OZONE TREATMENT OF LIQUID FOODSTUFF
First Claim
1. A method for inhibiting bacterial growth in a biological liquid media by means of ozone containing gas flow, whereby a biological liquid medium is passed by a finely divided gas stream containing ozone, whereby the ozone is distributed via a porous means providing ozone over a part of the pathway of the biological liquid medium being treated, whereby the amount of ozone is added at least 1 ppm of the liquid treated, the liquid medium is passes to a dwell time space while being mixed to provide complete mixing between liquid and ozone, whereby the dwell time of the ozone in the liquid is up to one minute, whereupon the liquid medium is degassed to eliminate excess of ozone dissolved therein.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting bacterial growth in liquid media by means of ozone containing gas flow, whereby a liquid medium at ambient temperature is passed by a finely divided gas stream containing ozone, the liquid medium is passed to dwell time space while being mixed to provide complete mixing between liquid and ozone, whereupon the liquid medium is degassed to eliminate excess of ozone dissolved therein.
