Abstract


Atmospheric pressure cold (APC) plasma can sterilize against almost all kinds of bacteria and spores because many ions and reactive species, such as oxygen atoms, electrons, UV and ozone, etc., are generated during APC plasma. So this method has been proven to be more effective in sterilization than other conventional methods such as drying, gamma ray irradiation, peracetic acid... In this work, we present the results on applying DBD (Dielectric Barrier Discharge) plasma source for fungal Aspergillus flavus spore extermination in livestock feed. Experimental results showed that DBD treatment during 100 s Aspergillusflavushas completely eliminated in the effective area.
