Good day,

I was wondering if anybody has experience in using ozone to sanitize strawberries into a high care processing area. Can you perhaps tell me what levels of Ozone and time of application would be suffficient to sanitize the berries?

For us this step would be a CCP and i cannot find much literature on this.

Thanks!

Hi Tersia

Some general information here

I would be worried about discolouration.

Kind regards,

Tony
