Postharvest Biology and Technology
Among the many technologies available to extend the shelf life of food products, ozone technology has proven to be a highly effective sterilization technique. This new volume presents the myriad uses of ozone in the food industry, exploring and providing in-depth knowledge and understanding of the use of gaseous ozone and ozonated water treatments against bacteria, virus, fungus, and stored-product insects for ensuring food safety and for food quality retention. The volume looks at recent applications of ozone in several areas within the food sector, including horticultural produce, cereals, meat products, dairy products, and seafood.
