Abstract
In this study, we evaluated bacteriocidal effect of CaO (scallop shell powder) for the reduction of microorganism in lettuce, and compared with main chemical sanitizers such as chlorine, ethanol, hydrogen peroxide. As a result, the effectiveness of CaO showed dramatic reduction rate for total aerobic bacteria, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella Typhimurium and were $5.9{\times}10^3,\;1.3{\times}10^5,\;5.9{\times}10^3,\;2.7{\times}10^6,\;3.6{\times}10^3,\;4.5{\times}10^3\;and\;2.6{\times}10^4$, respectively. CaO did not show better disinfecting efficiency than chlorine or hydrogen peroxide which were used as sanitizer. In Bacillus cereus case, it showed $10^6$ reduction rate, and were $10^2{\sim}10^5$ times better reduction than ethanol sanitizer. According to these results, CaO can alternate the currently used chemical sanitizers due to its natural origin as well as the effectiveness for sterilization.
