Description

塩素系殺菌剤と微細気泡を組み合わせた殺菌剤、及び殺菌方法Disinfectant combining chlorine-based disinfectant and fine bubbles, and disinfecting method
　本発明は塩素系殺菌剤の殺菌効果を向上させた殺菌剤、および殺菌方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a bactericide having improved bactericidal effect of a chlorine-based bactericide and a bactericidal method.
　微生物には極めて多様な種類の細菌、カビ、ウイルスが含まれ、食品に混入することによって食中毒や腐敗を引き起こす原因となる多種多様な微生物が存在する。
　微生物による食品への危害を抑えるために様々な保存料や防腐剤が用いられており、これらは菌の増殖を抑制するために利用されるものの、その効果は微生物の種類や初期数によっても影響されるため、食品における微生物の殺菌・消毒は課題となる。
　一般的には、微生物の中でも細菌栄養細胞（増殖細胞）＜ウイルス＜カビ胞子＜細菌芽胞（休眠細胞）の順に殺菌や消毒に対する抵抗性が強くなる。このことは、細菌芽胞を殺菌可能な殺菌方法や殺菌剤であれば、細菌栄養細胞やカビ、ウイルスにも有効であること意味する。 Microbes include a wide variety of bacteria, molds, and viruses, and there are a wide variety of microorganisms that cause food poisoning and spoilage when mixed in food.
Various preservatives and preservatives are used to control food damage caused by microorganisms, and these are used to suppress the growth of bacteria, but the effect is also affected by the type and initial number of microorganisms. Therefore, sterilization / disinfection of microorganisms in foods is a problem.
In general, among microorganisms, resistance to sterilization and disinfection increases in the order of bacterial vegetative cells (proliferating cells) <virus <mold spores <bacterial spores (dormant cells). This means that any sterilization method or disinfectant capable of sterilizing bacterial spores is also effective against bacterial vegetative cells, molds and viruses.
　塩素系殺菌剤やオゾンが芽胞に対しても殺菌に有効な方法として知られているが、オゾンは人体への影響が強く、機器や容器に広く使用される金属、プラスチック、樹脂を腐食するため、普及には至っていない。
　一方、塩素は水に溶解すると次亜塩素酸となり、殺菌主成分は次亜塩素酸である。
　次亜塩素酸はオゾンに比較して人体への毒性もさほど強くなく、なおかつ微生物の不活化効果も高いことから食品工業分野では広く利用されている。
　塩素系殺菌剤による殺菌の場合、次亜塩素酸濃度によりその効果が強く影響を受けるため、高濃度に調整することで殺菌効果を高めることができるが、安全性の問題が危惧される。
　塩素系殺菌剤の殺菌効果を向上させる方法として、近年、微細気泡を利用することで、直接的または間接的に殺菌力を向上させる方法が報告されている。直接的に殺菌力を向上させる方法としては、塩素系殺菌剤に塩素ガスの微細気泡を混合させることで殺菌効果を向上させた方法がある（特許文献１）。間接的な方法には塩素系殺菌剤に空気の微細気泡を含有させることで卵の殻への浸透性を向上させて殺菌力を向上させた方法（特許文献２）、および予め炭酸ガスを溶解させた塩素系殺菌剤にマイクロバブル発生装置によって空気を主体とする微細気泡を生成することで、次亜塩素酸の自然消失を安定させ、殺菌力の保持時間を向上させた方法（特許文献３）がある。
　しかし、直接的な殺菌力向上では塩素濃度の上昇による安全性が問題である。間接的方法は、浸透性および保持時間を向上させた細菌の栄養細胞を対象とした方法であることから、殺菌に対して強い抵抗性を保持する細菌の芽胞に対する効果を生じえない場合があることが問題点として挙げられる。特に、製造工程上に加熱殺菌工程が含まれる加工食品では、細菌の芽胞に汚染されている原料を利用するほど、過度な条件にて製品の加熱殺菌を行う必要性が高くなる。加工食品の製品品質の上でも、過度な条件での細菌芽胞に対する殺菌方法は強く望まれており、上記直接的・間接的方法では細菌の芽胞を殺菌するには十分とは言い難い。 Although chlorine-based disinfectants and ozone are known as effective methods for sterilizing spores, ozone has a strong influence on the human body and corrodes metals, plastics and resins widely used in equipment and containers. It has not reached widespread use.
