Fig. 2. Effect of neutral electrolyzed water produced by tap water (NEW), sodium chloride (NEW þ NaCl) or sodium bicarbonate solution (NEW þ NaHCO3), and the sodium chloride
and sodium bicarbonate un-electrolyzed solutions, against three Pseudomonas strains after 2 min of contact at 4 C. Values represent microbial population surviving after different
treatments (average values ± SD; N ¼ 3). Differences among average values related to the same strain subjected to different treatment were indicated by different letters when
found significantly different (P 0.05) after calculation of the Fisher's LSD value
