Fruit and vegetables are mostly stored (and cooled) for a longer amount of time. Ozone can help to extend the shelf-life of fruit and vegetables, which means the produce will stay fresh for longer.<br \/>\nThere are two methods to extend the shelf life. The first consists of ozonising the product before it is stored. The second consists of dosing ozone in the storage spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The first method is used more often for products that are packaged and distributed shortly after. This method is explained further on the following page: <em><strong><a title=\"Wassen \/ desinfecteren van groente en fruit\" href=\"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/desinfectie-groente-fruit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wassen \/ desinfecteren van groente en fruit<\/a><\/strong><\/em> .<br \/>\nThe second method is mostly used for products that are stored for a longer amount of time like apples and pears for example.<br \/>\nThe influence of ozone has two big advantages, the first is that ozone kills bacteria and fungo. The second is that ozone oxidised ethylene. A lot of fruit and vegetables excrete ethylene that speeds up the ripening process. Because ozone oxidises the ethylene, the ripening process slows down and the product stays fresh for longer. <\/p>\n<p>Using ozone isn\u2019t just useful to store fruit and vegetables, but also for eggs, cheese and potatoes. The extension of the shelf life varies between a couple days to multiple months.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6763\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/apples-6741164_1920-300x200.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6763\" src=\"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/apples-6741164_1920-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Verlengen van houdbaarheid met ozon\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/apples-6741164_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/apples-6741164_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/apples-6741164_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/apples-6741164_1920-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/apples-6741164_1920-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/apples-6741164_1920-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/apples-6741164_1920-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/apples-6741164_1920-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/apples-6741164_1920-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/apples-6741164_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Extending the shelf life using ozone<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019d like some more information on what we can do for the storage of your products,  please contact us, we\u2019re happy to help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extending the shelf-life of products using ozone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3410","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3410"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3410\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7713,"href":"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3410\/revisions\/7713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tolwatertechniek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