On the other hand, when chlorine dissolves in water, it becomes hypochlorous acid, and the main sterilizing agent is hypochlorous acid.
Hypochlorous acid is not very toxic to the human body compared to ozone, and is also widely used in the food industry since it has a high inactivation effect of microorganisms.
In the case of sterilization with a chlorine-based disinfectant, the effect is strongly influenced by the concentration of hypochlorous acid, so the sterilization effect can be enhanced by adjusting the concentration to a high concentration, but there is a concern about safety issues.
As a method for improving the bactericidal effect of a chlorine-based bactericidal agent, a method for improving the bactericidal power directly or indirectly by utilizing fine bubbles has been reported in recent years. As a method for directly improving the sterilizing power, there is a method in which the sterilizing effect is improved by mixing fine bubbles of chlorine gas with a chlorine-based sterilizing agent (Patent Document 1). As an indirect method, a method of improving the sterilizing power by improving the permeability to the egg shell by adding fine air bubbles to the chlorine-based disinfectant (Patent Document 2), and dissolving carbon dioxide in advance A method of stabilizing the spontaneous disappearance of hypochlorous acid and improving the retention time of sterilizing power by generating fine bubbles mainly composed of air with a microbubble generator in the chlorinated disinfectant (Patent Document 3) )
However, in order to improve sterilization power directly, safety due to an increase in chlorine concentration is a problem. The indirect method is directed to bacterial vegetative cells with improved permeability and retention time, and may not have an effect on bacterial spores that retain strong resistance to sterilization. This is a problem. In particular, in processed foods that include a heat sterilization step in the manufacturing process, the need to heat sterilize products under excessive conditions increases as raw materials contaminated with bacterial spores are used. In view of product quality of processed foods, a method for sterilizing bacterial spores under excessive conditions is strongly desired, and the direct and indirect methods are not sufficient to sterilize bacterial spores.

　上述した通り、微生物の殺菌において塩素系殺菌剤は有効な殺菌剤であることはよく知られた事実であるが、芽胞に対しても有効な殺菌力を高めるためには次亜塩素酸濃度を高めなければならない。しかし、安全性と利用性を考慮すると同濃度の次亜塩素酸で芽胞に対してもより高い殺菌効果を保持した殺菌剤が望まれる。
　本発明は、食品加工現場における殺菌や消毒に塩素系殺菌剤と炭酸ガスまたは窒素ガスの単一気体、あるいは窒素ガスと炭酸ガスの混合ガスの微細気泡を組み合わせることで細菌芽胞に対しても効果的な殺菌剤、及び殺菌方法を提供することを目的とする。 As mentioned above, it is a well-known fact that chlorinated germicides are effective germicides for sterilizing microorganisms, but hypochlorous acid concentration is increased in order to increase the effective germicidal power against spores. Must be raised. However, in view of safety and availability, a bactericidal agent that maintains a higher bactericidal effect on spores with the same concentration of hypochlorous acid is desired.
The present invention is effective for bacterial spores by combining a chlorinated disinfectant and a single gas of carbon dioxide or nitrogen gas, or a fine bubble of a mixed gas of nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide for sterilization and disinfection at food processing sites. An object is to provide an effective disinfectant and a disinfecting method.

