This blog highlights key takeaways from an article originally published by Food Safety Magazine. Full article available here.
This year’s World Food Safety Day theme, Science in Action, challenges us to take innovation out of the lab and into the real world — especially in critical areas like sanitation, biofilm control, water reuse, and pathogen control.
In a recent article published by Food Safety Magazine, Moleaer’s Leah Kramkowski explores how nanobubble technology for food safety is helping industry leaders reduce chemical dependence and improve sanitation efficacy in food processing and commercial kitchen environments, from produce washing to clean-in-place (CIP) systems.
As Leah writes, “Water touches every point of the food supply chain...yet it is often treated as a utility, not a food safety risk or innovation opportunity.”
The article dives into how nanobubbles, particularly when infused with ozone, provide a residue-free, chemical-free and highly effective alternative to traditional chemical sanitizers. The science is compelling, but so is the field data.
“In my opinion, ozone nanobubbles can be the silver bullet in a food safety protocol, when properly understood and applied to their full potential,” says Dr. Al Baroudi, VP of Food Safety at The Cheesecake Factory Inc.
“Their unique ability to deliver highly reactive ozone in a stable, residue-free form makes them exceptionally effective at controlling a broad range of pathogens, spoilage bacteria, viruses, and more across various applications.”
Key Benefits of Nanobubbles for Food Safety and Sanitation
- Enhanced ozone efficacy: Nanobubbles improve ozone stability and reactivity, making it a safer, more effective alternative to chemical sanitizers.
- Biofilm disruption: Nanobubbles’ physical scouring action helps break down biofilms, improving CIP sanitation performance and reducing manual scrubbing or harsh chemicals.
- Water reuse support: In recirculation and reuse systems, nanobubbles lower microbial load and oxygenate water, enabling safer water reuse in food processing without compromising food safety.
