An effective sanitizer for fresh produce production: <i>In situ</i> plasma activated water treatment inactivates pathogenic bacteria and maintains the quality of cucurbit fruit
2023-01-04
Abstract excerpt
The effect of plasma activated water (PAW) generated with a dielectric barrier discharge diffusor (DBDD) system on microbial load and organoleptic quality of cucamelons was investigated and compared to the established sanitizer, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Pathogenic serotypes of Escherichia coli , Salmonella enterica , and Listeria monocytogenes were inoculated onto the surface of cucamelons (6.5 log CFU g −...
