Cold plasma in food processing: Design, mechanisms, and application
TLDR
In this article , the most promising cold plasma sources and operation modes, the influence of the operation conditions on plasma properties, and its efficacity in food processing are discussed. But, the design of safe cold plasma-based processes with minimal impact on quality needs to consider the food composition, packaging molecular structure, and microorganism or targeting molecules concentration.About:
