Ozonation for Pseudomonas paracarnis control: biofilm removal and preservation of chicken meat during refrigerated storage.

ABSTRACT: Ozone has been studied to control microorganisms in food, as well as to control biofilm. In this context, the goals of this work were to determine the effect of ozonated water in the removal of Pseudomonas paracarnis biofilm and the effect of ozone gas and ozonated water on inactivating P. paracarnis in deboned chicken breast meat and its effect on product color. AISI 304 coupons were used as a surface for biofilm formation. The coupons were immerged into minimal medium for Pseudomonas inoculated with the P. paracarnis overnight culture (1% w/v) followed by incubation at 25 °C for 7 days. To obtain ozonized water, two different systems were used: system with microbubble generator (MB) and system with porous stone diffuser (PSD). The inlet ozone concentration was 19 mg/L and flow rate of 1
