- How is chlorine dioxide gas used to process foods?Arnold, Nicole; Yang, Lily; Boyer, Renee R. (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2019)How chlorine dioxide gas is used to process foods.
- How is Cold Plasma Used to Process Food?Arnold, Nicole; Yang, Lily; Boyer, Renee R. (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2019-04-24)Discusses the use of cold plasma (partially ionized gas) in processing foods.
- How is cold plasma used to process food?Arnold, Nicole; Yang, Lily; Boyer, Renee R. (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2020-07-05)Cold plasma, or CP, is a food processing method in which plasma, a reactive state ofg as, is used to kill bacteria (pathogens) on foods. It has the potential to be used to process fruits, vegetables, meats, poultry, and nuts.The term “cold” is used because this process does not require heat
- How is High Pressure Used to Process Foods?Arnold, Nicole; Yang, Lily; Boyer, Renee R.; Saunders, Thomas (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2019-09-10)Discusses the use of high pressure processing to kill microbes.
- How is microwave technology used to process foods?Arnold, Nicole; Yang, Lily; Boyer, Renee R.; Saunders, Tommy (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2019)Microwave technology and how it is used at home and commercially.
- How Is Ozone Gas Used To Process Foods?Yang, Lily; Boyer, Renee R.; Arnold, Nicole (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2020)Ozone is a colorless gas commonly known as the thick layer covering Earth and protecting us from the sun’s rays. It is used to kill bacteria in various types of food (e.g., fruits, vegetables, spices, meats, seafood);sanitize food equipment, food packaging, and contact surfaces; to reduce undesirable odors; and to extend a food’s shelf life. Ozone can be applied either as a gas or dissolved in water as an aqueous treatment.
- How Is Pasteurization Used to Process Food?Arnold, Nicole; Yang, Lily; Boyer, Renee R.; Saunders, Thomas (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2019-07-22)Discusses pasteurization of foods to kill harmful bacteria which can increase safety and shelf life.
- How Is Pulsed-Light Used To Process Foods?Arnold, Nicole; Yang, Lily; Boyer, Renee R. (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2020)Pulsed light (PL) is a food processing technology in which intense, short-duration pulses of white light are used to kill bacteria on food, food contact surfaces, and packaging. The term “pulsed light” is short for and synonymous with “high-intensity broad-spectrum pulsed light,” “pulsed UV light,” and “pulsed white light.” This technology is often used in the cosmetics industry also.
- Why are Foods Processed?Arnold, Nicole; Yang, Lily; Boyer, Renee R. (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2019)Foods are processed in order to extend shelf life, enhance flavor, increase safety, and improve nutrient content.
