hocl.com/research-industry-displayBlock, M.S.; Rowan, B.G.
A clinical review of HOCl as an inexpensive, non-toxic, and effective sanitizer against SARS-CoV-2 — covering production, stability, application methods, and oral-maxillofacial use.
Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Winter, M.; Boecker, D.; Posch, W.
A peer-reviewed exploration of HOCl-based nasal sprays, mouthwashes, and inhalation for bacterial and viral respiratory infections — RSV, influenza, and SARS-CoV-2.
Viruses (MDPI)
Al-Haq, M.I.; Sugiyama, J.; Isobe, S.
A comprehensive review of HOCl/electrolyzed water across the farm-to-table chain — seed disinfection, irrigation, post-harvest washing, food contact surface sanitation, and aerial fungicide spraying.
Food Science & Technology Research
Alshahrani et al.
Examines why bottled HOCl degrades — pH, temperature, UV exposure, organic load, and metal ions — and why on-site generation is the only way to guarantee fresh, potent disinfectant at the point of use.

Global regulatory validation: the WHO Expert Committee recommends adding HOCl to the Essential Medicines List for antisepsis, citing its superiority over povidone-iodine in safety, efficacy, and biofilm activity.
WHO 25th Expert Committee on Essential Medicines
Independent clinical microbiology lab testing showed "No growth" of four of the most dangerous hospital-acquired superbugs after just 3 minutes of Pure2Cure HOCl exposure.
Baruch Padeh Medical Center · Dr. Avi Peretz
Complete neutralization of both Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) and Human Coronavirus (HCoV-OC43) within 2 minutes of incubation with Pure2Cure HOCl.
Bar-Ilan University · Virology Lab
Massive log reductions of S. aureus and E. coli demonstrated across the full pH range 3.0–7.2, confirming the pH 5.0–6.5 sweet spot for both safety and potency.

Dukan, S.; Touati, D.
Foundational molecular paper showing HOCl kills E. coli via lethal DNA strand breaks, oxidative damage, and Fenton-type hydroxyl radical generation — the same mechanism human neutrophils exploit.
Journal of Bacteriology
Operational reference table summarizing peer-reviewed contact time data for HOCl against E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Listeria across clean and real-food matrices.

The FDA's comprehensive industry guidance on sanitation, antimicrobial wash water, and HACCP for fresh-cut fruit and vegetable processors — the regulatory framework HOCl was designed to satisfy.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
HOCl oxidizes and breaks down pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables more effectively than tap water or detergent washing — leaving zero chemical residue itself.
Briefing — multiple sources
The HOCl market is transitioning from niche chemistry to mainstream biocide — projected $6B (2024) → $9.5–$10.5B (2030–34), driven by demand for sustainable, non-toxic disinfection.
Industry analysis
