Abstract
A process for decolorizing, sanitizing and deodorizing a food product with ozone. The food product and water are mixed to form an initial solution and supplied to a pumping device to pressurize the solution. An ozone containing gas is injected into the initial solution in order to allow the treatment of the food product, without the occurrence of liquid/gas demixing. The apparatus includes a pumping device for pressurizing the solution, a contactor into which the pressurized solution is fed, a source of ozone, and at least one injector for injecting ozone into the solution.
