Microbial Inactivation Property of Pulsed Corona Discharge Plasma and Its Effect on Chilled Pork Preservation

Although plasma, especially atmospheric plasma generated by corona discharge, has been proven to be effective in sterilization and food preservation, its disinfection mechanism on chilled pork is poorly understood. In this research, the bactericidal and preservation effect of corona discharge plasma (CDP) was investigated. The maximum bactericidal effect was found after 20 kV 4 kHz CDP treatment, with 2.77 log (colony-forming unit [CFU]/g), 2.41 log (CFU/g), and 1.36 log (CFU/g) reduction for Pantoea agglomerans, Serratia liquefaciens, and Kurthia zopfii, respectively, after 10 min of exposure. The efficiency of microbial inactivation was attributed to the increase of ozone, hydrogen peroxide and morphological changes. It was observed that the microbial level and total volatile binding nitrogen value of CDP-treated chilled pork samples were suppressed during storage, whereas the increase of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value and the changes of color were still worthy of attention. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of pulsed CDP on the inactivation of spoilage microorganism inoculated on the surface of fresh pork. The prospect of this technology in meat preservation industry was also investigated.
