Ozone generators dedicated to food storage and preservation gain favor
(Agricultural Wealth Network)     The "ozone generator dedicated to food storage and preservation" produced by an ozone equipment factory in Nanjing is used in food storage warehouses, and because it has good sterilization and disinfection, odor removal and food preservation effects, it is favored by many food enterprises.

    According to Engineer Wu Xiubao of the equipment factory, ozone is a strong oxidant with good sterilization and disinfection effects. The process of ozone sterilization belongs to biochemical oxidation reactions. Ozone can oxidize and decompose the enzymes necessary for glucose in microorganisms such as bacteria, and can also directly act on bacteria and viruses, destroying their cells and ribonucleic acid, decomposing macromolecular polymers such as DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids and polysaccharides, causing permeability aberrations in the substances within microorganisms such as bacteria, leading to cell dissolution and death, and dissolving, denaturing and killing the genetic genes, parasitic bacterial species, parasitic virus particles, bacteriophages, mycoplasmas and pyrogens (bacterial and viral metabolites, endotoxins) in the dead bacterial bodies. The ozone used in industry is mostly prepared by gas corona discharge type ozone generators.

    Ozone sterilization belongs to the category of bacteriolysis, with thorough and rapid sterilization, high efficiency and broad spectrum. It has obvious inactivation effects on almost all pathogenic bacteria, molds, fungi, protozoa and oocysts, and can destroy botulinum toxin. While disinfecting and sterilizing, ozone can spontaneously reduce to oxygen, with no harmful residue and no secondary pollution, making it an environmentally friendly fungicide; at the same time, it can also avoid the shortcomings of low energy efficiency of ultraviolet disinfection and heavy pollution of chemical fumigation.

    In addition to sterilization and disinfection functions, ozone also has the effect of removing peculiar smells in food workshops and extending the preservation period of fresh fruits and vegetables.

    Using the "series of ozone generators dedicated to food storage and preservation", food cold storage can be sterilized, disinfected and deodorized, and the food in them can be kept fresh. Because ozone is unstable, using it in cold storage is more beneficial for the storage and preservation of food in cold storage, because the final product of ozone decomposition is oxygen, which will not leave harmful residual substances in the stored food.

    By introducing ozone into water, ozone water can be produced. Ozone water can be used for effective cleaning and disinfection of cold storage floors, walls, shelves and storage boxes. The ozone air sterilization system can effectively inhibit the breeding of various microorganisms in storage warehouses and promptly kill various pathogenic bacteria spread in the air, thereby preventing food from becoming moldy and rotten.

    For cold storage where exposed food is placed, the operating time of the ozone generator can be appropriately extended to maintain a higher ozone concentration and achieve a good sterilization and preservation effect.

    Using the "series of ozone generators dedicated to food storage and preservation" in food cold storage mainly has three effects: first, killing microorganisms and disinfecting and sterilizing. second, oxidizing and decomposing organic and inorganic compounds that emit odors, and removing unpleasant odors in the warehouse. third, inhibiting the metabolic process of fresh fruits and vegetables and extending the preservation period of food.
