Understanding the Challenges Grain and Oilseed Storage Woes Storage of grains and oilseeds is fraught with risks such as pest infestations mold development mycotoxin contamination and overall quality degradation Traditional fumigation methods often involve chemical pesticides that raise health and environmental concerns
The Aeolus Ozone Advantage Ozone O3 a powerful and natural oxidizing agent offers a multifaceted approach to resolving storage challenges and enhancing the quality of stored grains and oilseeds
1 Pest Control
Ozone effectively eliminates pests insects and their larvae during fumigation ensuring grains and oilseeds remain free from contamination
2 Mold and Fungus Prevention
Ozone hinders mold and fungal growth which can lead to spoilage and mycotoxin development
3 Mycotoxin Reduction
Ozone exposure can lead to the breakdown of mycotoxins safeguarding the quality and safety of stored products
4 Extended Shelf Life
Ozone treatment extends the shelf life of grains and oilseeds by inhibiting microbial activity and deterioration
5 Chemical Free Approach
Ozone fumigation is an ecofriendly alternative to chemical pesticides reducing environmental impact and health concerns
6 Improved Nutrient Retention
Ozone's oxidative properties aid in preserving the nutritional content of grains and oilseeds ensuring higher quality for end consumers
Commercial Benefits Adopting ozone technology for grain and oilseed storage yields numerous commercial advantages
