Plasma-Activated Water Affects the Antioxidant Contents in Water Spinach

Applied Sciences, 2023
Several studies suggested that plasma-activated water (PAW) increases crop yields and confronts drought. This study determined the total phenolic (TP) and total flavonoid (TF) contents of water spinach to elucidate whether PAW induced changes in the ...

Potassium iodide enhances the antimicrobial activity of plasma-activated water. [PDF]

Biofilm
Plasma-activated water (PAW) is a promising disinfection strategy that generates a complex mixture of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitrate (NO3−), and transient oxidants, in an acidic aqueous environment. These reactive species contribute to both immediate and extended antimicrobial activity.

Plasma activated water triggers plant defence responses [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractNowadays, one of the main challenges is moving towards an eco-sustainable agriculture, able to preserve the food production through a reduced use of pesticides. Current global food sustenance by intensive agriculture is mainly based on economic crop monocultures and drastically reduces the biodiversity, increasing the yield losses due to the ...

Effects of low temperature plasmas and plasma activated waters on Arabidopsis thaliana germination and growth. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Two plasma devices at atmospheric pressure (air dielectric barrier discharge and helium plasma jet) have been used to study the early germination of Arabidopsis thaliana seeds during the first days. Then, plasma activated waters are used during the later

Cold plasma technologies: Their effect on starch properties and industrial scale-up for starch modification

Current Research in Food Science, 2022
Native starches have limited applications in the food industry due to their unreactive and insoluble nature. Cold plasma technology, including plasma-activated water (PAW), has been explored to modify starches to enhance their functional, thermal ...
