In addition, there are 2 million Staphylococcus bacteria and tens of thousands of Escherichia coli bacteria per square centimeter, causing various diseases such as diarrhea and extra-intestinal infections.
Wooden cutting board: For example, traditional vegetable dumplings have strong water absorption, low hardness, poor wear resistance, fear of moisture, easy to crack, and easy to grow mold. Some places will be treated with tung oil or other oils, and they need to be oiled frequently for maintenance.
Bamboo cutting board: medium water absorption, high hardness, good wear resistance, easy to crack, easy to slip, not easy to grow mold, easy to maintain. It should also be noted that bamboo cutting boards are usually spliced with adhesives, and most of the adhesives are urea-formaldehyde resin adhesives produced with formaldehyde as the main raw material, so bamboo cutting boards may have traces of formaldehyde remaining.
Plastic cutting board (mainly PP material): non-absorbent, medium hardness, medium wear resistance, not easy to crack, not moldy, easy to maintain.
The antibacterial effect of plastic cutting boards is still relatively obvious. Compared with natural materials, it has antibacterial characteristics, and because of its high hardness, it is not easy to produce scratches and no gaps, so it is the least likely to breed bacteria; at the same time, it is It also has the characteristics of easy cleaning. It can be scalded with boiling water or washed with detergent, and it is not easy to remain after rinsing. Also, it is dishwasher safe
