Nonthermal plasma for pesticide and microbial elimination on fruits and vegetables: an overview

© 2017 Institute of Food Science and Technology Nonthermal plasma (NTP) is defined in terms of partly ionised gas which overall temperature is quite low because the stored energy is mostly in free electrons. Applications of NTP have been expanded to new areas of food applications such as the microbi...
