Our trials and field pilots demonstrate effective biofilm removal with nanobubbles, extended shelf life, and substantial reductions in targeted pathogens.
NICO Nanobubble ozonated water doesn't produce harmful chlorine by-products like chloramines and doesn't require a specialized disposal system. In certain municipalities, processors may need to treat chlorine with extra chemicals before disposal. Nanobubble systems for vegetable cleaning and processing naturally break down ozone into oxygen, posing no harm and allowing the release of ozonated wash water back into the environment or for recycling.
Early research findings indicate that nanobubble solutions for fruit and vegetable washing hold significant promise for effective cleaning. They have shown the ability to eliminate Escherichia coli O157:H7 in contaminated water that doesn't contain organic matter. Additionally, they have demonstrated substantial reductions of Salmonella and Listeria bacteria.
These NICO Nanobubbles also prove effective in reducing germ levels in dirty water and on surfaces where food comes into contact, ensuring thorough cleanliness. Furthermore, studies conducted in collaboration with our university partner reveal that nanobubble systems for vegetable cleaning and processing are comparable to conventional cleaning chemicals in their ability to remove slimy biofilms from surfaces. Moreover, they exhibit a unique capacity to prevent the formation of new biofilms over time.
