Effects of Ozone Treatment by Microorganisms Inactivation in the Food Industry

식품산업에서의 미생물 제어를 위한 오존처리 효과

In order to develovpment of new sterilizing method applied to food industry, effects of ozone treatment on microorganisms, associated with food hygiene were investigated. Microorganisms were immersed in water and sparged with ozonised air(ozone concentration, 3mg liter-1) at an air flow rate of 5 liter min-1. When organisms were treated with benzoic acid and sorbic acid of 0.4∼1.0g/$\ell$, respectively, they were not dectable perfectly. Sodium benzoate had an effect on Penicillium islandicum. When bacteria were sparged with ozonised air, Pseudomonas aeruginosa completely inhibited at 60 minutes, and the killing Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium islandicum. Also, all of bacteria were inactivated after immersed with ozonated water for 10minutes, but two fungal species were not effective.
