Innovate UK grants £344,000 to study ozone in food storage
Researchers have secured funding of more than £344,000 through Innovate UK to examine the safe use of ozone in food storage applications.
The grant, reported on 9 November 2026, will support work on how ozone can be used effectively in food storage facilities.
Regulatory position
Ozone can already be used for post-harvest preservation. However, its regulatory status depends on how it is classed, which is one of the issues that makes assessment of safe use important for operators of storage sites.
Innovate UK is the UK's government-backed innovation agency, and it funds research and development projects with commercial potential.
