Electrolyzed Water for Microbial Food Safety - Development of Low Concentration Electrolyzed Water as a Novel Sanitizer for Microbial Safety and Quality of Food

Currently, electrolyzed water (EW) is gaining popularity as a sanitizer in the food industry to reduce or eliminate bacterial populations on food products, food processing surfaces, and non-food contact surfaces. In Japan, the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry has approved EW as a food additive (Yoshida et al., 2004). EW generators also have been approved for use in the food industry by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Park et al., 2002b). The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of issues related to EW, its antimicrobial activity, and its probable application in the food safety.
