Ozone in the Food Industry
Because ozone is a safe powerful disinfectant it can be used to control biological growth of unwanted organisms in products and equipment used in the food processing industries. Ozone is particularly suited to the food industry because of its ability to disinfect microorganisms without adding chemical by- products to the food being treated or to the food processing water or atmosphere in which food are stored.
