TREATMENT OF AGRICULTURAL, FOOD AND RELATED PRODUCTS FOR ELIMINATING CONTAMINANTS AND ENCHANCING SHELF-LIFE
The subject matter described herein relates to systems for treatment of a product for decontamination of the product. The product may include agricultural, food and related product. The system comprises a decontamination chamber (102, 102-1) having an inlet (120, 120-2) to receive the product; multiple first channels (143, 202, 302, 402, 602, 702) in the decontamination chamber (102), wherein the multiple first channels (143, 202, 302, 402, 602, 702) are distributed across the longitudinal span of the decontamination chamber (102, 102-1); a trioxygen generator (106) with a feedline (128) coupled to the multiple first channels (143, 202, 302, 402, 602, 702), wherein the trioxygen generator (106) is to provide trioxygen gas to the multiple first channels (143, 202, 302, 402, 602, 702) to disseminate trioxygen gas onto the product in the decontamination chamber (102, 102-1); and an outlet (145, 145-2) to output the trioxygen treated product.

Sterilization of plant material
Methods and apparatus for sterilizing plant material include disposing plant material in a sub-atmospheric pressure environment, dispersing a non-toxic, non-polymerizable gas into the sub-atmospheric pressure environment, applying an electric field to change the gas into cold plasma, and maintaining exposure of the plant material to the cold plasma until substantially sterilized plant material is obtained, wherein an amount of at least one active constituent in the plant material is substantially unchanged by the sterilizing. The plant material may be Cannabis.
