Application of electrochemically activated water to improve biological safety in applied biotechnology

Currently, ensuring the quality and biological safety of public catering products is of particular relevance. Electrochemically activated water (ECA-water) and solutions can be used as a technological aid for processing food raw materials of animal origin and finished products. In laboratory and production tests by methods of organoleptic (appearance, consistency, color and sectional view, smell and taste), physicochemical (mass fraction of protein, fat, moisture), microbiological (KMAFAnM, BGKP, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella) analysis. Sample No. 1: a control sample prepared according to a traditional recipe using drinking water, GOST R 51232-98; sample No. 2: a prototype prepared using electrochemically activated drinking water (cathode) ORP, +34 mV (installation "Emerald"); Sample No. 3: a prototype prepared using drinking water (GOST R 51232-98) and electrochemically activated drinking water (cathode), ORP +34 mV (Emerald installation), in a ratio of 50/50. In the work, on the example of minced meat semi-finished products, it is shown to ensure their biological safety and prolongation of the shelf life. It is determined that the shelf life of samples prepared using electrochemically activated drinking water can reach 18 days, compared with traditional technology (15 days), taking into account the reserve coefficient - 1.3 according to the regulatory document MUC 4.2.1847-04. The development of scientific research aimed at minimizing biological risks and preventing biological threats is important when implementing the provisions of Federal Law No. 492-FZ of December 30, 2020 "On Biological Safety in the Russian Federation".
