Physicochemical properties of tested EO water prepared from
different NaCl concentrations and the antimicrobial effects of EO
water against the naturally occurring bacteria on fresh strawberries
are presented in Table 1 and 2, respectively. The EO water prepared
from the higher NaCl concentration (0.10%, w/v) was lower in pH,
comparable in ORP and DO, but significantly higher in free chlorine
concentration than that prepared from 0.05% (w/v) NaCl solution.
Kiura and others (2002) also reported that increasing salt concentrations in water used for electrolysis leads to a greater amount of
free chlorine in EO water.