　上述のように、塩素系殺菌剤による微生物の殺菌方法は、広く利用されている手法である。塩素系殺菌剤としては、固体状の次亜塩素酸ナトリウム（次亜塩素酸ソーダともいう）、次亜塩素酸ナトリウムの水溶液、あるいは次亜塩素酸を含む、電解水、微酸性電解水、弱酸性電解水、強酸性電解水等が利用されている。いずれも殺菌に至るまでの作用機序は、非解離型の次亜塩素酸が受動拡散により微生物の細胞内部に侵入し、種々の酵素群や核酸に酸化作用を及ぼすことで不可逆的な変化をもたらし、死滅を引き起こすとされている。このため、塩素系殺菌剤の殺菌力を高めるためには非解離型次亜塩素酸の存在比を高めるとともに、次亜塩素酸濃度そのものを高めることが有効である。
　非解離型の存在比はｐＨを酸性領域に調整することで高めることができ、電解水、微酸性電解水、弱酸性電解水、強酸性電解水がｐＨ調整型の塩素系殺菌剤として利用されているが、同濃度の塩素を含む場合はｐＨ６．５未満であれば殺菌効果に違いは生じない。
　一方、殺菌効果を高めるために高濃度型装置の開発も進められているが使用者への安全性や使用後の食品での残留性が問題となる。
　しかし、本発明者が鋭意研究を重ねた結果、塩素系殺菌剤、主に次亜塩素酸を含む水溶液と炭酸ガスまたは窒素ガスの単一ガス、あるいは、窒素ガスと炭酸ガスの混合ガスの微細気泡を組み合わせることで、塩素濃度を上げることなく細菌芽胞に対しても殺菌効果を向上させることができることを見出した。
　本発明は、本発明者によるかかる新たな知見に基づいて完成されたものである。 As described above, the method of sterilizing microorganisms using a chlorine-based disinfectant is a widely used technique. Chlorine disinfectants include solid sodium hypochlorite (also called sodium hypochlorite), aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution, or electrolyzed water, slightly acidic electrolyzed water, Acidic electrolyzed water, strongly acidic electrolyzed water, etc. are used. In any case, the mechanism of action up to sterilization is that irreversible changes occur when non-dissociated hypochlorous acid penetrates into the cells of microorganisms by passive diffusion and oxidizes various enzymes and nucleic acids. It is supposed to cause death. For this reason, in order to increase the sterilizing power of the chlorine-based disinfectant, it is effective to increase the abundance ratio of non-dissociative hypochlorous acid and to increase the hypochlorous acid concentration itself.
The non-dissociation type abundance ratio can be increased by adjusting the pH to the acidic range, and electrolyzed water, slightly acidic electrolyzed water, weakly acidic electrolyzed water, and strongly acidic electrolyzed water are used as pH-adjusted chlorinated disinfectants. However, in the case of containing the same concentration of chlorine, if the pH is less than 6.5, there is no difference in the bactericidal effect.
On the other hand, in order to enhance the sterilizing effect, development of a high-concentration type device is also in progress, but safety to the user and persistence in food after use become problems.
However, as a result of intensive studies by the inventor, a fine gas sterilizing agent, an aqueous solution mainly containing hypochlorous acid and a single gas of carbon dioxide or nitrogen gas, or a mixed gas of nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide is fine. It has been found that the bactericidal effect can be improved against bacterial spores without increasing the chlorine concentration by combining bubbles.
The present invention has been completed based on the new knowledge obtained by the present inventors.

　（実施例１）微細気泡化に用いるガス種の検討
（ａ）方法
　微細気泡を含有する次亜塩素酸水は以下の方法にて調整した。
　水道水中に微細気泡を、加圧溶解式微細気泡生成装置（IDEC株式会社製）を用いて１Ｌあたり７．５分間発生させた。微細気泡発生用の気体としては、炭酸ガス、窒素ガス、酸素及び空気をそれぞれ個々に用いた。十分な時間をかけた微細気泡発生処理により、水道水中の気体成分は微細気泡発生用の気体に十分に置換され、微細気体発生用の気体からなる微細気体が水道水に生成する。こうして得られた微細気泡含有水に、塩酸を添加した後に微酸性電解水生成装置を用いて電気分解し、次亜塩素酸を生成した。
