APPLICATION OF COLD PLASMA IN FRESH FOODPRESERVATION

Non thermal plasma techniques is an emerging non thermal technology for the improvement of foodsafety. Plasma is ionized gas, that consists of a large number of different species such as electrons,positive and negative ions, free radicals, gas atoms, molecules in the ground or excited state, whichcan generated by different ways. The cold plasma technology is an emerging disinfection method thatoffers an exciting complementary or alternative, novel non thermal approach for reducing themicrobial populations on the raw or fresh produce surface and packaging materials. Overallapplication of cold plasma for microbial destruction on different food substrates like fresh fruits, cutfruits, dry fruits, meat products, cheese, etc. and Recent findings in the area of non-thermal plasmasfor inactivation of microorganisms and spores.
