Food Science
Plasma cleaning is used innovatively in food science to improve safety and quality, and in the development of food technology. Surface chemistry modification is used in the development of food packaging, to reduce microbial load and reduce degradation over time. Microfluidic devices, made with plasma bonding, can be used as sensors to monitor food quality.
Unlike traditional cleaning methods that rely on chemicals and high temperatures, plasma cleaning is environmentally friendly. It produces minimal waste and uses less energy, making it a sustainable choice for the food industry. This aligns with the growing demand for eco-friendly food processing practices that reduce the carbon footprint of food production and packaging.
