Microbial Decontamination of Spices Using Cold Plasma
Most of spices are produced using traditional systems. In unsanitary conditions, spices can contain large numbers of pathogenic microbes such as bacteria, molds and yeasts. Some microorganisms are known as human pathogens, which need disinfection mechanisms that minimize their potential harms to active substances in spices. Use of contaminated spices in foods can significantly decrease the shel...
متن کاملRadiation decontamination of herbs and spices
Despite the great advances observed in modern synthesis-based pharmacy, medicinal plants still make an important contribution to health care. There has been a growing interest in the alternative therapies in recent years, especially those from plants. The World Health Organization estimates that about 65–80% of the world’s population living in developing countries depends essentially on medicin...
متن کاملLow temperature atmospheric plasma for microbial decontamination
Low temperature Plasma (LTP) is a high-energy gas that is created when an electrical current is passed through a gas. Until recently, plasmas could only be created at relatively high temperatures in a vacuum and the use of plasma on sensitive materials such as human tissue, food products, medical devices and the packaging industry, was therefore impractical. However, over the last few years tec...
متن کاملDecontamination of spices by using a pulsed light treatment
Spices and aromatic herbs are widely used in different food branches and recently, industrialists from the agro-food field have started paying attention to the microbiological quality of these products. Microbial contaminants susceptible to be present at the surface of spices can potentially induce various pathologies in humans. The most frequent are bacterial or viral gastroenteritis. Today, t...
متن کاملMycotoxin Decontamination of Food: Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma versus “Classic” Decontamination
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by several filamentous fungi, which frequently contaminate our food, and can result in human diseases affecting vital systems such as the nervous and immune systems. They can also trigger various forms of cancer. Intensive food production is contributing to incorrect handling, transport and storage of the food, resulting in increased levels of mycot...
