For more than a century, ozone has been used in Europe for purifying drinking water and is currently used in the USA for purifying bottled water and decontaminating cooling towers. Products like shredded lettuce, when washed with ozone have a longer shelf life and a noticeably improved flavour. The pathogens are all comprised of double-carbon bonds to hold the molecular structure together, and any microorganisms exposed to ozone will not just become benign in the water, but instead it will be completely evaporated. Ozonation is an effective technique to degrade pesticides. Compared to chlorination, ozonation is more powerful in pesticide residue degradation without leaving any hazardous chemicals. Since ozone does not remain in water and surface matrix very long, there is no concern about consumption of ozone residue in food products.