　なお、本実施例において用いた加圧溶解式微細気泡生成装置（IDEC株式会社製）により得られる微細気泡は、図７に示す微細気泡の分布を得ることができる。図７は、IDEC株式会社製のカタログ情報から引用した微細気泡の粒子径サイズ分布を示す図である（http://jp.idec.com/ja/technology/finebubble/ultrafineGALF.html参照)。この加圧溶解式微細気泡生成装置により得られる微細気泡を含む水は、１ｍＬあたりの微細気泡密度が１０６個以上であり、なおかつ平均粒径が５０ｎｍ～２００ｎｍの範囲内となることがわかる。
　各微細気泡含有電解水の殺菌力は芽胞形成細菌の１種であるバチルスサブチリスの芽胞を用いて確認した。この際、バチルスサブチリス芽胞は寒天培地を用いて培養して得られた菌体を精製水に懸濁させ、遠心分離により回収した後、７０％エタノールに懸濁、遠心分離により回収した。精製水で再度懸濁、遠心分離による回収を行った後、１ｍＬ当たりの菌数が約１×１０８個となるように調整した。２５℃の各微細気泡含有電解水１００ｍＬに菌液０．１ｍＬを添加して混合後（初発菌数：約１×１０５個／ｍＬ）、添加５分経過後の生菌数を測定した。
　比較実験として、微細気泡を含有しない以外は上記と同様の方法で調製した電解水を用い、上記と同様にして５分経過後の生菌数を測定した。また、対照実験として、微細気泡含有電解水の代わりに、微細気泡生成前の水道水（微細気泡を含有しない水道水）、上記の方法により調製した微細気泡含有水道水（次亜塩素酸を含まない）を用いて同様の実験を行った。 (Example 1) Examination of gas species used for microbubble formation (a) Method Hypochlorous acid water containing microbubbles was prepared by the following method.
Fine bubbles were generated in tap water for 7.5 minutes per liter using a pressure dissolution type fine bubble generator (IDEC Corporation). Carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, oxygen and air were used individually as the gas for generating fine bubbles. The gas component in tap water is sufficiently substituted with the gas for generating fine bubbles by the fine bubble generating process taking a sufficient time, and the fine gas composed of the gas for generating fine gas is generated in the tap water. After adding hydrochloric acid to the water containing fine bubbles thus obtained, electrolysis was performed using a slightly acidic electrolyzed water generator to generate hypochlorous acid.
In addition, the fine bubble obtained by the pressure dissolution type | formula fine bubble production | generation apparatus (made by IDEC Corporation) used in the present Example can obtain distribution of the fine bubble shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the particle size distribution of fine bubbles quoted from catalog information manufactured by IDEC Corporation (see http://jp.idec.com/en/technology/finebubble/ultrafineGALF.html). It can be seen that the water containing fine bubbles obtained by this pressure dissolution type fine bubble generating apparatus has a fine bubble density of 10 6 or more per mL and an average particle diameter in the range of 50 nm to 200 nm.
The bactericidal power of each microbubble-containing electrolyzed water was confirmed by using spores of Bacillus subtilis, which is one kind of spore-forming bacteria. At this time, Bacillus subtilis spores were cultured in an agar medium, suspended in purified water, collected by centrifugation, suspended in 70% ethanol, and collected by centrifugation. After resuspending with purified water and collecting by centrifugation, the number of bacteria per mL was adjusted to about 1 × 10 8 . After adding and mixing 0.1 mL of bacterial solution to 100 mL of each microbubble-containing electrolyzed water at 25 ° C. (initial number of bacteria: about 1 × 10 5 cells / mL), the number of viable cells after 5 minutes from the addition was measured.
