Greetings

In the company in which i am currently working we are looking for a system to wash and disinfect our products (Jalapeno Peppers, Poblano Peppers, Serrano Peppers, Anaheim Peppers and green tomatoes).

As an option we have evaluated the use of ozone dissolved in water, to wash and disinfect the vegetables.

Has somebody´s company a system of ozone for disinfection of fresh vegetables? Or has someone audited a facility with a system like this?

Can you give me some references? Advantages/Disadvantages?

Thanks in advance for your time
Best regards

P.D. Excuse my grammar and my poor english vocabulary, and i will be really thankful if anyone corrected any of the words or phrases used by me

Hola Raul8,

I have been working with ozone in several food related applications. The most successful has been maintaining sanitary conditions on produce sorting belts. A wash system for your items should be a very effective way to reduce microbial contamination as well as assist in keeping your equipment clean. I have been happy with the equipment and service I've gotten from Pacific Ozone. They are located in California, and the rep I deal with is Eric Bergin. You can find contact info at www.pacificozone.com. The project that I worked on is under food processing: ozone sanitation in a tomato processing plant.

Regards,

John

Seems to rely on wishful thinking -

Aquazone is a natural, "green" ozone system using no chemicals or electrolysis to sanitize your water supply.

Hmmm.
