Antimicrobial Effect of Acidified Sodium Chlorite (ASC) on Whole Croaker
نویسندگان
چکیده
The antimicrobial effect of acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) solution on whole croaker skin was evaluated. Whole croaker skin was treated with ASC (50, 100, 200, 400, and 600 ppm) and distilled water. After 10-minute exposure to 600 ppm ASC, 8% of Gram-negative bacteria survived on the whole croaker sample. Treatment with 50 ppm ASC eliminated all coliforms in the initial load. Immersion treatment with 600 ppm ASC resulted in 1.3 log CFU/cm greater kill of the initial mesophile loads of control (2.8 log CFU/cm) than distilled water. Fifty ppm ASC solution produced a 1.6-log reduction of psychrotrophic bacteria. ASC treatment was an effective method for reducing naturally occurring microflora on whole croaker skin.

Impact of Acidified Sodium Chlorite and Enzyme Treatment on the Microbial Load and Energy Bioavailability of Feedstuffs
The presence of microbial load and high fiber content in various non conventional feedstuffs limit their utilization in poultry feed. In the present study, the feedstuffs were treated with acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) and its impact on the microbial load and metabolizable energy availability was assessed in the chickens. The effect of supplementation of feed grade enzyme was also evaluated...

Fresh-cut cilantro is particularly susceptible to microbial growth and, therefore, use of an effective sanitizer on this product is of great importance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different sanitizing treatments on reducing Escherichia coli O157:H7 populations, aerobic mesophilic bacterial, yeast and mould counts on fresh-cut cilantro. Cut cilantro was treated w...

The use of suitable sanitizers can increase the quality of fresh-cut produce and reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. The objective of this study was to compare the washing effects of 100 mg/L sodium hypochlorite (SH) and 500 mg/L acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) on the prevention of enzymatic browning and the growth of microbial populations, including aerobic plate counts, E. coli, and colif...
متن کاملThe comparative effect of acidified sodium chlorite and chlorhexidine mouthrinses on plaque regrowth and salivary bacterial counts.
Acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) is recognised as a highly potent, broad spectrum antimicrobial system that has been successfully developed for uses in veterinary, food processing and medical device fields. The current studies aimed to investigate the persistence of antimicrobial action and plaque inhibitory properties of 3 ASC mouthrinses by comparison with positive control, chlorhexidine 0.12%...
متن کاملAcidified sodium chlorite as an alternative to chlorine for elimination of salmonella on alfalfa seeds.
The health and environmental hazard associated with the use of chlorine for food processing has been documented previously. This study was conducted to determine if acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) could be used to replace calcium hypochlorite (Ca[OCl](2)) for disinfection of alfalfa seeds. Contaminated seeds containing approximately 1.5 x 10(7) CFU/g of Salmonella were treated with ASC or Ca(OC...
