Abstract: Exemplary apparatuses and methods of killing or deactivating bacteria are disclosed herein. An exemplary apparatus for killing or deactivating bacteria includes a plasma vapor chamber. The plasma vapor chamber has a vapor inlet for allowing a vapor into the chamber, a high voltage electrode, one or more grounding electrodes. The one or more grounding electrodes at least partially surrounding the plasma vapor chamber. The plasma vapor chamber includes an outlet for allowing fluid to flow out of the chamber. When the chamber is filled with vapor for a period of time sufficient to saturate the chamber with vapor, the high voltage electrode is energized to generate plasma throughout the chamber.

Abstract: A treated crop plant or plant food product with decreased bacterial viability relative to an untreated crop plant or plant food product. The treated crop plant or plant food product has at least a 1-log reduction in bacterial viability relative to the untreated crop plant or plant food product. Methods and apparatuses of producing the treated crop plant or plant food product are also provided.
