Appl. Sci. 2022, 12, 6639 8 of 15 coriander washed with ozonized water for 5 min, followed by washing with electrically oxidized water (pH—2.45; electrical conductivity—1130 mV; available Cl—15.2 mg/L) for 5 min, effectively reduced the initial count of microbes and slowed down the growth of microbes during storage [87]. Eggshells can be used as a medium for the spread of human pathogens because eggshells may contain E. coli O157: H7, Yersinia enterocolitis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella. Pathogenic bacteria in incubation plants are usually removed by using glu- taraldehyde gases, formaldehyde, atomized hydrogen peroxide, or aldehyde. Hence, disinfecting agents can pose a health risk to chickens and human beings [87,88]. Electri- cally oxidized water (pH—2.2; electrical conductivity—1150 mV; available Cl—8.0 mg/L) while using an electrostatically intensified spray system can thoroughly remove Salmonella, Staphylococcus, and Listeria monocytogenes. A study was conducted under conditions where a 15 s wash time with an electrically oxidized spray to sterilize the animal’s stomach inducted with fecal material containing Listeria, Salmonella, and Campylobacter [89]. Re- cent studies showed that sprinkling with electrically oxidized water (pH—2.4, electrical conductivity—1160 mV, available Cl—50 mg/L) for 15 s could limit the proliferation of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, and E. coli. The population capacity was 1.23, 1.67, and 1.81 log on the stainless-steel surface, and it was deduced that a longer contact time could increase the disinfection effect [66,90]. It was reported that in order to sterilize bovine hides before slaughter, electrically oxidized water constituting 70.0 mg/L of available Cl was sprayed sequentially at a temperature of 60 ◦C. Sprays can reduce the amount of anaerobic bacteria by 3.5 logs CFU/100 cm2 and the number of Enterobacter by 4.3 log CFU/100 cm2. Recently, soaked or sprayed Listeria monocytogenes and hams with electrically oxidized water (pH—2.3; electrical conductivity—1150 mV; available Cl—45 mg/L) and/or ER water. At a storage temperature of 4 ◦C for 7 days, no significant difference was found between the hunter sausages, Frankfurt sausages, and hams. Elec- trolyzed water has been used in the medical field for over a century. Before antibiotics were available, electrolyzed water was used to irrigate and disinfect wounds in World War I. The main challenge of using this disinfectant has been keeping it in a stable form for use as a disinfectant. Statistical results have shown that electrically oxidized water has no harmful “whitening” effect on the superficial layer of the instantly tested meat [91,92].
