Özet

Ozone (O3) is considered an oxidizing agent that has many uses in the food and agriculture sector. The application of O3in foods is a promising environmentally friendly, practical technology and economical that has attracted industry interest in increasing the shelf-life and maintaining food safety  (Pandiselvam et al., 2018).  Food business is currently undergoing an active transformation process to address the challenges of meeting the growing food requirements for a rapidly increasing global population. This involves implementing solutions such as reformulating products with healthy and sustainable ingredient options, incorporating proteins, vitamins, and antioxidants into foods, and labeling products according to their organic, gluten free, antibiotic free, allergen free, non-GMO, and non-GMO properties. Additionally, there are measures being taken to gradually reduce the calorie and carbohydrate content of foods, prolong the shelf-life, and prevent loss throughout the supply chain of the food industry. It is important to note that harvested products undergo changes due to physical, chemical, and biological factors, which ultimately leads to spoilage.
