Electrolyzed water as a novel sanitizer in the food industry: Current trends and future perspectives
Microbe(s): Multiple
ABSTRACT - Full Text PDF
Electrolyzed water (EW) has gained immense popularity over the last few decades as a novel broad-spectrum sanitizer. EW can be produced using tap water with table salt as the singular chemical additive. The application of EW is a sustainable and green concept and has several advantages over traditional cleaning systems including cost effectiveness, ease of application, effective disinfection, on-the-spot production, and safety for human beings and the environment.

Inactivation of Staphylococcal enterotoxin-A with an electrolyzed anodic solution
Microbe(s): Staphylococcus, Staphylococcal enterotoxin-A
ABSTRACT - Full Text PDF
Electrolyzed anodic NaCl solutions [EW(+)], prepared by the electrolysis of 0.1% NaCl, have been shown to instantly inactivate most pathogens that cause food-borne disease. Elimination of food-borne pathogens does not necessarily guarantee food safety because enterotoxins produced by pathogens may remain active. We have tested whether EW(+) can inactivate Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), one of the major enterotoxins responsible for food poisoning.

Comparison of effects of acidic electrolyzed water and NaOCl on Tilletia indica teliospore germination
Microbe(s): Tilletia indica
ABSTRACT - Full Text PDF
Definitive identification of free teliospores of Tilletia indica, causal agent of Karnal bunt of wheat, requires polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnostic tests. Since direct PCR amplification from teliospores has not been reliable, teliospores first must be germinated in order to obtain adequate DNA. We have routinely surface-sterilized teliospores for 2 min with 0.4% (vol/vol) sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) to stimulate germination and produce axenic cultures.
