Preservation of fruits and vegetables with ozone

Ozone for the transport and storage of fruits and vegetables

The optimal preservation of fruits and vegetables is a significant challenge for professionals in the agri-food sector. Post-harvest losses, often caused by pathogens and exposure to ethylene, lead to premature ripening and deterioration of products. Utilizing gaseous ozone in containers and storage areas has emerged as an innovative solution to extend the freshness of produce.

Advantages of ozone for maritime and land containers

By eliminating ethylene, ozone slows down the ripening process, thereby extending the shelf life of products. Additionally, its oxidizing action destroys the cell membranes of bacteria, viruses, and molds, reducing contamination risks and enhancing food safety. Ozone (O₃) is a powerful molecule with natural properties that make it an ideal ally for transporting fresh products.

  • Control of internal environment
    Systems utilizing ozone, such as those we offer, maintain a controlled atmosphere inside containers, ensuring optimal conditions during transportation.
  • Reduction of chemical use
    Ozone is a natural disinfectant that decomposes into oxygen, leaving no harmful residues. This reduces the need for chemical preservatives, aligning with current environmental and health standards.
  • Cost efficiency
    Implementing ozone systems can lead to cost savings by reducing product losses and minimizing the use of chemical agents.
