4. Conclusions
Findings of the present study suggest that the microbial safety of
raw pork butt and beef loin can be enhanced using the newly
developed flexible thin-layer DBDeplasma system. Out of the
tested conditions in this study, DBD-plasma treatment for 10 min
might be the optimum treatment because under this treatment
condition, the bactericidal effect on L. monocytogenes, E. coli
O157:H7, and S. Typhimurium was the highest, and the physicochemical
and sensory attributes of the meat samples were similar
