Recent Development in Food and Agricultural Uses of Ozone as an Antimicrobial Agent - Food Packaging Film Sterilizing Machine Using Ozone

摘要

Recent food putrefaction with new strains of microorganisms, such as Lactic acid bacteria and disinfectant-resistant strains of gram negative bacteria, mold, yeast have increased interest in exploring different disinfections for food sanitation. In Japan, food processing companies considers Lactic acid bacteria and gram negative bacteria, mold, yeast, to be of greatest concern because of the severity and number of food putrefaction they cause. We supplied a laboratory machine that sterilizes for food packaging film and preformed cup using ozonated water and ozone gas. We can use UV-ray sterilizing for support. In the food industry, we can use a laboratory machine that develops new product. Ozone should be useful in reducing the number of microbial contamination caused by inadequate disinfection against new resistant strains. There is growing tendency to use ozone in food industry as an effective means of disinfection without any additives. Many kinds of their application equipment have been developed, and establishment of their software is now desired. Based on properties of ozone as a strong germicidal agent, sterilization of food packaging film and inside of film converting factory towards ozone studied.
