“…After 20 days of sowing, the longest plant height was 23 cm for the exposed seed, while the control was 19 cm. e same author found similar results in the paper [46], where the plant length and dry weight increased for all used exposition times and atmospheres (air and air/O 2 ). Maximum increase of plant length was achieved by 11% for 6 or 9 min exposures.…”

“…However, the further increments of NTP treatment time caused the decrease of the germination rate. Similarly, Roy et al [46] reported that germination rate, germination index, and vigor index increased for all used exposition times and atmospheres, with optimal exposure time of 6-9 min.…”

“…On the other side, Roy et al [48] suggested that, beside the increase of germination potential, vigor index, and noteworthy improvement in photosynthetic pigment, the significant increase in the total number of grains per spike, thousand-grain weight, and yield of wheat by 5% also occurred. Moreover, the same authors [46] reported a yield increase by ∼20%.…”

“…Further, the grain coat becomes eroded and chapped after NTP. Similarly, Roy et al [46] found that NTP treatment caused noticeable morphological changes on seed surface and consequently slightly increased absorption of water. Also, Zahoranová et al [37] showed that wheat grains treated with NTP took more water than the untreated ones, increasing exposure dose of plasma also increased the water uptake.…”

This paper presents the review of effects of nonthermal plasma (NTP) treatment on both the wheat grains and flour with potential to be applied in practice. The NTP can be used in wheat grain surface disinfection, grain germination and vitality improving, and wheat flour modification and disinfection. NTP causes effective decontamination from bacteria and fungi together with insect pests and causes minimal damage to wheat grains; it inactivates enzymes and enhances the grain shelf life; it enhances the germination and initial state of growth resulting in the increase of final yield. Moreover, the production of qualitatively better dough is also mentioned.

“…Plasma can generate electron, ions, radicals, reactive species and light radiation including UV 27 . Part or a combination of these components have been utilised for the treatment of the seeds to induce biological responses such as germination 26,28,29 , seedling growth 22,24,30 , stress tolerance 31 and improvement in yield 32 . They have been tested on seeds of several species such as tomato 33 , wheat 28 , sunflower 22 and quinoa 23 .…”

Cold plasma processing has been marched toward becoming one of the proven techno alternatives to thermal food preservation. It was found effective to cause positive alterations in the surface properties of food by etching. The effect of low-pressure cold plasma on the percent moisture absorption of six chickpea cultivars, namely, Kripa, Virat, Vishal, Vijay, Digvijay, and Rajas, was studied. For plasma treatment, low-pressure glow discharge plasma with bell-jar symmetry was employed. The samples were treated with plasma at 40, 50, and 60 W each for 10, 15, and 20 min. These were soaked in distilled water and 1% sodium bicarbonate solution at room temperature for 8 h. The percent moisture absorption changed significantly (p < 0.05) with an increase in plasma power and treatment time. Kripa had the highest percent moisture absorption (102.07 ± 0.28) and (103.31 ± 0.68) at 60 W 20-min treatment while Rajas had the lowest percent moisture absorption (78.57 ± 0.81) and (79.44 ± 0.26) at 40 W and 10-min treatment in distilled water and 1% sodium bicarbonate solution soaking, respectively. The samples treated for 20 min with power 60 W showed higher moisture absorption for all the chickpea cultivars. The percent moisture absorption in control samples soaked in 1% sodium bicarbonate solution was higher than in distilled water. The same pattern did not repeat in the plasma-treated samples. The findings in this research will be useful for designing the soaking process for different cultivars of plasma-treated legumes.
