“…After less than 15 min, only modest effects of plasma on blueberry quality were observed. However, 20 min treatment resulted in severe oxidative damage to the peels [ 115 ]. Plasma treatment did not significantly change the taste, aroma, color, and texture of kumquat [ 116 ] or the color and hardness of paprika during storage [ 117 ].…”

The kingdom of Fungi is rich in species that live in various environments and exhibit different lifestyles. Many are beneficial and indispensable for the environment and industries, but some can threaten plants, animals, and humans as pathogens. Various strategies have been applied to eliminate fungal pathogens by relying on chemical and nonchemical antifungal agents and tools. Nonthermal plasma (NTP) is a potential tool to inactivate pathogenic and food-contaminating fungi and genetically improve fungal strains used in industry as enzyme and metabolite producers. The NTP mode of action is due to many highly reactive species and their interactions with biological molecules. The interaction of the NTP with living cells is believed to be synergistic yet not well understood. This review aims to summarize the current NTP designs, applications, and challenges that involve fungi, as well as provide brief descriptions of underlying mechanisms employed by fungi in interactions with the NTP components

The application of DCSBD (Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge) plasma is referred to as the surface modification/activation of materials. The exposure of material surfaces to DCSBD plasma is initiated by changes in their chemical composition, surface wettability and roughness. The given study presents the mentioned plasma application in the context of the modification of the material viscoelastic properties, namely the PVC polymer film. The measurement of viscoelastic properties changes of PVC was primarily examined by a sensitive thermal method of dynamic-mechanical analysis. This analysis allows identifying changes in the glass transition temperature of PVC, before and after DCSBD plasma application, Tangens Delta, supported by glass transition temperatures of Elastic and Loss modulus. The results of the present study prove that DCSBD plasma applied on both sides to PVC surfaces causes changes in its viscoelastic properties. In addition, these changes are presented depending on the variability of the material position, with respect to the winding of the electrodes in the ceramic dielectric generating the DCSBD plasma during modification. The variability of the PVC position holds an important role, as it determines the proportion of filamentous and diffuse components of the plasma that will interact with the material surface during modification. The application of DCSBD plasma must, therefore, be considered a complex modification of the material, and as a result, non-surface changes must also be considered.

“…According to the previous studies, H 2 O 2 is a kind of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by stress response in the cells of fruit and vegetable when meet injure, whereas MDA is the main by-product of cell membrane lipid peroxidation in fruits ( 50 ). Thus, the H 2 O 2 and MDA content can reflect the cell membrane permeability, degree of oxidative damage, and fruit aging.…”

Winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao) is a very popular horticultural fruit worldwide, which contains a high number of bioactive compounds. Nevertheless, jujube is perishable by microbial contamination and has a short shelf life under non-controlled conditions. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) presents a great potential for food sterilization, maintain postharvest quality, and prolonged storage time. Herein, this study investigated the potential effect of CAP with different exposure times (0, 5, 10, and 20 min) on the physicochemical and biochemical changes in jujube during 15-day storage at 4°C and 90% relative humidity (RH). The results showed that CAP treatment could obviously delay ripening, but displayed no effects on the speed of weight loss and moisture content. Meanwhile, the total native aerobic bacterial count in each jujube group was restrained during whole storage. However, CAP treatment showed a time-dependent manner to improve gene expression (PAL, 4CL, DFR, ANS, LAR, and ANR) related to phenolic biosynthesis. As compared to other groups, 20-min CAP treatment can keep or increase total phenolic content (TPC), maintain antioxidant activity, and reduce oxidative damage. Furthermore, the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in jujube during middle storage were visibly reduced by 20-min CAP treatment. All in all, our findings concluded that appropriate CAP exposure time can be a promising candidate for the postharvest preservation of jujube.
