“…The results of the study report that the use of ozone dissolved in water reduces the decrease in the fresh weight of artichoke heads compared to the control sample [41]. Other research results indicate that ozonation of fennel reduces its weight loss by as much as 47% compared to control during 20 days of storage [42]. Ozone gas with a concentration of 10 ppm applied to green asparagus had a significant impact on reducing weight loss during 30 days of storage of the tested raw materials [43].…”

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of ozone gas fumigation on the mechanical, chemical, and microbiological parameters of radish tubers. Radish plants were grown in the ground in accordance with the principles of good agricultural practice and condition suitable for the soil and climatic conditions of south-eastern Poland. At the end of the growing season, 24 h before harvest, radish plants were exposed to a variable factor, i.e., fumigation with ozone gas at various doses (1 ppm for 1 and 5 min; 5 ppm for 1 and 5 min) in order to modify selected metabolic pathways of bioactive compounds. Then, 24 h after ozonation, radish tubers were harvested and placed in a climatic chamber with controlled conditions, i.e., 2 °C and 90% humidity. Laboratory analyses were performed during storage on days 1, 5, and 10. The ozonation used did not significantly improve the mechanical properties and water content of radish tubers. There was a beneficial effect of selected gaseous ozone doses (1 ppm for 1 and 5 min; 5 ppm for 1 min on the 10th day of storage) on the biosynthesis of selected bioactive compounds, i.e., ascorbic acid content, total polyphenol content, and antioxidant potential during storage. The most beneficial effects of the use of gaseous ozone were observed in the storage process in reducing the microbiological load of radish tubers. Among the ozonation doses used, the dose of 5 ppm for 5 min had the most beneficial effect on reducing the microbiological load. It reduced the number of yeasts and molds by 14.2% and aerobic mesophilic bacteria by 20.9% compared to the control sample on the last day of storage. Additionally, between the 5th and 10th day of storage, a significant effect of each ozone dose applied on reducing the occurrence of yeasts, molds, and mesophilic aerobic bacteria during tuber storage was noted.

“…The reduction in the amount of flavonoid and total phenol with the increase in ozone can be related to the unusual accumulation of oxygen molecules that cannot be absorbed during ozone production. Ozone is transformed and has increased the production of ROS (reactive oxygen species) (Lin et al, 2023). Researchers conducted similar studies in this field.…”

Medicinal plants are widely used in various traditional and modern medical methods due to their therapeutic properties. Drying is a common method used to preserve the biochemical compounds of medicinal plants. Still, conventional drying methods can lead to the loss of active compounds due to exposure to high temperatures. This research aimed to design and construct an ozone generator for use in a combined dryer and evaluate the ozone, temperature, and hot air flow rate on the quality properties of mint (Mentha spicata L.). Drying experiments were conducted at varying temperatures, air flow speeds, and ozone levels. Results indicated that increasing temperature reduced total phenol and flavonoid content while increasing antioxidant capacity. Higher airflow speed positively influenced total phenol, total flavonoid content and antioxidant potency but reduced drying time. Ozone exposure increased total phenol, flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, and had minimal effect on drying time. Optimization revealed that a temperature of 52.47°C, air flow rate of 1.5 m/s, and 90.37% ozone concentration yielded favorable outcomes, including enhanced phenolic and flavonoid content, antioxidant power, and decreased energy consumption. Compared to other drying methods, the proposed ozone‐enhanced method proved superior in preserving bioactive compounds and maintaining a reasonable drying time. Overall, the research highlights the potential of ozone‐assisted drying for optimizing the quality of medicinal plants during preservation.Practical ApplicationThe paper introduces a novel and efficient method for preserving the quality of medicinal mint. By concurrently applying ozone and infrared drying techniques, this approach aims to capitalize on their synergistic effects in maintaining the plant's beneficial compounds. Ozone acts as a natural antimicrobial agent, preserving the plant's integrity, while infrared drying expedites the process without compromising the phytochemical profile. This innovative method not only ensures microbial safety and extended shelf life but also enhances the mint's aroma, flavor, and nutrient retention. The practical application of this combined technique holds promise for pharmaceutical and herbal industries, providing a valuable approach for optimizing the drying process and preserving the medicinal attributes of Mentha spicata L.
