Abstract
The properties and bactericidal activities of strongly acidic electrolyzed water (SEW) against food-borne pathogenic bacteria, vegetables and kitchen apparatuses were investigated. The available chlorine concentration, pH and oxidation reduction potential (ORP) of SEW were $35{\pm}1.2\;ppm$, $2.3{\pm}0.2$, and $1,140{\pm}20.4\;mV$, respectively. Five strains of food-borne bacteria with initial cell number of 7.00 log CFU/mL were not detected except Bacillus cereus after treatment with SEW for 60 sec. The numbers of Bacillus cereus were reduced to 2.08{\pm}1.00 log CFU/mL at the same condition. In vegetables, SEW treatment after washing strongly in alkalic electrolyzed water (AEW) showed better bactericidal effects than SEW only. The viable cell on stainless steel bowl ($3.86{\pm}2.49\;\log\;CFU/100\;cm^2$) and cup for water ($2.40{\pm}1.80\;\log\;CFU/100\;cm^2$) were not detected by SEW treatment (35 ppm of available chlorine concentration) for 30 sec, but survival of more than 1.00 log CFU/$100\;cm^2$ of viable cell was shown by washing of sodium hypochlorite solution at the same condition. On the other hand, the coliform group bacteria ($5.08{\pm}4.00\;CFU/100\;cm^2$) were detected on rubber globe only, and more than 2.00 log CFU/$100\;cm^2$ of viable cell and coliform group bacteria on it survived, though it was washed with flowing SEW for 30 sec.
