| Abstract | ||||
| Electrolyzed water (EW) is considered as a novel broad-spectrum and high-performance bactericide that has gained immense popularity over the last few years. EW offers several. advantages over other sanitizers for sanitation of food, contact and noncontact surfaces, such as safety,effective disinfection and easy operation, relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly. The present study investigates the properties of neutral electrolyzed water (NEW) using NaCl solution with three concentrations (1%, 12% and 25%) against the most common pathogenic three food borne microorganisms (E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella enteritidis and Staphylococcus aureus) individually, in which fresh chicken breast samples were subjected to artificial infection with those microorganisms (1010CFU/ml) then followed by immersion separately in Neutral Electrolyzed water (NEW) with the three concentrations (1%, 12% and 25%) for1,5 and ten minutes at room temperature. Reduction percentage was estimated for evaluating their antimicrobial ability. The results revealed high reduction percentage of the three food borne microorganisms for ten minutes at concentration of 25%, Also concentration 12% revealed high reduction percentage for E. coli O157:H7 and S. Enteritidis only at 1,5 and ten minutes. While the lowest reduction percentage that was estimated at concentration 1% for one minute against S. aureus by 72.344 ± 1.265.The present study demonstrated that (NEW) was very effective in reducing and/or eliminating the food-borne bacterial contamination | ||||
