	abstract = "The efficacy of ozone as a water additive for washing raspberries and strawberries was investigated. Pathogen-inoculated fruits were treated with aqueous ozone concentrations of 1.7 to 8.9 mg/liter at 20&#176;C for 2 to 64 min, with an aqueous ozone concentration of 21 mg/liter at 4&#176;C for 64 min, or with water as a control. Maximum pathogen reductions on raspberries were 5.6 and 4.5 log CFU/g for <I>Escherichia coli</I> O157:H7 and <I>Salmonella,</I> respectively, at 4&#176;C, whereas reductions on strawberries were 2.9 and 3.3 log CFU/g for <I>E. coli</I> O157:H7 and <I>Salmonella,</I> respectively, at 20&#176;C after 64 min. Washing with water (sparging with air as control) resulted in reductions of approximately 1 log CFU/g. The results presented here indicate that aqueous ozone may be useful as a decontaminant for small fruits.",
