“…Physico-chemical techniques which have demonstrated treatment efficacy include adsorption [14], membrane technology [15], ozone, UV photolysis, ozone/ultraviolet (UV) photolysis [16,17], and ultrasonication [18]. Misra [19] reviewed the potential opportunities and challenges associated with various advanced oxidation processes for pesticide dissipation.…”

“…This approach has demonstrated significant antimicrobial effects for biological applications [24][25][26]. Process efficacy of cold plasma for microbial inactivation, packaging modification, pesticide dissipation and wastewater treatment has been recently reviewed [19,[27][28][29][30]. As a novel treatment technology, plasma oxidation offers several advantages in the production of oxidising species such as radicals (e.g., H, O, OH • , etc.…”

a b s t r a c tA high voltage dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor using atmospheric air as the inducer gas was studied for the degradation of pesticides (dichlorvos, malathion, endosulfan) in water. The degradation kinetics of the pesticides were studied using GC-MS as a function of plasma control parameters. Electrical characterisation of the plasma revealed that the plasma discharge consisted of filamentary streamers. Excited nitrogen, reactive oxygen species and OH radicals generated in the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor were identified using optical emission spectroscopy. Ozone, used as an indicator for metastable oxygen species, was quantified within the reactor at concentrations of 1600, 2200, 2800 ppm after 8 min of plasma treatment for applied voltages of 60, 70, and 80 kV respectively. The degradation efficacy of pesticides after 80 kV and 8 min of plasma treatment were found to be 78.98 ± 0.81% for dichlorvos, 69.62 ± 0.14% for malathion and 57.71 ± 0.58% for endosulfan. Degradation was found to follow first order kinetics. GC-MS analyses showed that the degraded compounds and intermediates formed were less toxic than the parent pesticide. A proposed mechanism of degradation of these pesticides is suggested.

“…Nonthermal techniques can be combined [10,13,[43][44][45][46] or be used with antimicrobial agents [47][48][49] or in combination with mild heating [1,22,50]. It is necessary to follow critical control processes of nonthermal processing [51][52][53] in order to have no recovery or revitalization of microorganisms after processing [54,55].…”

is review gives an overview of the impact of novel nonthermal food technologies on food safety, on quality, and on the environment. It con rms that research in this eld is mainly focused on analyzing microbial and/or chemical aspects of food safety. However, recent research shows that in spite of various food safety bene ts, some negative (quality oriented) features occur. Finally, this paper shows the necessity of analyzing the environmental dimension of using these technologies.

“…Use of pesticides in agriculture practices has obviously benefited the worldwide crop yield patterns, while at the same time, the environmental and human health problems concerning the application of pesticides cannot be ignored at such a global scale (Misra et al, 2014b). These adverse effects will significantly increase in near future with the rise in demand for food of the growing population (Misra, 2015). The toxic and carcinogenicity of pesticides are well established together with the chronic diseases in humans caused by pesticide residues in food and water which has been recently reviewed particularly by Mostafalou & Abdollahi (2013).…”

“…In recent years, nonthermal technologies such as high pressure, pulsed electric field, ultrasound, pulsed light and ozone have been immensely researched in food science to reduce the undesirable effects related to the heat treatments to food matrices and improve food quality, flavour and texture (Kingsley et al, 2015;Misra, 2015;Wang et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2016). Among new methods for improving microbial and chemical safety of fresh produce, NTP which is largely applied for material processing at industrial level is a relatively novel technology for the decontamination of fresh foods and food processing surfaces.…”

Summary Nonthermal plasma (NTP) is defined in terms of partly ionised gas which overall temperature is quite low because the stored energy is mostly in free electrons. Applications of NTP have been expanded to new areas of food applications such as the microbial inactivation and also the elimination of pesticide and toxic chemical residues in food such as fruits and vegetables while nutritional content and key characteristics are still preserved. Plasma treatment has successfully decreased the concentrations of pesticides by about 45‐71%. In this article, NTP technologies as well as investigations about applying of NTP for removing pesticide residues and improving microbial safety in fresh produce are described. Potential applications of NTP in food processing together with some of their challenges and limitations are also discussed.
