Why ozone can disinfect and deodorize?

As the old saying goes, disease comes from the mouth, which means that we eat bacteria in the refrigerator every day!
According to investigations and studies, more than 700 cold bacteria, led by Listeria, are found in dairy products, fresh and cooked foods that we can’t see, and are the chief culprit that endangers family health.
The molecular formula of ozone is O₃. It is a sky blue stench gas, dark black in liquid state and blue-black in solid state. Ozone mainly exists in the lower ozone layer of the stratosphere 20 kilometers away from the earth's surface. It absorbs, blocks and weakens the harmful short-wave ultraviolet light to prevent it from reaching the earth.
So why can ozone be disinfected and deodorized? Let us discuss it together!
Ozone is a strong oxidant, and the sterilization process is a biochemical oxidation reaction. O3 sterilization has the following 3 forms:
1.Ozone can oxidize and decompose the enzymes necessary for the internal glucose of bacteria to inactivate and die of bacteria.
2.Directly interact with bacteria and viruses, destroy their organelles, DNA and RNA, destroy the metabolism of bacteria, and cause the death of bacteria.
3.Through the cell membrane tissue, invade into the cell, and act on the lipoproteins of the outer membrane and the lipopolysaccharide inside, causing the bacteria to undergo permeability distortion and dissolve and die.
Compared with the conventional sterilization method, the ozone sterilization method has the following characteristics:
(1) High efficiency.
(2) High cleanliness.
(3) Convenience.
(4) Economy.
