“…Zhou et al [ 7 ] found that the microbial growth rate on the surface of cantaloupe was limited by ACP treatment. Similar results were found in studies of blueberries [ 8 ], red currants [ 9 ], strawberries [ 10 ], apples [ 11 ], and mulberry [ 12 ]. At present, most of the studies mainly focus on the relationship between the bacteriostatic effect and the physiological quality of postharvest fruits and vegetables treated with ACP, and there are few studies related to the effect of ACP treatment on postharvest tomatoes.…”

Atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) is a potential green preservation technology, but its preservation mechanism is still unclear, and the effects of different plasma intensities on postharvest tomatoes are little studied. In this study, the effects of different ACP treatments (0 kV, 40 kV, 60 kV, and 80 kV) on the sensory quality, physiological indexes, key enzyme activities, and gene expression related to the chlorophyll metabolism of postharvest tomatoes were investigated during the storage time. The results showed that compared with the control group, the tomatoes in the plasma treatment group had a higher hardness and total soluble solid (TSS) and titratable acid (TA) contents, a lower respiratory intensity and weight loss rate, a higher brightness, and a lower red transformation rate, especially in the 60 kV treatment group. In addition, chlorophyll degradation, carotenoid accumulation, and chlorophyllase and pheophorbide a mono-oxygenase (PAO) enzyme activities in the postharvest tomatoes were inhibited in the 60 kV treatment group, and the expressions of three key genes related to chlorophyll metabolism, chlorophyll (CLH1), pheophytinase (PPH), and red chlorophyll catabolic reductase (RCCR) were down-regulated. The results of the correlation analysis also confirmed that the enzyme activity and gene expression of the chlorophyll metabolism were regulated by the ACP treatment, aiming to maintain the greenness of postharvest tomatoes.

“…Several authors [88,[91][92][93][94] have reported the efficacy of CAP processing in microbial control of different fresh fruit and vegetables and the absence of detrimental effects on physicochemical and sensory properties. Recent developments of this technique include the application of CAP within packaging to extend the shelf life of fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, and there is great interest in its commercial applications due to its lack of toxicity and minimal production of residues [95,96].…”

Citrus spp. are spread mainly in the Mediterranean basin and represent the largest fruit source for human consumption. Postharvest losses, mainly due to diseases and metabolic disorders of fruits, can cause severe wastage, reaching 30 to 50% of the total production. Preserving quality and extending shelf life are essential objectives for postharvest technological innovation, determined by the proper handling, treatment, storage and transport of harvested produce. Moreover, the application of novel sustainable strategies is critical for the reduction of synthetic fungicide residues on fruit surfaces and the impact on the environment caused by waste disposal of fungicides. In this article, the current knowledge about the safest and more sustainable strategies, as well as advanced postharvest handling and storage technologies, will be critically reviewed.

“…Bulbul et al studied the effect of cold plasma on the properties of xanthan gum (XG) at different power and treatment times [29]. Limnaios et al evaluated diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge cold atmospheric pressure plasma (DCSBD CAPP) treatment as a potential decontamination technique for red currants and investigated its effects on microbial load and quality [30]. Hu et al demonstrated that atmospheric cold plasma treatment is a promising postharvest strategy to control the natural decay and meanwhile maintain the fruit quality during 10-d storage at room temperature [31].…”

DMA Analysis of Plasma Modified PVC Films and the Nature of Initiated Surface Changes

et al. 2022

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.
