The effect of anolyte’s concentration on the L. monocytogenes count of meat cuts contaminated with L. monocytogenes.

Concentration of Anolyte Used for Spraying of Meat Cuts	Suspension of L. monocytogenes Used for Contamination of Meat Cuts, CFU/mL	Object of Investigation (Raw Meat)	L. monocytogenes. CFU/g Meat Cut
			Raw Meat	Meat after Contamination	Meat after Spraying with Anolyte	After 10 Days of Incubation at 0–4 °C	After 29 Days of Incubation at 0–4 °C
20%, beef	1500 CFU/mL	Control 1	<1.0 × 101	-	-	<1.0 × 101	<1.0 × 101
		Experimental meat	<1.0 × 101	(3.87 ± 0.15) × 103 a	<1.0 × 101 b	<1.0 × 101 b	<1.0 × 101 b
	15,000 CFU/mL	Control 1	<1.0 × 101	-	-	<1.0 × 101	<1.0 × 101
		Control 2	<1.0 × 101	(3.17 ± 0.35) × 103 a	-	(2.97 ± 0.42) × 103 a	(2.67 ± 0.49) × 103 b
