Investigation of the effect of non-thermal plasma on increasing the shelf life of fresh-cut pears

Purpose: Fresh-cut fruits are one of the most popular products. Pear is a highly putrefying fruit that is susceptible to mechanical damage, decay and physiological disorders during storage. Reducing post­ harvest losses of agricultural products with a view to increasing food security and preventing...
