Plasma Assisted Food Processing

From the CDC: Each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans (48 million people) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of food-borne diseases.

Studies have shown that plasma discharges can be used to decontaminate raw produce, dried nuts, meat, poultry, fish, granular foods (i.e. dried milk, herbs, and spices), processing equipment, and packaging materials.

  • Dry rapid process
  • No toxic residuals.
  • Low energy and without adverse effects
  • Can decontaminate solid foods
  • Can stop biofilm formation.
  • Advanced pasteurization methods.

The reason that so many researchers and industry professionals come to Advanced Plasma Solutions for power supplies is fairly straightforward: Not only do we provide some of the most efficient and reliable power supplies and electrodes, but we also work with our customers to get them the best results. You can review some characteristics of our basic Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) Power Supplies here. We can also provide plasma jets and other types of discharges with varying characteristics.

Plasma technology is emerging as the new standard in food safety technology:
