Food Processing
Ozone is a proven, powerful way to eliminate microorganisms, effectively and quickly killing viruses and bacteria including E.coli and Listeria. It can be used to control biological growth of unwanted organisms in products and equipment used in food processing industries. Ozone Solutions’ industry leading technology is particularly suited for the food industry due to its ability to disinfect microorganisms without adding chemical by-products to the food being treated, food processing water or atmosphere in which food is stored. Ozone reverts to oxygen leaving no harmful chemical residuals or altering the taste of treated food.
- Longer shelf life
- Water and energy efficiency
- Lower cost in waste water disposal
- Air-born microbiological and odour control
- Ethylene removal
- Approved by the FDA, USDA and supported by the National Organic Program
- Environmental friendly
- 3000 times more germicidal than chlorine
- No harmful chemical residual that requires a final rinse
- Instant pathogen destruction
- Higher levels of ozone can be used before altering the taste or appearance of the product
- Ozone improves taste and appearance over the use of chlorination alone and results in better quality
- Ozone lowers counts of spoilage microorganisms in wash water and on produce surface therefore it longer shelf life
- Ozone keeps wash water cleaner longer and less water usage
- An ozone treatment is capable of destroying pesticides and chemical residues in wash water
- Implementing ozone reduces the risk of cross-contamination of pathogens
- Ozone leaves no chemical residue
- Ozone is natural and chemical free allowing the use of ozone in organic food production and processing
- An ozone system mitigates the need for storage, handling, use and disposal of chemical sanitation agents
