“…Plasma‐mediated surface chemical deposition refers to deposit desired coatings onto a food packaging surface and control the thickness in the range of 1µm. The deposition can enhance barrier properties or impart specific functionalities of the package such as barrier layers and antimicrobial property (Lei et al., ). Therefore, in the last decade, a great deal of research related to plasma‐assisted deposition has been done in food packaging field.…”

Fresh produce, like fruits and vegetables, are important sources of nutrients and health‐promoting compounds. However, incidences of foodborne outbreaks associated with fresh produce often occur; it is thus important to develop and expand decay‐control technologies that can not only maintain the quality but can also control the biological hazards in postharvest, processing, and storage to extend their shelf life. It is under such a situation that plasma‐mediated treatments have been developed as a novel nonthermal processing tool, offering many advantages and attracting much interest from researchers and the food industry. This review summarizes recent developments of cold plasma technology and associated activated water for shelf life extension of fresh produce. An overview of plasma generation and its physical–chemical properties as well as methods for improving plasma efficiency are first presented. Details of using the technology as a nonthermal agent in inhibiting spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms, inactivating enzymes, and modifying the barrier properties or imparting specific functionalities of packaging materials to extend shelf life of food produce are then reviewed, and the effects of cold plasma‐mediated treatment on microstructure and quality attributes of fresh produce are discussed. Future prospects and research gaps of cold plasma are finally elucidated. The review shows that atmospheric plasma‐mediated treatments in various gas mixtures can significantly inhibit microorganisms, inactive enzyme, and modify packaging materials, leading to shelf life extension of fresh produce. The quality attributes of treated produce are not compromised but improved. Therefore, plasma‐mediated treatment has great potential and values for its application in the food industry.

“…El quitosano de alto peso molecular forma una capa que impide que las células de B. cereus tomen nutrientes del medio, mientras que el de bajo peso molecular, penetra las células causando daños morfológicos [88]. Este compuesto ha sido utilizado como agente antimicrobiano en bolsas para alimentos e inhibe el crecimiento de otros microorganismos como Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli y Bacillus subtilis [89].…”

“…It is used in similar applications to LDPE. Oriented polypropylene is a clear glossy film with good optical properties and a high tensile strength and puncture resistance [3]. It has moderate permeability to gases and odors and a higher barrier to water vapor, which is not affected by changes in humidity.…”
