Bactericidal effects of diluted slightly acidic electrolyzed water in quantitative suspension and cabbage tests

Slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) is an effective disinfectant used to control food poisoning bacteria. In this study, we evaluated the sterilization effect of an SAEW stock solution and 5–90% SAEW solutions, and the potential for bacterial reactivation after disinfection. SAEW stock solution at ACC of 31.2 ± 0.22 mg/L, pH of 5.51 ± 0.01, ORP of 895 ± 6 mV for disinfection effect assessment was used. SAEW at a concentration of 40%...
