Ozone gas used to decontaminate produce. Ozonated water to decontaminate produce. No chemical additives and no Maximum Residue Limit. Increased shelf life.
About
Ozone Technology - Produce Decontamination 1, Gaseous Ozone for decontamination of berries and fruit to preserve shelf life. 2. Ozonated water as a produce wash - Dissolved ozone to be used as an alternative to chemical produce wash, to ensure microbial loading is reduced to a satisfactory level. Increase shelf life of product by removing spoilage organisms. 3. Irrigation water - Ozone injection into irrigation water to provide a biocidal charge prior to spraying crops, to improve the cleanliness of the irrigation water and in turn promoting a cleaner crop.
Key Benefits
Reduced product spoilage from pathogens/bacteria. Increased shelf life. No maximum residue limit or legislation in place for its use in produce wash. Superior microbial kill. Generated in-situ- no storage/transportation or consumable costs required.
Applications
Food Manufacturing: Fresh fruit and vegetable produce suppliers. Ozone technology removes bacteria reducing product spoilage and increasing shelf life. No MRLs - No chemical residue regulation applicable. Agricultural: Treatment of Irrigation Water. Ozone gas injection into irrigation water to reduce BOD and COD, providing cleaner irrigation water and in turn a cleaner crop.
