Cold plasma technology in the food industry is increasingly being adopted for its effective decontamination of food from foodborne pathogens and for its ability for enhanced pest mitigation in stored products. This new volume explores the techniques and methods of processing food products without subjecting them to heat treatment, using the promising cutting-edge technology of cold plasma for food preservation and food safety. The book discusses the design and generation of cold plasma along with the interaction with food molecules and covers applications in agri-food systems such as in solid foods, liquid foods, and food packaging. It presents the effects of cold plasma on starch modification, food surface modification, and its influence on toxin reduction. It also reports on advances and research being conducted to deal with simulation, modeling, and emerging other combination technologies. A chapter also reports on adopting cold plasma for spaceflight-grown produce.
