| Sumario: | In the present work the microbial decontamination of some medicinal plants by plasma treatment
using oxygen gas or a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide was investigated. The efficiency of
the decontamination process was analyzed by the count of heterotropic microorganisms and pathogenic
research. The results showed a reduction in the microorganism number such as 3 and 4 logarithmic cycles
for ginkgo and artichoke, while it was not efficient for samples containing hard and thick cells, and mucilage,
such as guarana and chamomile. |
