Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of aerosolized chemical sanitizers on inhibiting foodborne pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes. Five domestic commercial sanitizers subjected to five groups of sanitizer (chlorine-based, hydrogen peroxide-based, Iodophor-based, quaternary ammonium-based, and alcohol-based sanitizers) were aerosolized by an aerosol generator into a model cabinet and treated in laboratory media containing three pathogens for 1 h at room temperature. Aerosolized hydrogen peroxide-based and quaternary ammonium-based sanitizers were effective at inhibiting levels of E. coli O157:H7 (ca. 4-9 log reductions) whereas other aerosolized sanitizers such as chlorine-based, Iodophor-based, and alcohol-based sanitizers did not significantly reduced the levels of E. coli O157:H7. For S. typhimurium, the only aerosolized hydrogen peroxide-based sanitizer was effective and resulted in ca. 5-9 log reduction. Aerosolized hydrogen peroxide-based, Iodophor-based, and quaternary ammonium-based sanitizers significantly reduced levels of L. monocytogenes and especially, aerosolized quaternary ammonium-based sanitizer was strongly effective to kill L. monocytogenes, resulted in higher than 8.8 log reduction. And there was no special trend in inhibitory efficacy of sanitizers aerosolized by 1.6 or 2.4 MHz aerosol generators. From these results, aerosolization has great potential for use in commercial applications however it's efficacy could be very different depending on type of sanitizers.
