Table 3.

Estimated model parameters of the Geeraerd et al. [25] model obtained following inactivation of the 1- and 7-day-old L. monocytogenes, S. Typhimurium, and dual-species model biofilms using the helium-operated DBD system. These model parameters have been discussed in detail in the studies of Govaert et al. [13,14].
