Depending on the mechanisms involved in non-thermal technologies (such as ozonization, irradiation, ultrasound processing, plasma processing, and advanced oxidative processes), interaction with food molecules differs, which might lead to desirable reactions. Non-Thermal Technologies for the Food Industry: Advances and Regulations explores the possibility of using non-thermal technologies for various purposes such as shelf-life extension, reduced energy consumption, adhesion, and safety improvement. Further, it reviews the present status of these technologl³Z
