Aqueous Ozone for the Floral Market An Innovative New Tool to Harness Current technology has harnessed the purification power of ozone in a highly mobile, OSHA safe, FDA approved application. Mobile Ozonated Water solutions can provide supermarket and other retail food operators a new tool for food safety and perishable spoilage reduction. Floral “Shrink” is A Costly Problem!
Today, the rapid growth of floral sales in the supermarket industry has created a tremendous “profit recovery” opportunity for retailers using the EnviroWash System as a tool to rehydrate fresh cut floral with ozonated water. This can be done in tandem or in replacement of current preservatives. With the generous margins available in this department, recovering a portion of this loss represents a significant incremental gross profit.

A Proven Shelf-Life Enhancement Agent Specific tests in a retail supermarkets' floral department indicate that rehydrated roses' survival rate is more than 10% greater with ozonated water (2ppm/1 minute exposure) with daily exposure to ozonated water, tyhan the control solution that does not include ozone.

As a Shelf Life Enhancement Agent… “Treatment with ozonated water can extend the shelf life of apples, grapes, oranges, pears, raspberries and strawberries by reducing microbial populations and by oxidation of ethylene to retard ripening.” Source: U.S. Food & Drug Administration Center for Food Safety & Applied Nutrition, September 30, 2001 Contact
