Effect of washing with hypochlorous acid water (acidic Denkaisui) on the decontamination of disposable gloves touched with foods

Abstract

Washing with the flowing acidic electrolyzed waters (hypochlorous acid water) was examined for the effect on the bacterial decontamination of disposable plastic and rubber globes touched with foods (radish sprout, soybean sprout, opened and dried horse mackerel, minced meat). It turned out that all of the contaminated general bacteria were remarkably eliminated, indicating better effect than the globe washing with tap water. Glove rubbing following spraying a small amount (3.3ml) of hypochlorous acid waters showed a certain decontaminating effect that is better than tap water, but lower than an alcoholic agent (WELPAS).
