Electrolyzed functional water possesses a wide variety of antimicrobial activities. Electrolyzed functional
water, which used to take place of tap water in producing mung bean sprouts, was studied in this paper.
The results showed that electrolyzed water can not only reduce the quantity of microorganism on the
surface of mung bean sprouts, but also promote the growth of sprouts. Further research showed that
electrolyte leakage rate of mung bean soaked in electrolyzed water was the lowest, while the catalase’s
activity of mung bean soaked in electrolyzed water was the highest. All of these contribute to the high
activity of mung bean.
