Clean water and its impact on food health and safety

Title : Clean water and its impact on food health and safety

Abstract:

The neglect of the use of clean water in food businesses has a very important effect on the delivery of healthy, safe and abundant food to people all over the world. Our studies show that the water used to wash fresh fruits and vegetables produced every year transmits infectious agents, which causes large amounts of waste during storage. On the other hand, the water used in meat, chicken and fish slaughterhouses during production seriously affects product quality and shelf life. The chemical composition of the water used in beverage and ice production facilities, which we have frequently encountered recently, negatively affects human health. It is the right of all people to reach new, safe, high-quality and abundant food. New molecules and applications developed for this purpose will take the world to a new level in terms of food health and safety.
