Microbial inactivation efficiency of in-package cold plasma (CP) treatment against indigenous aerobic mesophilic bacteria at different positions in the container.

Sample Position (Numbers Designated in Figure 2)	Microbial Reduction (log CFU/g)
1	1.0 ± 0.3 a
2	0.9 ± 0.3 a
3	0.9 ± 0.1 a
4	1.0 ± 0.3 a
5	0.8 ± 0.1 a
6	0.9 ± 0.0 a
7	0.9 ± 0.1 a
8	1.0 ± 0.4 a

Results are expressed as means ± standard deviations (n = 6). Different lowercase letters indicate a significant difference based on Tukey’s test (p < 0.05).
