Breakthrough in agricultural science: Shikhadri Mahanta on how atmospheric cold plasma technology is transforming the food industry

The article from MSN discusses a significant advancement in agricultural science through the work of Shikhadri Mahanta, who is exploring the use of Atmospheric Cold Plasma (ACP) technology. This technology is revolutionizing the food industry by offering a non-thermal method to enhance food safety, extend shelf life, and improve the quality of agricultural products. ACP technology uses ionized gas at room temperature to inactivate pathogens, reduce microbial load, and modify the surface properties of food without affecting its nutritional value or sensory qualities. Mahanta's research focuses on how this technology can be applied to various food products to ensure they remain fresh longer, reduce food waste, and meet the increasing demand for safe, high-quality food. This innovation not only promises to transform food processing but also aligns with sustainable agricultural practices by minimizing the use of chemicals and energy-intensive processes.
