In this study, a novel approach to determine heating patterns using chemical marker (M-2) yield and computer vision was developed for packaged foods after microwave sterilization. Due to various constraints of temperature measurement devices such as fiber-optic temperature sensors, thermocouples, and infrared sensors, there is a need to develop an accurate and rapid method to determine heating ...

It was found out that spices straight from the package are not sterile. The only way to receive sterile spices is to use radiation technology which means to irradiate spices with ionizing radiation. However, this method is quite expensive and raises great resistance of public. And this is the reason why we are interested in implementing plasma technology. The first step of the research was to c...

Abstract OBJECTIVE To determine whether a stainless steel implant sterilized with novel cold atmospheric plasma sterilization (CAPS) device adversely affects local tissues in rabbits and CAPS was as effective steam an autoclave to inactivate Pasteurella multocida . ANIMALS 31 healthy New Zealand White rabbits. PROCEDURES Steam-autoclaved implants inoculated P underwent second (AIA) or (AICAPS)....

Context:  The major motivation for the preparation of the plasma derived biological medicine was the treatment of casualties from the Second World War.  Due to the high expenses for preparation of plasma derived products, achievement of self-sufficiency in human plasma biotechnological industry is an important goal for developing countries.Evidence Acquisition:  The complexity of the bloo...

A major challenge in developing advanced thermal processess based on electromagnetic heating is to determine the location of cold spots in foods. A rapid and reliable method was developed in this study with the aim to effectively locate the cold spot in model food sterilized in microwave systems. The developed method involved application of chemical marker M-2 yield to a model food, mashed pota...

BACKGROUND Application of cold atmospheric pressure plasmas (CAPs) in or on the human body was termed 'plasma medicine'. So far, plasmas were utilized for sterilization of implants, other heat-sensitive products, or employed for chemical surface modifications. By now, CAPs are further used effectively for wound treatment. The present study analyses the effect of a plasma jet with air or nitroge...

In recent years, cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) technology has received substantial attention due to its valuable properties including operational simplicity, low running cost, and environmental friendliness. Several different gases (air, nitrogen, helium, argon) techniques (corona discharge, dielectric barrier jet) can be used generate at temperature. Plasma treatment is routinely in ...

Introduction: Hospital acquired infections are of a great concern, considering a large number of infections reported every year. Sterilization is an important step in healthcare industry that is attained by utilizing conventional sterilization approaches. It includes heat treatment, use of chemicals like ethylene oxide, hydrogen peroxide, and gamma radiation. These methods have drawbacks such a...
