The gliding arc discharge plasma reactors are known as a source of non-equilibrium plasma at atmospheric pressure. In the present study, generation of dominant reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in gaseous and liquid phase in water by the compact gliding arc device (mini-GAD) and corresponding bactericidal effects were investigated. Water and phosphate buffer solutions were used as model liquids. Mini-GAD is a strong source of nitrogen oxides (up to 800 ppm NO and 200 ppm NO 2) that result in high concentrations of nitrites and nitrates in water solutions. The highest bactericidal efficacy towards Escherichia coli was achieved for non-buffered water solution.

“…ACP treatment was again more effective on the smooth surface of tomatoes over the more complex surface of strawberries. Dasan et al (2017) evaluated the decontamination effect of a gliding arc discharge plasma system applied to different types of food contact surfaces, such as stainless steel, silicone, and polyethylene terephthalate, contaminated with E. coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Air and nitrogen, used as sources of gas, were compared with varying treatment times and gas flow rates.…”

“…CP has shown potential to be used as an alternative microbial decontamination method in the fresh produce industry (Critzer, Kelly-Wintenberg, South, & Golden, 2007;Fernandez et al, 2013;Niemira & Sites, 2008). The main advantages of CP processing are: antimicrobial efficacy at low temperature, broad spectrum of potential applications (surface of the produce, surface of the equipment), generation of plasma in place, suitability for water sensitive surfaces, and a residue-free attribute (Dasan et al, 2017). Although some information on the use of CP as an antimicrobial treatment in fresh produce is available, much more research is still needed.…”

Listeria monocytogenes, in fresh and ready‐to‐eat produce such as whole fresh apples, is of concern as there is no “kill step” in their packing process that would eliminate the pathogenic bacteria. Recent listeriosis outbreaks revealed that insufficient cleaning and sanitation practices in fresh apple packing houses may lead to contamination of fruit with L. monocytogenes. This article discusses three fundamental aspects for ensuring microbiological safety of fresh apples: protection of fresh apples from microbial contamination during the packing process, decontamination intervention techniques, and the challenges in removal of L. monocytogenes from fresh apples. Currently used and novel methods of fresh produce decontamination are discussed and evaluated on their usefulness for the apple packing process. Additionally, present regulatory requirements, possible routes of produce contamination, and bacteria attachment and survival mechanisms are described. Optimum methods for microbial decontamination of whole fresh apples are still to be determined. Critical aspects that should be considered in developing the interventions include apple morphology, conditions and scale of the packing process, and influence of the interventions on apple quality. Evaluation of the currently used and emerging decontamination methods indicated that the hurdle technology and rotating use of sanitizers to avoid development of bacterial biofilm resistance may give the best results, although not conclusively.

Comparative evaluation of the virucidal effect of remote and direct cold air plasmas with UV‐C

Cold atmospheric pressure plasma is an emerging nonthermal processing technology for the decontamination of foodborne pathogens. This study presents a comparative evaluation of the energy efficiency of the decontamination by three different dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) setups operating in air against Feline calicivirus with a UV‐C lamp. Significant enhancement of the energy efficiency was achieved with a lab‐scale batch reactor prototype, which employed surface DBD, leading to similar energy per unit area requirements as that for UV‐C. A key advantage of plasma over UV‐based disinfection systems is that plasmas are not limited by shadowing effects. Nonetheless, unlike UV‐C, the virucidal efficacy of plasma is significantly reduced for dry samples and remote plasma treatment is only effective against wet samples.
