“…Pangloli et al (2011) suggested that application of SAEW to wash and chill lettuce and tomatoes in food service kitchens could minimize cross-contamination and reduce the risk of E.coli O157:H7 present on the produce. The results obtained Issa-Zacharia et al (2011) and Hao et al (2011) showed that SAEW and NaClO solution had no significant sanitization difference and SAEW could be an alternative of AEW and NaClO solution. These results indicate that SAEW with a near neutral pH may be a potential sanitizer represent an alternative to chlorine dioxide and NaClO solution used in food industry.…”

“…The disinfection efficacy after the treatment of SAEW (5.8 log CFU/mL reduction) was significant higher (p < 0.05) than NaClO treatment (3.26 log CFU/mL reduction) and HCl treatment (2.73 log CFU/mL reduction). Several researches have reported that the disinfectant efficacy of SAEW was higher than that of NaClO solution at equivalent ACC (Cao et al, 2009;Issa-Zacharia, Kamitani, Miwa, Muhimbula, & Iwasaki, 2011;). Issa-Zacharia et al (2011) have reported that SAEW (ACC of 21.4 mg/L, pH 5.8) showed similar sanitization efficacy with NaClO (ACC of 105 mg/L, pH 9.7) on indigenous aerobic bacteria, Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp.…”

“…Slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) has been considered to be an effective and environmentally friendly disinfectant in the food industry (Koide et al, 2009;Quan et al, 2010;Abdulsudi et al, 2011). Spraying SAEW in poultry houses improves the indoor air quality by reducing airborne bacteria (Hao et al, 2013;Zheng et al, 2013).…”

Airborne Particulate Matter and Culturable Bacteria Reduction from Spraying Slightly Acidic Electrolyzed Water in an Experimental Aviary Laying-Hen Housing Chamber

et al. 2014

Compared to conventional cage laying-hen houses, aviary hen houses generally have much higher concentrations of airborne dust and bacteria due to generation of bioaerosols by the hensâ€™ access to and activities on the litter floor. Hence, reducing these airborne agents is important to safeguard the health of the animals and workers in such housing systems. Spraying slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) is a novel approach to reducing airborne culturable bacteria (CB) and particulate matter (PM) levels in hen houses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of reducing airborne CB and PM in an experimental aviary chamber by periodic spraying of SAEW (Trt), as compared to no spraying (Ctrl ns ) or spraying of tap water (Ctrl w ). The hens were provided 16 h light and 8 h dark (lights on at 6:00 h and off at 22:00 h) and were given access to the litter floor from 12:00 h to 22:00 h. The Trt regimen sprayed SAEW at 14:00 h for 15 min at a dosage of 80 mL m -2 ; the Ctrl ns regimen had no spraying; and the Ctrl w regimen sprayed tap water following the same procedure as with Trt. Concentrations of airborne CB and PM in six aerodynamic size ranges (0.65-1.1, 1.1-2.1, 2.1-3.3, 3.3-4.7, 4.7-7.1, and >7.1 Î¼m) were measured at 1.5 m above the floor in the center of the room during the periods of 13:45-14:00 h and 14:45-15:00 h. Compared to Ctrl ns , spraying SAEW significantly reduced airborne CB (>2.1Â Î¼m) by up to 49% Â±10% (p < 0.05), while Ctrl w did not show a reduction effect. No significant difference was found between Trt and Ctrl w in reducing airborne PM, although both reduced or tended to suppress PM >7.1 Î¼m in size. The results show that spraying SAEW can inactivate airborne CB attached to PM. Thus, this is a promising technique for alleviating the adverse health impacts of bioaerosols in aviary laying-hen housing systems.
