Announces Installation of OSF Ozone Air Purification Sanitation System forOzone Safe Food, Inc., a manufacturer of ozone air and water equipment announced that a fresh produce processor in Edinburg Texas has installed multiple OSF ozone air purification sanitation systems for their cold storage operations..
By: OZONE SAFE FOOD The Ozone Safe Food air systems, developed for the food, beverage, hospitality, education and medical industries, is an ozone-air technology that meets and exceeds the microbial reductions. The OSF air purification systems reduce and eliminates airborne pathogens or mold spores. Ozone has been found to be effective in extending the shelf life of food. Conservatively, ozone seems to extend the shelf life of our treated fruits and vegetables by at least 10 days. It can help enhance product quality and lengthen the shelf life so that fruits and vegetableslast longer in the retail or wholesale distribution chain. The uniqueness of the Ozone Safe Food, Inc. equipment is that ozone as an oxidizer, it is 51 times as powerful than chlorine, the oxidizer most commonly used by most food processors, and 3,000 times faster at killing bacteria and other microbes. Ozone is effective as a disinfectant at relatively low concentrations and does not leave toxic by-products similar to those related to chlorination. "We expect our client to see the benefit of at least 10 days of added shelf life for their produce," stated Ozone Safe Food, Inc. Engineer Otto Parson. Ultimately, Ozone Safe Food, Inc. believes that we have better technology to combat e-coli, salmonella, listeria and other bacteria or viruses than what most companies are currently using. Ozone is FDA and USDA approved. Compared to chlorine, ozone offers several advantages for food and beverage processors or anyone who wants to sanitize materials or surfaces. Chlorine has traditionally been the sanitizer of choice in the food processing industry, but experts share a growing concern about the dangerous byproducts such as trihalomethanes or dioxins produced when chlori ne reacts with organic matter in the water. These substances are known carcinogens and are regulated in drinking water by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. While chlorinated wash systems require transport and storage of potentially hazardous toxic chemicals, ozone is unique in that it is generated onsite from oxygen and can be produced on demand with no storage required. When the generator is turned off, there are no dangerous substances on the premises. While the oxidation reduction potential (ORP) of ozone is affected by the amount of organic matter or chemicals in the water, its ORP is not as sensitive to changes in pH as that of chlorine. The Ozone Safe Food, Inc. non-chemical sanitation equipment is designed for both cost savings and improved safety standards for food and beverage processors, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, and schools. The goal at Ozone Safe Food, Inc. is to eliminate chemicals and hot water during the sanitation process. A further goal is to help prevent contamination of food. With the Ozone Safe Food, Inc. non-chemical process, we can extend the shelf life of food products which means higher profits for processors and less waste for the consumer. Ozone is also safer for the workers since there are no chemicals to handle. Ozone is generated from Oxygen and is non-toxic. With the Ozone Safe Food, Inc. ozone equipment, a food and beverage processor does not have to stop processing to do plant sanitation. This increases plant production. Furthermore, processors can expect an ROI in under 12 months using the Ozone Safe Food, Inc. equipment. Ozone was approved by the FDA and USDA as food additive in 2001. How Ozone Destroys Pathogens Ozone eliminates or reduces pathogens by destroying the cell wall. Pathogens cannot develop resistance to ozone as they can to antibiotics, so there is no danger of developing superbugs through the use of ozone. Why Ozone Organisms Destroyed by Ozone Include: Bacteria, Cysts, Yeast, Virus, Protozoa, Algae, Fungal Pathogens Ozone is the strongest disinfectant available, and is more than 3,100 times faster than chlorine in killing bacteria. Ozone air treatment applications eliminates odors. Ozone disinfection produces no harmful by-products. In contrast, chlorine disinfection creates carcinogenic by-products. Ozone dissolved in water completely reverts to regular oxygen within 20 minutes, so there is no residue. For this reason, disinfection must always be accomplished with ozone water fresh from the tap. Ozone dissolved in water is completely safe and rinsing your hands in ozone water will sanitize better than using any chemicals or soap and water. Ozone is created instantly by the OSF disinfection system, so there are no more chemical sanitizers to buy. Ozone also works best in cold water, reducing energy costs for heating water. Ozone Safe Food is committed to eliminate chemicals and hot water during the sanitation process. A further goal is to help prevent contamination of food. With the OSF non-chemical process, the company can extend the shelf life of food products which means higher profits for processors and less waste for the consumer. Ozone is also safer for the workers since there are no chemicals to handle. About Ozone Safe Food, Inc.
