Abstract

This article reviews the relevant research on ozone technology in grain storage and processing.This paper systematically expounds the effects of ozone on the prevention and control of grain microorganisms, the degradation of mycotoxins, pest control, the removal of pesticide residues, and the quality of grain.Ozone reduces the total amount of mold and bacteria in grain varieties such as rice and wheat by destroying the cell structure of microorganisms.Ozone has a significant degradation effect on mycotoxins such as aflatoxin (AFT) and deoxynivalenol (DON), and the toxicity of the degradation products is significantly reduced.Ozone is also effective in killing stored grain pests and degrading organophosphorus pesticides to safety standards.Under appropriate concentration and processing time conditions, ozone can improve the quality of grains and processed products, such as enhancing the whiteness of flour and increasing the stability of dough.
