Research Progress on Inactivation of Common Microorganisms in Aquatic Products by Cold Plasma

Abstract:

Aquatic products are very susceptible to spoilage, which requires certain measures to inhibit spoilage and deterioration. As a new and efficient broad-spectrum cold sterilization technology, cold plasma (CP) can achieve uniform and stable discharge under atmospheric pressure, and has a good killing effect on the common pathogenic and spoilage bacteria in aquatic products, which can extend the shelf life of aquatic products. The generation modes, the mechanism of microorganism inactivation and the factors affecting the sterilization effect of CP were reviewed in this paper. Meanwhile, the killing effect of CP on different kinds of microorganisms and the effect on the quality of aquatic products were also discussed, aiming to provide the reference for the application of CP in the preservation of aquatic products.
