mass food production facilities, and fruit and vegetable processing areas.

What Is Ultracol® Detox Pro Used For?

During production, harvesting, transportation, and storage, fruits and vegetables may come into contact with dust, soil, pollen, waxy or oily surface contaminants, as well as various surface residues resulting from agricultural applications. Washing with water alone may be less effective in removing certain residues, particularly those with hydrophobic characteristics.

Ultracol® Detox Pro supports mechanical washing and rinsing by promoting surface wetting and helping contaminants disperse into the wash water. The product has been specifically developed for high-volume fruit and vegetable washing applications.

• Removal of dust and soil residues from fruit and vegetable surfaces
• Assistance in removing waxy and oily surface contaminants
• Supporting the removal of surface pesticide residues through washing
• Standardization of high-volume fruit and vegetable washing processes
• Pre-cleaning applications in industrial washing and food preparation processes

How Detox Pro Works

Ultracol® Detox Pro is not simply a product that modifies the chemical properties of water. Detox Pro has been designed as a controlled washing system containing a non-ionic surfactant, a citrate/bicarbonate buffering system, and auxiliary components that support the removal of hydrophobic contaminants.

While the surfactant component promotes more effective wetting of fruit and vegetable surfaces by the wash solution, the other components of Detox Pro help transfer surface contaminants and certain hydrophobic residues into the washing medium. At the end of the process, thorough rinsing with potable water completes the removal of residues released from the surface during washing.

Applications

• Hotel and restaurant kitchens
• Catering and mass food production facilities
• Fruit and vegetable preparation areas
• Produce washing units in supermarkets and retail facilities
• Fruit and vegetable processing and packaging facilities
• Pre-processing washing lines for agricultural produce

Directions for Use

1. Fill the wash tank with the required amount of clean potable water.
2. Add 100 mL of Ultracol® Detox Pro for every 10 litres of water.
3. Mix until the washing solution is homogeneous.
4. Immerse the fruits or vegetables completely in the prepared washing solution, ensuring full surface contact.
5. Allow to remain in the washing solution for 5–15 minutes. Apply gentle mechanical agitation when necessary.
6. Remove the produce from the tank and rinse thoroughly with plenty of potable water.