As a comparative experiment, the number of viable bacteria after 5 minutes was measured in the same manner as described above using electrolyzed water prepared by the same method as described above except that fine bubbles were not contained. In addition, as a control experiment, instead of electrolyzed water containing fine bubbles, tap water before the production of fine bubbles (tap water not containing fine bubbles), tap water containing fine bubbles prepared by the above method (including hypochlorous acid) The same experiment was conducted using

（ａ）方法
　微細気泡ガスを含有する電解水とバチルスサブチリス芽胞の調製と殺菌力の確認は実施例１と同様の方法を用いて行った。
　非微細気泡化ガスを含有する電解水は、水道水中に炭酸ガスまたは窒素ガスを通気した後、実施例１と同様に微酸性電解水を生成することにより得た。対照実験として、微細気泡含有電解水の代わりに微細気泡生成前の水道水（微細気泡を含有しない水道水：無処理）、上記の方法により調製した微細気泡含有水道水（次亜塩素酸を含まない：微細気泡のみ）を用いて同様の実験を行った。
（ｂ）結果
　得られた結果を図２及び図３に示す。
　窒素ガス、炭酸ガスともに微細気泡化することで各ガスを通気処理した際に比較して生菌数の減少が見られた。また、窒素ガスおよび炭酸ガスともに微細気泡のみでは生菌数の変化は認められなかった。以上より、窒素ガスと炭酸ガスを微細気泡は電解水と併用することで殺菌効果を向上させ、特に微細気泡化の工程が電解水の殺菌力を向上する際に必要であることが分かった。 (Example 2) Comparison of bactericidal power between microbubble gas and non-microbubble gas (a) Method Preparation of electrolyzed water and Bacillus subtilis spores containing microbubble gas and confirmation of bactericidal power are the same as in Example 1. The method was used.
The electrolyzed water containing the non-microbubble gas was obtained by producing slightly acidic electrolyzed water in the same manner as in Example 1 after aeration of carbon dioxide gas or nitrogen gas into tap water. As control experiments, tap water before generation of fine bubbles (tap water not containing fine bubbles: no treatment) instead of electrolyzed water containing fine bubbles, tap water containing fine bubbles prepared by the above method (including hypochlorous acid) No: only fine bubbles) were used for the same experiment.
(B) Results The results obtained are shown in FIGS.
Nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas were microbubbled to reduce the number of viable bacteria compared to when each gas was aerated. Moreover, no change in the number of viable bacteria was observed with only fine bubbles in both nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas. From the above, it was found that the fine bubbles of nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas are used together with the electrolyzed water to improve the sterilizing effect, and in particular, the step of making microbubbles is necessary for improving the sterilizing power of the electrolyzed water.
（実施例３）微細気泡と電解水の組み合わせ順序の検討
（ａ）方法
　微細気泡ガスを含有する電解水（微細気泡化→電解水）とバチルスサブチリス芽胞の調製と殺菌力の確認は実施例１と同様の方法を用いて行った。
　更に、本実施例として、微細気泡含有水道水の代わりに、水道水を用いた以外は実施例１と同様の方法で電解水を調製し、この電解水中に実施例1と同様の方法により微細気泡を生成して、微細気泡含有塩素系殺菌剤（電解水→微細気泡化）を得た。
（ｂ）結果
　窒素ガスを用いて得られた結果を図４に、炭酸ガスを用いて得られた結果を図５に示す。
　電解水化の後、窒素ガスまたは炭酸ガスの微細気泡を含有させた場合でも、微細気泡を含まない電解水よりも生菌数の減少が見られた（図４、図５：電解水→微細気泡化）。
　一方、炭酸ガス、窒素ガスの微細気泡の両方の場合において、電解水化前に微細気泡を含有させることで最も生菌数が減少した（図４、図５：微細気泡化→電解水）。
　以上の結果より、電解水化前に微細気泡化を行うことが最も強い殺菌力を保持させることができるが、電解水化後に微細気泡を含有させた場合でも殺菌力は向上することが示された。
（実施例４）
（ａ）方法
　実施例１と同様の方法にて調製した窒素ガス微細気泡を含有した電解水（窒素ガス＋電解水）を利用して、好気性細菌の芽胞（セレウス菌芽胞、リケニフォルミス菌芽胞）および嫌気性細菌の芽胞（クロストリジウム菌芽胞）に対する殺菌試験を実施した。
　対照実験として、微細気泡含有電解水の代わりに微細気泡生成前の水道水（微細気泡を含有しない水道水：無処理）、上記の方法により調製した微細気泡含有水道水（次亜塩素酸を含まない：電解水）を用いて同様の実験を行った。
（ｂ）結果
　得られた結果を図６に示す。
　好気性細菌の芽胞（セレウス菌芽胞、リケニフォルミス菌芽胞）ともに微細気泡と電解水を併用することで、電解水のみでの処理に比べて生菌数の減少が認められた。特にリケニフォルミス菌芽胞に対しては電解水のみでは殆んど殺菌できないが、微細気泡を併用することで殺菌が可能となることが分かる。一方、嫌気性細菌の芽胞に対しては電解水のみで検出限界以下まで減少させることが可能であった。このことから、微細気泡と塩素系殺菌剤の併用は幅広く細菌の芽胞に対して効果を示すとともに、従来の塩素系殺菌剤のみでは殺菌が困難な細菌の芽胞に対しても効果を示すことが明らかとなった。 (Example 3) Examination of combination order of microbubbles and electrolyzed water (a) Method Preparation of electrolyzed water containing microbubble gas (microbubble formation → electrolyzed water) and Bacillus subtilis spore and confirmation of bactericidal activity are examples The same method as in No. 1 was used.
