Supply Chain and shelf life benefits from ozone...
 
With the arrival of the new year, its time to take a fresh look at the challenges ahead for the seafood industry.Two of the biggest issues operators face are product cost and seafood perishability. If a technology were available today to help lower production/distribution costs and extend the shelf life of your product by 2-7 days, how would it benefit you and your customers?
 
A few additional questions to ask yourself:
  • Is costly air shipping a requirement to get your fresh product to market due to shelf life limitations? How much would you save in freight costs if you could ship by ground vs. air freight with equal if not improved product quality?
  • Is insufficient product shelf life limiting your ability to reach lucrative markets and customers?
  • Is the frozen market your primary market opportunity due to product shelf life limitations?
  • Is return of investment (ROI) a deciding factor for prioritizing new projects?
  • If your answer is YES to any of these questions you owe it to yourself to take a serious look at todays ozone technology. Ozone International can help you reshape your business, bringing a value beyond just food safety and sustainability. Want to gain the competitive edge in your market? Reduce your carbon footprint? An introductory call with one of our seafood advisors could lead to your best investment of the year!

The science of ozone... 
 
What is ozone? Simply put, it's just oxygen (O3) in a highly excited and reactive state. Ozone is created by passing oxygen through a high voltage field, thereby exciting the oxygen molecules and causing some of them to break apart into single (O1) atoms. These single (O1) atoms will then combine with other existing oxygen molecules  (O2) to create ozone (O3). 
 
When in the ozone state, this extra oxygen atom "sidekick" is highly unstable and refuses to stay bonded with the oxygen molecule. It will not stabilize until it can break away and form a stable molecule with something else. When merged with bacteria cells, it destroys the cell walls and kills the organism. If no other molecules are available, it will eventually reunite with another (O1) atom and restabilize as oxygen again.
 
One of natures most powerful oxidizers (second only to elemental flourine) ozone has been used as a powerful organic sanitizer for years. Dissolved into water, aqueous ozone can be used as a replacement for conventional chemical sanitizers. Combined with a high pressure cold water stream, you have a complete replacement for traditional cleaning and sanitizing methods.
 
Approved by the FDA for direct food contact in 2001, aqueous ozone can also be used to improve the quality and safety of meat products. Applied properly, ozone will very quickly reduce plate counts on the surface, effectivly slowing the spoilage process.  
 
Ozone Facts: 
  • Ozone is 51% more powerful on bacterial cell walls than chlorine.
  • Ozone kills bacteria 3100 times faster than chlorine.
  • Ozone produces no toxic by-products.
  • Ozone is fully approved by FDA/USDA for hard surface sanitation and direct food contact.
  • Ozone is environmentally friendly, its only by-product is oxygen.
  • Ozone is extremely effective as a disinfectant at low concentrations.
  • Ozone is generated on-site, eliminating  storage and transport of hazardous materials.
  • Generated on-site, ozone has an endless supply. No more monthly consumable chemical expense.
