Due to its strong oxidation properties, Ozone (O₃) is widely used in the aquatic processing industry, showing excellent cleaning and disinfection effects. Here are a few key benefits of ozone cleaning for fish glue treatment:
Microbial killing
Ozone is a broad-spectrum disinfectant that can effectively kill all types of bacteria, viruses, molds and yeasts, including those that have some resistance to antibiotics.
The mechanism of action is to destroy the cell wall and membrane of microorganisms, so that they lose their viability and achieve the purpose of deep disinfection.
Odor removal
The sea smell of fish glue itself can be significantly eliminated by the effective oxidation of ozone, and the product flavor can be improved.
Other organic matter such as oil residue, blood, etc., can also be effectively degraded, purify water quality, and make fish glue look cleaner and fresh.
Increase shelf life
Reduce the number of microorganisms, inhibit enzyme activity, delay the deterioration process, thus extending the shelf life of fish glue.
This is especially important for long-distance transportation and storage, helping to reduce losses and guarantee quality when it reaches the consumer.
Environmentally friendly
Ozone naturally decomposes back to oxygen in water, does not produce toxic by-products, has no residual pollution to the environment, and meets the requirements of green production.
Processing safety
Compared to conventionally used chemicals, ozone poses a lower risk to human health, avoids potential drug residue problems and increases food safety.
Convenience of operation
The ozone generator is easy to integrate into the existing production line, simple operation, strong adjustability, suitable for different scale processing operations.
However, it is worth noting that although ozone is good, it must also be used with caution. Excessive concentration is not only irritating to the respiratory system, but also may cause corrosion to some materials, so in practical applications, the dose needs to be strictly controlled, and ensure that the working area is well ventilated to ensure the health and safety of staff.
In short, the application of ozone cleaning technology in fish glue processing has shown its unique advantages, not only improving the level of product hygiene, but also promoting the development of the industry in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable direction. For the modern food processing industry, which pursues high quality and safety standards, it is a technological innovation worthy of in-depth research and promotion.
