Abstract

A method of sanitizing food is disclosed, comprising applying an aqueous sanitizing solution to food by spraying the aqueous sanitizing solution from multiple directions onto the entire outer surface of the food while moving the food laterally relative to the spray, wherein each spray Sufficient to wet microorganisms adhering to food surfaces, wherein the sanitizing solution includes ozone at a concentration of up to 15 ppm, and preferably also contains at least one agent that inactivates food microorganisms, wherein the concentration of the agent is sufficient to microbial inactivation, maintaining contact between said sanitizing solution and said food for at least a period of time effective to maximize wetting of the surface of the food by the sanitizing solution containing said at least one agent, and then removing said food from said food in At least 75% of the liquid is expelled mechanically.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to food sanitization, which preserves their appearance and prolongs their shelf life. Background of the invention [0002] As a technique for food sanitization, it is desirable to eliminate microbial contamination from the surface of the food before it is provided to the consumer for consumption. [0003] Food is traditionally sanitized by immersing it in a sink or flowing stream of water containing such sanitizing agents, after which the food is centrifuged to remove the water. This is an unsatisfactory technique because the product retains so much water that it becomes difficult to maintain the physical properties, freshness and aesthetic appearance of the original product. [0004] The use of ozone or aqueous solutions containing ozone to clean food has been proposed in the past. The prior art publications dealing with this proposal also lack an understanding of how to obtain good preservation of its prolongation. ...
