Ozone, a powerful oxidant, may be used for the inactivation of various microorganisms and the degradation of chemical contaminants. Although there are not many reports on the use of ozone against filamentous fungi or their mycotoxins, promising results have been reported. With a short half-time, at neutral pH and ambient temperature, ozone is able to inactivate microorganisms and decompose their toxic metabolites, leaving no traces of ozone in the treated commodity. This fact makes the use of ozone safe in food applications. There has been relatively limited research in this topic, especially with the use of aqueous ozone. The best management strategy still remains to be developed, but initial studies have indicated that an application of ozone for a short period of exposure is capable of controlling the proliferation of filamentous fungi and of degrading many mycotoxins.
臭氧是一种强氧化剂，可用于灭活各种微生物和降解化学污染物。虽然关于臭氧对抗丝状真菌或其霉菌毒素的应用报道并不多，但已有令人鼓舞的结果。臭氧半衰期短，在中性 pH 值和环境温度下，能够灭活微生物并分解其有毒代谢物，在处理过的商品中不会留下臭氧痕迹。这一事实使得臭氧在食品应用中的使用变得安全。在这个主题上的研究相对较少，特别是在使用水基臭氧方面。最佳管理策略仍有待开发，但初步研究表明，短时间暴露于臭氧能够控制丝状真菌的增殖，并降解许多霉菌毒素。
