The Application of Plasma Treatment Technology to Food Sterilization

Abstract

Plasma-based ion implantation is fundamentally a three-dimensional ion implantation technique that utilizes plasma as its foundation. It has been employed for surface modification of industrial and medical materials. This paper presents the research outcomes of our group, focusing on the potential utilization of plasma-based ion implantation as a technology for food sterilization and processing. The application of plasma technology to food sterilization and processing is expected to produce safe and secure food products in the food industry and foster the development of new food items.
