Pesticide resistance and the increasing demand for organic grains pose challenges for food manufacturers and grain operators. This has created a necessity for alternative approaches to manage insects, pathogens, and pests in stored commodities. NBOT presents itself as a promising solution, capable of neutralizing pathogens and microorganisms, eradicating storage pests, and breaking down mycotoxins.
Fruits and vegetables are particularly vulnerable to spoilage-causing microorganisms. The fruit and vegetable industry can employ NBOT technology to eliminate pathogenic and spoilage microbes, as well as mycotoxins. Additionally, NBOT’s technology is effective in degrading pesticide and chemical residues. Utilizing NBOT as a disinfectant for food products significantly extends their shelf life.
Breweries often face challenges in keeping their equipment and pipelines clean, driven by the substantial energy and cost outlays associated with using hot water and cleaning chemicals. Moreover, the presence of chloride residues and by-products can have detrimental effects on the quality of the final product. The use of NBOT in the wine and beer production process offers a highly effective solution to tackle these obstacles. NBOT finds application in various areas, including barrel cleaning, equipment and surface sterilization, clean-in-place (CIP) procedures, tank maintenance, and transfer piping. It efficiently addresses these concerns and enhances the overall process.
Ozone, with its formidable oxidizing capabilities, can effectively eliminate numerous bacteriophages and a diverse array of viruses, rendering it a robust antimicrobial agent. In the food industry, NBOT proves valuable for sanitizing equipment in food processing plants, cleaning pipelines, and various other disinfection applications.
The solution is straightforward. Ozone, being the most powerful and rapid active oxidizing agent currently accessible for commercial purposes, can be employed in any scenario where other sanitizers have traditionally been utilized. The key advantage lies in its swifter and more cost-effective performance, rendering the entire process not only highly efficient but also environmentally responsible.
