| dc.description.abstract | In this review paper, we analyze the potential of using ozone as an alternative pest control technology for use in stored products, and we also illustrate data on the efficacy of ozone against micro-organisms and its effect on qualitative characteristics and properties of the treated commodities. Ozone application is currently attracting attention, particularly due to the fact that a) there are no residues on the product and b) there is no need for aeration to remove the gas. Novel industrial applications and improvements in ozone technology together with new regulatory actions worldwide have emerged in recent years, making its use in the food industry easier and applicable in a wide range of cases. This review paper presents available literature on ozone in relation to its use against pests and other organisms, but also to its different application techniques and for large scale viability. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
