Abstract

Electrolyzed activated water (EAW) has been reported to exhibit strong bactericidal effects on foodborne microorganisms. However, the disinfection efficacy of EAW is affected by factors such as water source and hardness. This study investigated bactericidal effects of EAW against three gram-positive (Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus) and three gram-negative (Cronobacter sakazakii, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella Enteritidis) foodborne pathogens. Six strains were treated with EAW prepared at different water temperatures (4, 22, and $40^{\circ}C$) for 15 min, and D-values were generated. The results show that the lowest D-values for Lis. monocytogenes by EAW produced at $4^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$ were 6.60 and 1.57 min, respectively. The lowest D-value for Sal. Enteritidis by EAW produced at $22^{\circ}C$ was 2.92 min. D-values of all strains treated by EAW produced at $40^{\circ}C$ decreased significantly compared to those treated by EAW produced at $4^{\circ}C$ (P<0.05). These results demonstrate that applying EAW produced at warm temperature is more effective for reducing foodborne pathogens for food safety.

본 연구에서는 다양한 온도의 물로 제조한 전해수를 이용하여 그람양성균과 그람음성균에 대한 살균력을 확인하였다. 전해수의 물성은 물의 온도가 높아질수록 pH와 유효 잔류염소 농도 값이 높아졌으나, 산화환원전위 값은 감소하였다. 4, 22, $40^{\circ}C$의 물을 이용하여 생성한 전해수에 Escherichia coli O157:H7을 15분 동안 처리하였을 때 각각 1.18, 4.47, 5.46 log CFU/mL 감소하였으며, Staphylococcus aureus는 각각 0.72, 4.90, 5.54 log CFU/mL 감소하였다. 이를 통해 전해수를 생성하는 물의 온도가 증가할수록 살균 효과가 높아지는 것을 알 수 있다. 4, $40^{\circ}C$의 물을 이용하여 생성한 전해수에 균주를 처리한 경우, Listeria monocytogenes의 D 값(일정한 온도에서 90 %의 미생물이 사멸하는 데 걸리는 시간)이 각각 6.60, 1.57분으로 나타나 가장 낮았으며, $22^{\circ}C$ 전해수에서는 Salmonella Enteritidis의 D 값이 2.92분으로 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 그람양성균과 그람음성균을 비교하였을 때 모든 온도에서 D 값에 대한 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다(P>0.05). 본 연구 결과는 전해수를 제조할 경우 높은 온도의 물을 이용하여 제조하는 것이 미생물 살균 효과가 높다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 전해수를 생성할 때 물의 온도를 고려하여 높은 살균력을 나타내는 전해수를 생성할 수 있으며, 이는 물의 온도 외에도 물의 경도나 물의 종류 등을 고려하여 최적의 살균 전해수를 제조함으로써 식품산업에 적용하기 위한 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
