Inactivation of Typhimurium by Non-Thermal Plasma Bubbles: Exploring the Key Reactive Species and the Influence of Organic Matter.

The key reactive species generated by non-thermal plasma bubbles for the inactivation of Typhimurium and the effects of organic matter on the inactivation efficacy were investigated. Plasma, which is primarily composed of ozone (O), was generated by dielectric barrier discharge and injected into a solution (400 mL) as a bubble. The surviving population of .

Synergistic bactericidal effect of clove oil and encapsulated atmospheric pressure plasma against Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus and its mechanism of action.

We investigated the bactericidal effect of clove oil and encapsulated atmospheric pressure plasma (EAP), individually or in combination, against Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus. The bactericidal effect of the combined treatment was also investigated in inoculated beef jerky. For both pathogens, clove oil and EAP single treatments resulted in less than 3.
