“…Our previous experiment demonstrated that application of low-temperature plasma produced by air ionization could preserve navel oranges by effectively killing pathogenic fungal spores and reducing fruit rot [ 23 ]. In this study, after application of low-temperature plasma (oxygen ionization) for 4, 10, and 20 min, the blue spores were observed, but control spores remained white ( Figure 4 ), which indicated that the treatment killed the pathogenic spores.…”

Gannan navel orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck cv. Newhall) is an economically important fruit, but postharvest loss occurs easily during storage. In this study, the effects of different temperatures, light illuminations, and low-temperature plasma treatments on the water loss and quality of the Gannan navel orange were investigated. The fruit began to rot after 90 d of storage at 5 °C and 20–45 d at 26 °C. Navel oranges stored at 26 °C had 7.2-fold and 3.1-fold higher rates of water loss at the early and late storage stages, respectively, as compared with those stored at 5 °C. Storage at 5 °C decreased the contents of total soluble solids at the early storage stage and the contents of titratable acids at the late storage stage, whereas storage at 26 °C decreased the contents of total soluble solids at the late storage stage and the contents of titratable acids at the early storage stage, respectively. Application of low-temperature plasma produced by air ionization for 6 min, or continuous blue or red light illumination significantly inhibited water loss within 7 and 21 d of storage at 22 °C, respectively, but exhibited no significant effect on fruit quality. Furthermore, the low-temperature plasma treatment protected against fruit rot. Thus, treatment with low-temperature plasma followed by storage at a low temperature under continuous red or blue light illumination was of potential value as a green technology for preserving Gannan navel orange during storage.

“…Low-temperature plasma treatment was conducted by our previously described method [ 23 ] using a high-frequency power supply (CTP-2000K) to generate plasma. The low-temperature plasma generator was equipped with an axial flow discharge component with a total length of 0.20 m, a sealed upper end, and a side end with an air inlet.…”
