Little Ketchup

Grittyville, WA

I noticed h202 reacts with bleach to make salt water and oxygen... The bleach smell goes away instantly.

Who knew...!
Anyhow processing fermented tomato seeds and I did not realize that warm water will cause them to sprout . . . duh.
Also the seeds can sink or float differently if small oxygen bubbles from the reaction of bleach, hydrogen peroxide, and trisodium phosphate occur in the right way, or if no reaction occurs. This could make a difference in sorting them from the pulp.

Just thought maybe there is a heads up here in these observations that might be useful.
Im going to try cold water to be on the safe side in the future.
