I found them very clean under microscope and very nice smooth touch, but how about some little ozone or O3 oxy?

No, UVC does not produce ozone.
UVV light refers to ultraviolet light wavelengths near 185 nm. This wavelength does react with Oxygen to produce Ozone. The UVC light is near 260-nanometer frequency. This is long enough (with less energy) to avoid interaction with Oxygen.

Use of Ozone as sterlizer for dry friuts:
Insects and vermin are driven away from high levels of ozone. Ozone not only helps remove thier odors it keeps them from coming back. Ozone used in a basement can retard mold growth, as well as keep insects and mice out. Ozone used in the attic can keep birds, squirels or other critters out of your house.
Ozone kills microbes much faster than weaker oxidizers like chlorine — up to 5,000 times faster. But unlike chlorine, ozone oxidation leaves no harmful or foul byproducts and residue only oxygen. Further, microorganisms can't build up a tolerance to ozone as they can to less reactive chemicals like chlorine.
Therefore, ozone can very well be used for sterlizing dried fruits.
