Abstract Ozone has emerged as a promising technology for preserving stored grains and end products. Its efficiency biocide the absence of residues make it an attractive alternative to traditional chemical methods food preservation. This study reviews recent advancements in ozone application techniques, including continuous flow treatments, closed‐loop recirculation systems, low‐pressure well their impact on product quality. The also examines mechanisms action, its half‐life grain storage environments, ensure uniform gas distribution. results this provide foundation understanding reactions various types offering essential information effectively sizing treatment estimating concentrations over time, determining quantity products be treated. A thorough comprehension behavior porous such silos, stability under diverse environmental conditions is crucial enhancing applicability. While scientific evidence supports ozone's efficacy controlling pests microorganisms, further investigation needed nutritional quality final Additionally, review highlights latest regulatory approvals use industry, emphasizing importance compliance safety. findings underscore need continued technological development economic analysis evaluate long‐term viability applications agriculture.
