Abstract: Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) provides high-efficacy microbial decontamination without thermal degradation of heat-labile phytonutrients. Dielectric barrier discharge plasma achieved a 4.2-log pathogen reduction and extended ambient shelf-life by 21 days with >92% antioxidant retention. [...] Read Full Article →
