Description:
The final deliverable is a cold plasma prototype that has the capability to reduce the microbial load on fresh produce by several logs. The technology will be further evaluated for safety, resource use, and resiliency to determine its capability to contribute to gap closure and risk mitigation by providing a safe, low resource use, waterless solution to reduce the microbial load of fresh produce grown in a bioregenerative system in space flight.
