“…In a recent study conducted by Pater et al. (2020), steeping water treated with low pressure glow plasma and low temperature in the air or under nitrogen had been observed to improve the malting process, resulting in good quality malt. Once the steeping process is complete, the grain should have attained high moisture levels with a high (%) chit count, which is a white colored visible protrusion of the growing cotyledon/rootlet from the embryo of the grain.…”

“…Recently, treatment with strong oxidants; Ozone (O 3 ) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) after 2 hr of first and second steeping were reported to activate hydrolytic enzymes to different levels by inducing the gene expression of abscisic acid (ABA) catabolism (ABA8'OH) and GA biosynthesis (GA20ox1) without contributing any unwanted residues in the malt (Ma et al, 2020). In a recent study conducted by Pater et al (2020), steeping water treated with low pressure glow plasma and low temperature in the air or under nitrogen had been observed to improve the malting process, resulting in good quality malt.

Malting is the process of preparing barley for brewing through partial germination followed by drying. This process softens the grain cell wall and stimulates the production of diastatic enzymes, which convert starch into malt extract. The suitability of a barley grain for malt production depends upon a large number of quality parameters that are crucial for the identification and release of high-quality malt varieties. Maintaining tight control of these quality attributes is essential to ensure high processing efficiency and final product quality in brewery and malt house. Therefore, we have summarized the basic malting process and various physiological and biochemical quality parameters that are desirable for better malt quality. This study may provide an understanding of the process, problems faced, and opportunities to maltsters and researchers to improve the malt efficiency by altering the malting process or malt varieties.

Water treated with low-temperature, low-pressure glow plasma (GP) in contact with air stimulates various microorganisms, the growth of various plants and provides healthy breeding of various animals. In this paper, we present water treated with GP under oxygen-free nitrogen. It is potentially suitable for breeding anaerobic microorganisms, and increasing the crops of plants utilizing atmospheric nitrogen. Deionized water saturated with oxygen-free nitrogen was treated for 5 to 90 min with low-temperature glow plasma (GP). That operation produced nitrogen in various exited states depending on the treatment time. These excited nitrogen molecules built aqueous clathrates around them. The number and structure of those clathrates depended on the time of the treatment with GP. In terms of mass, density, pH, conductivity, surface tension, Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS), Fourier Transformation Infrared (FTIR), Raman and Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectra as well as Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), the macrostructure of water saturated with nitrogen treated with GP strongly depended on the treatment time. Based on the entropy criterion, the macrostructure formed on 30 and 5 min treatment was the most and least organized, respectively.

Similarly, fermentative microorganisms are stimulated by LPGPA, providing quality improvement of brewery barley and malt [42]. Murawski et al [43] and Szymanowicz et al [44] demonstrated successful application of LPGPA in animal breeding.…”

Effects of a Plasma Water and Biostimulant on Lawn Functional Value

The research was conducted between 2014 and 2016 at the Agricultural Experimental Station of the University of Environmental and Life Sciences in Wrocław. In the experiment, Poa pratensis and Lolium perenne in pure stand and in mixtures were used as Factor A. Two substances that stimulate grass growth and development constituted Factor B. The first was a biostimulant produced from brown algae (Phaeophyceae), containing various essential chemical compounds including amino acids, vitamins, alginic acid, microelements, and other unexplored biologically active components. The other was water treated with low-pressure glow plasma (LPGP). The seeds were sown in well-mixed light, alluvial loamy sand soil. During three growing seasons, a 9-point scale was used to evaluate grass density, leaf fineness, susceptibility to disease, and lawn overwintering. The lawns were mown every 14 days at a height of 4 cm. The substances with a stimulating effect significantly affected lawn grass features, including turf density and overwintering. Additionally, the biostimulant and plasma water reduced the incidence of fungal diseases. Better transport of water in plants after its low-pressure glow plasma treatment may be due to the effect of its declustered structure, its higher oxygen concentration, and its better solubility of the biostimulant.
