The production and use of ozone micro-nano bubble water (O3 -MNBW) is an innovative technology that prolongs the reactivity of aqueous-phase ozone and maintains the freshness and quality of fruits and vegetables by removing pesticides, mycotoxins, and other contaminants. The quality of parsley treated with different concentrations of O3 -MNBW was investigated during storage at 20 ℃ for 5 d, and found that a ten-minute exposure of parsley to 2.5 mg·L-1 O3 -MNBW effectively preserved the sensory quality of parsley, and resulted in lower weight loss, respiration rate, ethylene production, MDA levels, and a higher level of firmness, vitamin C, and chlorophyll content, relative to untreated parsley...