Furthermore, as this example, electrolyzed water was prepared by the same method as in Example 1 except that tap water was used instead of the fine bubble-containing tap water, and this electrolyzed water was fined by the same method as in Example 1. Bubbles were generated to obtain a fine bubble-containing chlorine-based disinfectant (electrolyzed water → fine bubbles).
(B) Results FIG. 4 shows the results obtained using nitrogen gas, and FIG. 5 shows the results obtained using carbon dioxide gas.
Even when nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide fine bubbles were included after electrolyzing, the number of viable bacteria was reduced as compared with electrolyzed water not containing fine bubbles (FIGS. 4 and 5: electrolyzed water → fine). Aeration).
On the other hand, in the case of both fine bubbles of carbon dioxide gas and nitrogen gas, the viable cell count was most reduced by containing fine bubbles before electrolyzing (FIGS. 4 and 5: microbubble formation → electrolyzed water).
From the above results, it is shown that the microbiculation before electrolyzing can retain the strongest bactericidal power, but the bactericidal power is improved even when microbubbles are contained after electrolyzing. It was.
(Example 4)
(A) Method Using electrolyzed water (nitrogen gas + electrolyzed water) containing nitrogen gas fine bubbles prepared by the same method as in Example 1, aerobic bacterial spores (Cereus spores, Rikeniformis spores) And bactericidal tests against anaerobic bacterial spores (Clostridial spores).
As control experiments, tap water before generation of fine bubbles (tap water not containing fine bubbles: no treatment) instead of electrolyzed water containing fine bubbles, tap water containing fine bubbles prepared by the above method (including hypochlorous acid) No: Electrolytic water) was used for the same experiment.
(B) Results The results obtained are shown in FIG.
The use of microbubbles and electrolyzed water in combination with aerobic bacterial spores (Cereus spores, Rikeniformis spores) resulted in a reduction in the number of viable bacteria compared to treatment with electrolyzed water alone. In particular, it can be seen that Rikeniformis spores can hardly be sterilized only with electrolyzed water, but can be sterilized by using microbubbles in combination. On the other hand, it was possible to reduce the anaerobic bacterial spores to below the detection limit with electrolyzed water alone. Therefore, the combined use of microbubbles and chlorinated germicides is effective against a wide range of bacterial spores, and may also be effective against bacterial spores that are difficult to sterilize with conventional chlorinated germicides alone. It became clear.
（実施例５）
（ａ）方法
　実施例１と同様の方法にて調製した微細気泡ガスを含有する電解水を２５℃で、密閉容器内で、室内で７日間保存し、バチルスサブチリス芽胞の調製と殺菌力の確認は実施例１と同様の方法を用いて行った。
（ｂ）結果
　得られた結果を表１に示す。
　窒素ガスおよび炭酸ガスのそれぞれを微細気泡化させることで、微細気泡を含有しない電解水に比べて殺菌効果が持続することが分かる。 (Example 5)
(A) Method Electrolyzed water containing fine bubble gas prepared by the same method as in Example 1 is stored indoors in a sealed container at 25 ° C. for 7 days, and the Bacillus subtilis spores are prepared and sterilized. The confirmation was performed using the same method as in Example 1.
(B) Results Table 1 shows the results obtained.
It can be seen that the bactericidal effect is sustained by making each of the nitrogen gas and the carbon dioxide gas into fine bubbles as compared with electrolyzed water not containing fine bubbles.
