Abstract
The effectiveness of electrolyzed oxidizing water, FreshFx, hot water, DL-lactic acid, and ozonated water was determined using a model carcass spray-washing cabinet. A total of 140 beef heads obtained from a commercial processing line were inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 on the cheek areas. Each head was exposed to a simulated preevisceration wash and then had antimicrobial wash treatments. Hot water, lactic acid, and FreshFx treatments reduced E. coli O157:H7 on inoculated beef heads by 1.72, 1.52, and 1.06 log CFU/cm2, respectively, relative to the simulated preevisceration wash. Electrolyzed oxidizing water and ozonated water reduced E. coli O157:H7 less than 0.50 log CFU/cm2. Hot water, lactic acid, and FreshFx could be used as decontamination washes for the reduction of E. coli O157:H7 on bovine head and cheek meat.Entities:
