Can I decrease the number of pathogens on kitchen tools by treating them with electrolyzed water?
A. Yes. Tests conducted by faculty in the Department of Food Science and Technology at The University of Georgia proved that treating cutting boards with electrolyzed water which were inoculated with E. Coli O157:H7 reduced populations of both pathogens by a 5.0 log CFU/100cm. In the same study, Listeria monocitogenes biofilms on stainless steel surfaces were reduced by 9 log cycles when exposed to electrolyzed water for 300 seconds. This indicates that electrolyzed water can be effective in eliminating biofilms in vegetable spray systems and in ice machines.
