“…Atmospheric pressure Nonthermal Plasma (NTP) processing techniques have gained importance among researchers during the last decade, particularly for their applications in food (Surowsky, Schlüter, & Knorr, ). Due to their high reactivity and the self‐quenching characteristic, NTP reactive species have great potential to address issues related to food safety, nutritional quality, and environmental safety (Bourke, Ziuzina, Boehm, Cullen, & Keener, ; Misra, Schlüter, & Cullen, ; Pankaj & Keener, ). Apart from its bactericidal properties, NTP can also be used for the removal of pesticides residues (Misra, ; Misra et al., ), antibiotic residue in water (Magureanu, Mandache, & Parvulescu, ), to alter the functional properties of food (Jampala, Manolache, Gunasekaran, & Denes, ; Misra et al., ; Thirumdas, Trimukhe, Deshmukh, & Annapure, ) and packaging materials (Pankaj et al., ).…”
