In this month’s research highlight, we share a recent study that reviews the potential for EOW (eWater) has an effective solution to improve post-harvest de-contamination in the Apple Industry.

eWater Cleaner and Sanitiser has been certified by Australian Certified Organics (ACO). This certification sets eWater further apart from conventional synthetic hygiene chemicals typically used in kitchens and by food processors around the country. Proven to be an effective alternative and safer alternative, why would you choose anything else?

Published by Dr Harriet Whiley, Senior Lecturer in Environmental Health at Flinders University, this paper provides business and regulators with a detailed review of eWater and its efficacy. If environmental health, food safety and efficacy validation is important to you, this report is not to be missed.

In a recent study by a team from the University of Tasmania, electrolysed oxidising water (eWater Sanitiser) and CO2 were evaluated as innovative post-harvest treatments to prolong shelf-life of fresh herb leaves. The results of the study demonstrated the potential of the solution as a sanitiser for fresh herbs and extend shelf life.

Biofilm formation of foodborne pathogens on food processing surfaces is a major concern for the food industry. Controlling pathogen biofilm formation is hindered by their complex structures which limits the diffusion of sanitizers into the deepest layers of biofilms. In this study, the research team found that AEW had the ability to disrupt these structures and effectively eradicate foodborne biofilms.

A recent study published by Oxford Academic in their Food Quality Journal reinforced both the benefits and efficacy of Electrolysed Water for sanitising fresh produce, demonstrating it to be a highly effective solution against Salmonella. Read the abstract here.
