Abstract
The bactericidal activity of heated bio-shell calcium oxide (BiSCaO) powder suspension (pH 12.4) , hypochlorous acid (HClO; pH 6), sodium hypochlorite (NaClO; pH 8) , povidone-iodine (Isodine solution®) , and chlorhexidine gluconate (Hibiscrub®) under organic matter contaminated environments were compared for tests conducted on wood scraps and pig skin pieces that were incubated with normal bacterial flora (total viable counts and coliform bacteria) . The test results showed that BiSCaO suspension had higher bactericidal activity than HClO and NaClO. Furthermore, more than 10-fold higher concentrations of antiseptics such as povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate were required to achieve bactericidal activity comparable to that of BiSCaO suspension. Our results demonstrate the possibility of using BiSCaO suspension under organic matter contaminated environments as a disinfectant for environmental and food hygiene applications.
