Abstract Cold plasma treatment is an innovative technology in the food processing and preservation sectors. It primarily employed to deactivate microorganisms enzymes without heat chemical additives; hence, it often termed a “clean green” technology. However, quality safety challenges may arise during cold due potential interactions between reactive species components. This review aims consolidate discuss data on impact of constituents physical functional properties major products, including dairy, meat, nuts, fruits, vegetables, grains. We emphasize how induces modification key components, such as water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, polyphenols, volatile organic compounds. Additionally, we changes color, pH, organoleptic induced by their correlation with modification. Current studies demonstrate that oxygen nitrogen oxidize bioactive compounds upon direct contact matrix. Reductions nutrients compounds, polyunsaturated fatty acids, sugars, have been observed dairy beverages following treatment. Furthermore, structural alterations generation non‐volatile oxidation products were observed, impacting flavor, texture products. effects dry foods, seeds are comparatively less pronounced. Overall, this highlights drawbacks, challenges, opportunities associated processing.

This study investigated the effects of non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) treatment on growth, chemical composition, and biological activity geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L'Herit) leaves. NTAP was applied at a frequency 13.56 MHz, exposure time 15 s, discharge temperature 25 °C, power levels (T1 = 50, T2 80, T3 120 W). Results demonstrated significant increases (P < 0.05) in fresh dry biomass all compared to control, with highest improvements seen T3. Mineral content (K, P, Ca, Fe, Mg, Zn, N) significantly elevated, particularly Chlorophyll (a + b carotenoids) also showed marked across treatments, correlating enhanced photosynthetic rates. Improved photosynthesis led accumulation primary metabolites, such as amino acids, organic fatty acids. mainly T3, increased essential non-essential oxalic, isobutyric, fumaric They unsaturated oleic acid (C18:1), saturated including myristic (C14:0) stearic (C18:0).

Abstract Plasma seed treatment has proven to be a useful technique for improving germination, growth dynamics, as well plant resistance. In this paper, we studied the efficacy of soybean seeds using various sources cold atmospheric pressure plasma generated in air. We compared three types treatments: direct with by diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD), multi-hollow dielectric discharge, and indirect gaseous products an air jet. The composition each was analysed optical emission spectroscopy Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). Parameters treatments have been optimized improve germination. Plasma-treated were examined means water contact angle, free energy imbibition measurements, attenuated total reflectance FTIR (ATR-FTIR), x-ray photoelectron (XPS) scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses. Surface analysis ATR-FTIR XPS showed changes chemical bonds on plasma-treated seeds, which led increase wettability imbibition. SEM confirmed that is non-invasive does not cause morphology. Among sources, DCSBD proved best suited terms germination improvement time efficiency.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects pre-sowing seed treatment with cold plasma (CP) and an electromagnetic field (EMF) on agricultural performance two cultivars common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench)—‘VB Vokiai’ ‘VB Nojai’. For this, CP EMF germination, plant growth in field, photosynthetic efficiency, biomass production, yield, amount secondary metabolites minerals harvested seeds were estimated. Although percentage seedlings that emerged under conditions decreased by 11–20%, treatments strongly improved yield. Irrespective differences dynamics changes activity between cultivars, weight collected per for both significantly higher (up 70–97%) compared control. biochemical composition (Fe, Zn, quercetin content) also altered treatments. Thus, substantially stimulated increased yield nutritional quality. results obtained support idea physical stressors has great potential use agriculture.
