Cold plasma is a new food processing technology that can effectively reduce pathogens on a variety of food products. After conducting a nationwide survey with consumers, it was found that the term 'Cold Plasma' was perceived negatively by the consumer.

Pasteurization is one of the most common food processing technologies used. It is typically used to process milk, but can also be used for many other foods including juices, eggs, cheese, butter and vinegar. This publication was created to provide simple, easy to understand science based information on what this technology is and how it can make foods safer. The goal is for the public to be more aware and accepting of various technologies that are used to make our food supply safe.

High pressure processing (HPP) is a technology in which foods are exposed to high pressure inside a chamber. The high pressure kills microorganisms and breaks down enzymes (molecules that speed up the rate of chemical reactions in food, like browning) without the use of extreme temperatures (Fellows 2009).

Microwaves are one of the most common food processing technologies used. Most consumers are familiar with using a microwave in their home kitchen, however, do not realized that some of the food that they purchase has been processed using microwave technology. This publication was created to provide simple, easy to understand science based information on what this technology is and how it can make foods safer. The goal is for the public to be more aware and accepting of various technologies that are used to make our food supply safe.

Chlorine dioxide is a new food processing technology used. This publication was created to provide simple, easy to understand science based information on what this technology is and how it can make foods safer. The goal is for the public to be more aware and accepting of various technologies that are used to make our food supply safe.

Food processing is essential to provide safe, high quality food for the public. This publication was created to provide simple, easy to understand science based information on food processing and how it can make foods safer. The goal is for the public to be more aware and accepting of food processing technologies that are used to make our food supply safe.

Food processing is essential to provide safe , high quality food for the public. This publication was created to provide simple, easy to understand science based information on how ozone gas is used to process foods and how it can make foods safer. The goal is for the public to be more aware and accepting of food processing technologies that are used to make our food supply safe.

The use of pulsed light is a new novel food processing technology developed to provide safe, high quality food for the public. This publication was created to provide simple, easy to understand science based information on food processing and how it can make foods safer. The goal is for the public to be more aware and accepting of food processing technologies that are used to make our food supply safe.
