Ozone micro nano bubble technology: in-depth analysis behind "one click cleaning"

In modern life, the "one click cleaning" function brings great convenience to people, especially when combined with ozone micro nano bubble technology, which can achieve multiple effects of removing fishy smell, sterilization and preservation. The technical principles and advantages behind it are worth exploring in depth.

Technical principles

1. Strong oxidizing properties of ozone: Ozone (O3) is a strong oxidizing agent with a redox potential second only to fluorine and higher than common chlorine and hydrogen peroxide. When ozone acts on substances with fishy odor, such as trimethylamine and other fishy ingredients in aquatic products, it can decompose them into odorless or less odorous substances through chemical reactions, thereby achieving the effect of removing fishy odor. During the sterilization process, ozone can oxidize key parts such as cell membranes, proteins, and nucleic acids of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, damaging their physiological structure and function, rendering them inactive, and achieving efficient sterilization.

2. Characteristics of micro nano bubbles: Micro nano bubbles refer to bubbles with a diameter between 10 and 100 nanometers. It has a huge specific surface area, which allows bubbles to fully contact the surrounding medium. During the cleaning process, micro nano bubbles continuously rupture, generating local high temperature, high pressure, and strong shock waves. On the one hand, this physical effect can remove dirt and impurities from the surface of objects, and on the other hand, combined with ozone, it can enhance the killing effect on bacteria and other microorganisms. At the same time, the rising speed of micro nano bubbles is extremely slow, and they can stay in water for a long time, prolonging the contact time between ozone and the treated substance and improving the reaction efficiency.

3. Collaborative mechanism: Ozone dissolves at the gas-liquid interface of micro nano bubbles and in the water, and the micro nano bubbles act as carriers to transport ozone to various corners. When micro nano bubbles rupture, high concentrations of ozone are released, further enhancing the oxidation and sterilization effects. This synergistic effect not only leverages the strong oxidizing properties of ozone, but also utilizes the unique physical properties of micro nano bubbles to achieve comprehensive cleaning, odor removal, sterilization, and preservation of objects.

Technical advantages

1. Efficient cleaning: For various types of food surface dirt, pesticide residues, etc., the physical peeling and chemical oxidation of ozone micro nano bubbles can achieve a more thorough cleaning effect than traditional water washing. For example, when cleaning vegetables, it can not only remove visible stains on the surface, but also effectively decompose pesticide molecules, ensuring food safety.

2. Deep deodorization: Compared to ordinary water washing or simple cleaning agents, it can decompose fishy substances from the root, rather than simply masking the odor. Whether dealing with seafood, meat, or other ingredients with fishy odors, significant deodorizing effects can be achieved.

3. Broad spectrum sterilization: It can kill a variety of bacteria (such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus), viruses (such as influenza virus, hepatitis B virus), fungi (such as Aspergillus flavus) and other microorganisms, with high sterilization rate, effectively reducing the risk of food deterioration and extending the fresh-keeping period.

4. Safety and environmental protection: Ozone will decompose into oxygen on its own after completing the oxidation reaction, and will not produce secondary pollution. Micro nano bubbles themselves are also a green physical technology. Compared with chemical preservatives and fungicides, they are more friendly to human health and the environment, and will not leave harmful residues on food.

5. Long lasting preservation: By inhibiting microbial growth and slowing down oxidation processes, ozone micro nano bubble technology can effectively extend the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, meat and other ingredients. For example, under refrigeration conditions, strawberries treated with this technology can extend their shelf life by several days and maintain good color, taste, and nutritional content.
