The effects of packaging materials, package shape, and secondary packaging on the inactivation of indigenous mesophilic aerobic bacteria in Korean steamed rice cakes using in-package atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge cold plasma (ADCP) treatment were investigated. Inactivation of indigenous mesophilic aerobic bacteria by ADCP treatment (21 kV, 3 min) was significantly increased by 0.6 and 0.8 log CFU/g (p < 0.05) from 0.7 ± 0.1 and 0.5 ± 0.1 CFU/g, respectively, when polypropylene (PP) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were laminated with nylon, respectively. Secondary packaging lowered the inactivation level by 0.7–0.8 log CFU/g from 1.1 to 1.3 log CFU/g. In-package ADCP treatment did not alter the water vapor permeability, oxygen transmission rate, and tensile properties of PP, LDPE, nylon/PP, and nylon/LDPE. Thus, the results demonstrated that lamination of PP or LDPE with nylon and treatment before secondary packaging may be effective strategies for microbial inactivation by in-package ADCP treatment.
