Abstract
An immersion container for treating produce with an ozonated concentrate liquid is disclosed. The container is configured to hold produce up to a produce fill line and ozonated concentrate liquid up to an ozonated concentrate liquid fill line, ensuring full immersion of the produce. An adjustable egress port controls the drainage of the liquid at a time rate corresponding to a disinfection treatment time. A drying platform supports the produce during immersion, oxygenation, and drying processes. One or more produce agitation mechanisms are operationally related to either the drying platform or the container and are configured to enhance ozonated concentrate liquid interaction during immersion or dislodge any remaining liquid post-treatment. The ozonated concentrate liquid is generated from water via an electrochemical generator. The system may include a flow governor to regulate ozone production and concentration. A method of treating produce using the immersion container is also provided.
