Fruit and vegetable cleaning machine is a kind of equipment commonly used in the production of fruit and vegetable products. When the equipment is used for a long time, of course, there will be some hidden bacteria breeding, so we also need to regularly disinfect the fruit and vegetable cleaning machine. So how do we usually disinfect the fruit and vegetable cleaning machine? Ozone sterilization is one of the methods.

 

Ozone can destroy chemical bonds of organic pesticides

 

There are a lot of fruit and vegetable cleaning machine, fruit and vegetable cleaning machine. According to the publicity, the fruit and vegetable cleaning machine can not only "effectively remove the deep pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits", but also "effectively remove the growth hormone, clenbuterol and hookworm virus in meat" and "effectively remove the antibiotic drug residues in seafood and aquatic products".

 

The principle of the fruit and vegetable cleaning machine is that the ozone emitted from the machine is a strong oxidant, while the pesticide is an organic compound. The ozone disinfection water destroys the chemical bond of the organic pesticide through strong oxidation, making it lose its property, and killing all kinds of bacteria and viruses on the surface to achieve the purpose of cleaning.

 

The role of ozone

 

Decomposition of pesticides and hormones: ozone has strong oxidizability, rapidly oxidizes the molecular chains of pesticides and hormones, making them stable inorganic compounds;

 

Sterilization and disinfection: the single atom in ozone has strong permeability, rapidly oxidizes the cell walls of bacteria and viruses, generates inorganic compounds, and has the purpose of sterilization and disinfection;

 

Separation of heavy metal ions: the oxygen atom in ozone can oxidize the heavy metal ions dissolved in water into nontoxic compounds insoluble in water and precipitate them out;

 

Fresh keeping and deodorization: for vegetables washed with ozone water or blown with ozone gas, the fresh-keeping period can be extended by 2-3 times. Ozone gas can remove the bad smell in the toilet and the fishy smell and moldy rice smell in the kitchen.
