Use of Electrolyzed Water in Food Industry

Abstract

Food is one of the essential factors in sustaining human life. Food safety must be ensured to protect human health. Both thermal and non-thermal methods are available means of ensuring food safety. In the non-thermal methods disinfection applications using traditional chemical solutions have an important place. There are many chemicals having been used in the food industry as disinfectant from the past to the present. Since various negative factors associated with the type of the chemicals used such as deformation of the food structure, corrosion on food contact surfaces and the presence of chemical residues after disinfection, alternatives to traditional disinfectants have been investigated. In this context, the use of electrolyzed water as a disinfectant is getting common in many countries. A lot of research has been conducted on electrolyzed water in recent years since it is not only non-toxic, easy to use and cheap but also safe and environmentally friendly. This review contains information about electrolyzed water, types of electrolyzed water and their mechanism of action as well as areas of use and application in the food industry.

Gıda Endüstrisinde Elektrolize Su Kullanımı

Öz

Gıda, insan yaşamının sürdürülebilmesi için elzem unsurlardan biridir. İnsan sağlığının korunması için mutlaka gıda güvenliğinin sağlanması gerekir. Gıda güvenliğinin sağlanmasında ısıl olan ve olmayan birçok yöntem mevcuttur. Isıl olmayan yöntemler arasında geleneksel kimyasal çözeltiler kullanılarak yapılan dezenfeksiyon uygulamaları oldukça önemli bir yere sahiptir. Geçmişten günümüze kadar gıda endüstrisinde dezenfektan olarak kullanılan birçok kimyasal madde mevcuttur. Kullanılan kimyasal maddenin türüne göre gıdanın yapısının deformasyona uğraması, gıdaya temas eden yüzeylerde korozyon ve dezenfeksiyon sonrası kimyasal kalıntı varlığı gibi çeşitli olumsuz faktörler söz konusu olduğundan, geleneksel dezenfektanlara alternatifler araştırılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda elektrolize suyun dezenfektan olarak kullanımı birçok ülkede yaygınlaşmaktadır. Toksik olmaması, kullanım kolaylığı, ekonomik, güvenli ve çevre dostu olması nedeni ile elektrolize su üzerinde son yıllarda oldukça fazla çalışma yapılmaktadır. Bu derlemede elektrolize su, elektrolize su çeşitleri ve etki mekanizmaları, gıda endüstrisindeki kullanım alanları ve uygulamaları hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.
