This study was carried out to determine therapeutic the effect of ozonated water therapy on bovine pododermatitis. In addition, bactericidal effect of ozonated water on etiological agent of bovine pododermatitis was examined. The pathohistological examination for the pododermatitis, according to application with ozonated water and ozone ointment was investigated. Thirty healthy cattle were divided two groups(each of 15) : control group(povidone group), treatment group(ozone solution group). Various parameters were evaluated in terms of the lameness score, swelling score, lesion score, WBC count, neutrophil count, pathohistological finding, and antimicrobial action. The decrease of lameness and lesion score were shown in hoof lesions on 14 days after application of ozonated water. Significant decrease of swelling was shown in hoof lesions on 14 days 1Corresponding author after application of ozonated water(p<0.01). In hematological findings, WBC count revealed values within normal range. The number of neutrophils was slightly higher than that of normal, however, this was improved on 14 days after application of ozonated water. In pathohistological findings, recovery was rapid macroscopically and microscopically in the treatment with ozonated water on the hoof lesions and ozonated water was effective. In antimicobial action, bactericidal effect was observed in treatment with ozonated water on the hoof lesions and ozonated water was effective.

We investigated possible therapeutic approaches to treat contagious naturally occurring ecthyma in Korean native goats in the Gongju area of Korea. Contagious ecthyma was found in 130 of 150 Korean native goats studied. Sixteen goats, ranged from 2 months to 2.5 years old, were selected for further experiments. The goats were divided into a control group, an ozonated oil group, and an ozonated water group consisting of 5, 5, and 6 goats, respectively. The control animals were not treated during the experimental period. The ozonated oil group was treated with ozonated oil, made by bubbling 200 ppm ozone gas into the oil, dally for 2 weeks. The remaining group of animals were given ozonated drinking water (0.1 ppm) ad libitum for 2 weeks. The ozonated oil treated group (4/5, 80%) had the highest therapeutic rate. The ozonated water group (4/6, 66.7%) had the second highest therapeutic rate, followed by the control group (1/5, 20%). Based on these results, a secondary experiment was performed that included a total of 121 Korean native goats with contagious ecthyma. Ozonated oil was applied daily for 30 days. All of the lesions on the goats with contagious ecthyma were completely cured by application of the ozonated oil. We concluded that ozone therapy was an effective treatment for contagious ecthyma in goats

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of ozonated water and ozonated water+hydrogen peroxide treatment of residual procymidone in perilla leaf containing 20 mg/L procymidone. Samples was treated with ozonated water containing 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mg $O_3/L$ ozone and hydrogen peroxide water containing 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mg $H_2O_2/L$ hydrogen peroxide in pH 5, 7 and 9, respectively, at $15^{\circ}C$. Procymidone removal rate was 26.5% in 7 days at $15^{\circ}C$ and optimum condition of procymidone removal was the case of treating with ozonated water containing 2.0 mg $O_3/L$ and pH 9. As the result procymidone removal rate was about 96.5%. In this case of adding hydrogen peroxide, optimum condition of procymidone removal was $1:0.5{\sim}1(O_3:H_2O_2)$. However, procymidone was nearly removed with the treatment of hydrogen peroxide water only.

The efficacy of the ozonated water (0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 1.0 ppm) in reducing the risk of food-borne disease was investigated in this study. After inoculation of Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19112), Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica biovar Typhimurium (ATCC 12598), Escherichia coli O157:H7 (ATCC 43890) to lettuce, spinach, and beef, inhibition effect with different washing concentrations, time, and methods with ozonated and tap water were evaluated. As a result, there were 2.16 to 3.85 log CFU/mL reduction in different foods and 7 log CFU/mL reduction on cutting boards after watering with ozonated water. Higher than 0.2 ppm of ozonated water treatment reduced the growth of food-borne disease bacteria with increasing washing time and ozone concentration. These results suggested that the ozonated water treatment effectively improved the microbiological quality and food safety.

This paper was carried out to investigate change in the initial microorganism of Pepper which were treated with ozonated water for microbial decontamination. When ozonated water was 30, 60, 90minutes treatment, there was decrease in the overall total microbial of the black & white pepper. Total lactic acid bacteria died completely after contacted with ozonated water for 60minutes but the inhibition rate on the total aerobic bacteria of black & white pepper were 62% and 96%, respectively. Total aerobic bacteria of four packing material was increased after 1 months of storage at 37$^{\circ}C$ when it had treated with 90minutes ozone reaction Then, there was no significant changes in the piperin contents.

Ozone is a strong oxidant and potent disinfecting agent. In this study, volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, acid value and pH all of which are quality indicators in meat products, were evaluated. The meat was treated with the ozonated water (0.2 ppm) for 0, 5, 10, 30, and 60 min and then stored at $5^{\circ}C$ for 24 d. The volatile basic nitrogen content of meat was 22.40 mg% after 9 d of storage and 23.24 mg% at 15 d of storage with ozonated water (0.2 ppm) treatment. During 24 d of storage, the pH, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and acid value were decreased when subjected to ozonated water treatment. These results suggested that the ozonated water treatment effectively improved the chemical properties and food safety.

To investigate the effects of ozonated water concentration and soaking time on adventitious root formation of willow, we studied the efficiency of root cuttings in the revegetation technology of biological engineering of willows. The ozonated water concentrations were used for 5 minutes and 2 hours at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 ppm by soaking method and then the shoot characteristics were observed. The number and length of adventitious roots were determined. The results indicated that 20 ppm of ozonated water for 2 hours and 1 ppm of ozonated water for 5 minutes resulted in leaves turned wither away and no adventitious root production. Considering the appearance, number and length of the adventitious root, soaking willow cuttings into the ozonated water with dissolved ozone concentration, 5 ppm for 2 hours and 10-15 ppm for 5 minutes were suitable for generating adventitious roots.

Effects of chemical treatment with a citric acid solution or ozonated water on microbiological changes in lettuce and cabbage during storage were studied. Fresh lettuce and cabbage samples were cut into small pieces and treated by soaking in either ozonated water or a citric acid solution. After treatment, populations of total bacteria, yeast and mold, and E. coli were determined. Numbers of microorganisms increased during storage, but ozonated water and citric acid treatments retarded the increase in microbial growth. Among treatments, 1 % citric acid treatment was the most effective in terms of microbiological change and inhibition of polyphenoloxidase (PPO). For lettuce, citric acid treatment decreased the microbial growth overall by 1.5 log CFU/g and inhibited the PPO activity by 80%. These results indicate that chemical-treated lettuce and cabbage retained a better quality than those of the control during storage.

Little information exists on how wash operations affect water quality, or the efficacy of sanitizers on vegetable quality and microbial reduction in fresh-cut carrot shreds. This study evaluated the efficacy of chlorine and ozone in reducing microbial loads and maintaining vegetable quality of carrot shreds. Fresh-cut carrot shreds were teated with various chlorine and ozone concentrations for differing times. The samples were then centrifuged to remove excess water, packaged in film, and stored at $5^{\circ}C$. The result indicated that varying the ozonated water wash time affected microbial growth the development of unpleasant odors, color, and the overall quality of carrot shreds. Ozonated water washing for 20 min maintained vegetable quality by inhibiting unpleasant odors, the development of whiteness, and by reducing microbial populations. A single chlorine water wash was effective and resulted in better vegetable quality when compared with two washes. Samples washed for 20 min in ozonated water, however, had better vegetable quality and smaller microbial counts compared to samples washed once in chlorine water A 20 min ozonated water wash is an attractive method for the maintenance of vegetable quality and shelf-life in fresh-cut carrot shreds.
