As a joint research project with Kagoshima University and Campus Create, we have compiled the findings from three research themes conducted since April 2022 into the "Joint Research Report" as part of the [SDGs Report-4]. [1: Sterilization Edition] Verification of the inhibitory effect on the proliferation of Escherichia coli suspended cells and biofilm formation. [2: Cleaning Edition] Verification of the cleaning effect of "hard-to-clean fats (from sweet potatoes and others)" that firmly adhere to the walls of fermentation tanks in brewing processes (food manufacturing factories). [3: Comparison Edition] Comparative verification of the antibacterial and cleaning effects of alcohol and chemical detergents in restaurant kitchens.

Zenon Corporation (Headquarters: Nakano, Tokyo / President: Akihiro Abe) has seen an increase in inquiries and supply requests regarding disinfection and cleaning from the rapidly growing food delivery industry since the announcement of its joint research with Nara Medical University in April this year, titled "Confirmation of Inactivation Effect (15 seconds) Against the Novel Coronavirus Using Alkaline Electrolyzed Water" (see below). To understand the background and circumstances behind this trend, we conducted interviews regarding the usage areas and improvement effects of "ZENON Special Alkaline Electrolyzed Water" in physical stores, in collaboration with Finest Corporation (Headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo / President: Motoaki Hori), which is actively engaged in hygiene management with a customer-first approach as a member of a major franchise chain. 【Report Overview】 Interview Period: Late June 2021 Interview Stores: Food delivery service (2 stores affiliated with a major franchise) Interview Area: Tokyo (West Tokyo) Report Method: Interviews with headquarters management and store staff 【Trigger for Introduction】 - Due to the demand for staying at home, the workload for store operation staff in cooking and serving has increased.

Cleaning agents containing alcohol or organic solvents may cause acrylic sheets to become cloudy or develop fine cracks on the surface. This phenomenon, known as "chemical cracking," is caused by the degradation of the acrylic sheet due to chemicals. To evaluate the irritancy of "ZENON Special Alkaline Electrolyzed Water" on acrylic sheets, we conducted a resistance test in collaboration with a third-party organization (a research institute of the largest comprehensive chemical manufacturer in Japan), and we are pleased to inform you that the results showed "no abnormalities." (Notice) In addition to the above "Resistance Evaluation/Test Report for Acrylic Sheets," we have published all verification data (PDF), including inactivation (death) effects against viruses and bacteria, skin irritation, and water quality components, on the following "Product & Verification Data Viewing/Download" site.
