Abstract

The treatment of a food product is carried out using ozonized water in at least two containers, each container possibly being associated with a set value of the dissolved-ozone content that it is desirable to maintain therein, by ozonizing a stream of water so as to obtain a dissolved-ozone content of the stream of ozonized water greater than or equal to the highest of the set values of the dissolved-ozone content which are associated with each of said containers, and the dissolved-ozone content in each of the solution containers is analyzed in order to compare the result of each of the analyses with the associated set value and to carry out a feedback operation, where appropriate, depending on the result of each comparison, on the control of the flow of ozonized water injected into the container in question, so as to reestablish the dissolved-ozone content of this solution container at its associated set value.
