“…These results suggest that PAW improved soluble protein in both plants, under an optimum concentration of nitrate. Sajib et al [ 64 ] and Kučerová et al [ 41 ] also reported the positive effect of using PAW to enhance the TSP in black gram ( Vigna mungo L.) and wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.), respectively.…”

“…These results are similar to Kučerová et al [ 41 ] who also reported the decrease of SOD activity in the above‐ground part of wheat plant. Sajib et al [ 64 ] reported the opposite: they showed that the SOD activity increased in black gram root and leaves watered with PAW. PAW is a complex and rich medium of active species, and every specific PAW prepared in a different plasma source contains mixtures of RONS of different concentrations, so it is difficult to know exactly which specific mixture species could affect these antioxidant enzymes.…”

The effects of plasma‐activated water (PAW) generated by nonthermal air plasmas of transient spark with water electrospray or atmospheric glow discharge were investigated on maize (Zea mays L. var Saccharata) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seedlings. PAW is characterized by measuring concentrations of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (H2O2, , ). After 4 weeks of plants growth, the effects of PAW are analyzed by measuring plant growth and physiological parameters: plant length and fresh weight, photosynthetic pigments concentration and photosynthesis rate, total soluble proteins, antioxidant enzyme activity, and DNA damage. The results suggest that PAW, depending on chemical composition, has the potential to improve the plant growth and influence the physiological parameters, while causing no harmful DNA damage.

“…The plasma‐generated particles interact with water molecules and trigger several chemical reactions, which produce a unique mixture of biochemical reactive chemistries termed as PAW. In recent years, PAW has also been confirmed to possess outstanding biological activity in biomedical and agricultural sectors (Kaushik et al., 2018; Sajib et al., 2020). During PAW generation, the energetic particles in the plasma phase are trapped in the aqueous liquids, and a series of reactions at the gas–liquid interface is initiated, leading to various primary and secondary reactive species dissolving in the liquid (Gorbanev & Bogaerts, 2018; Khlyustova, Labay, Machala, Ginebra, & Canal, 2019).…”

Novel nonthermal inactivation technologies have been increasingly popular over the traditional thermal food processing methods due to their capacity in maintaining microbial safety and other quality parameters. Plasma-activated water (PAW) is a cutting-edge technology developed around a decade ago, and it has attracted considerable attention as a potential washing disinfectant. This review aims to offer an overview of the fundamentals and potential applications of PAW in the agri-food sector. A detailed description of the interactions between plasma and water can help to have a better understanding of PAW, hence the physicochemical properties of PAW are discussed. Further, this review elucidates the complex inactivation mechanisms of PAW, including oxidative stress and physical effect. In particular, the influencing factors on inactivation efficacy of PAW, including processing factors, characteristics of microorganisms, and background environment of water are extensively described. Finally, the potential applications of PAW in the food industry, such as surface decontamination for various food products, including fruits and vegetables, meat and seafood, and also the treatment on quality parameters are presented. Apart from decontamination, the applications of PAW for seed germination and plant growth, as well as meat curing are also summarized. In the end, the challenges and limitations of PAW for scale-up implementation, and future research efforts are also discussed. This review demonstrates that PAW has the potential to be successfully used in the food industry.

In this study, two different cold atmospheric‐pressure plasmas are used for the production of plasma‐activated water (PAW). To evaluate the effectiveness of PAW as a possible means to control plant diseases, grapevines in an open field and a greenhouse are treated, evaluating qualitative and quantitative yield parameters, phytoplasma presence, and gene expression. The results show the capability of PAW to enhance plant defense mechanisms and, as demonstrated in the field trials, confirm its ability to improve the health status of the treated plants.
