“…When this streamer discharge is produced inside the water along with the reactive species, it produces shock waves, UV radiation, and bubbling (Locke, Sato, Sunka, Hoffmann, & Chang, 2006). The in-water production of pulsed-corona streamer discharge ( Figure 3E) has better reactive species diffusion and energy efficiency (Banaschik et al, 2015). The targeted application of corona discharge creates an ion wind that facilitates mixing of liquid, subsequently increasing the diffusion of reactive species and bactericidal property of PAW over DBD (Julák, Hujacová, Scholtz, Khun, & Holada, 2018).…”

Nonthermal processing methods are often preferred over conventional food processing methods to ensure nutritional quality. Nonthermal plasma (NTP) is a new field of nonthermal processing technology and seeing increased interest for application in food preservation. In food applications of NTP, liquid interactions are the most prevalent. The NTP reactivity and product storability are altered during this interaction. The water activated by NTP (plasma‐activated water [PAW]) has gained considerable attention during recent years as a potential disinfectant in fruits and vegetable washing. However, detailed understanding of the interactions of NTP reactive species with food nutritional components in the presence of water and their stability in food is required to be explored to establish the potential of this emerging technology. Hence, the main objective of this review is to give a complete overview of existing NTP–liquid interactions. Further, their microbial inactivation mechanisms and the effects on food quality are discussed in detail. Most of the research findings have suggested the successful application of NTP and PAW for microbial inactivation and food preservation. Still, there are some research gaps identified and a complete analysis of the stability of plasma reactive species in food is still missing. By addressing these issues, along with the available research output in this field, it is possible that NTP can be successfully used as a food decontamination method in the near future.

“…Plasma technology is a promising tool to degrade such pollutants in effluents of wastewater treatment plants . Plasma discharges were shown to effectively eliminate phenols, anilines, and naphthols, halogenated substances, pesticides, cyanides and organic micropollutants, antibiotics, and other pharmaceutical compounds including drugs . In combination with an acidification of the water, spreading of pathogenic and drug‐resistant bacteria through waste water can be combated via generation of plasma‐derived reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species .…”

Cold physical plasmas ignited a technological spark in industry, biotechnology, and medicine. Especially the field of hygiene benefited of the plasma's exceptional activity against pathogenic microorganisms. Together with plasma-based surface functionalization, these qualities are highly relevant in a variety of processes in health care, such as the decontamination or sterilization of medical devices, food, packaging materials, waste water, or indoor air. In medicine, plasma has proven to show promising antiseptic results on skin and mucosal membranes in infection-related diseases in dermatology and dentistry. This comprehensive review will discuss the current applications of cold plasma in the fields of hygiene, and will provide a promising outlook on many applications yet to come.

“…According to previous studies, active species of NTP such as Oxidative processes Affect the enzyme system (14,26,28) ions, radicals, molecular species, atoms, UV light and shock waves are contributing to the removal of pollutants without requiring any additional chemicals. The efficiency of NTP treatment on waste water depends on the gas composition used to generate NTP, the power applied and the temperature of the solution (60)(61)(62)(63)(64). A study has shown that the application of NTP to degrade antibiotics of the penicillin class such as amoxicillin, oxacillin and ampicillin which are widely used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of bacterial infections in animals (65).…”

Infrastructure in animal husbandry refers to fundamental facilities and services necessary for better living conditions of animals and its economy to function through better productivity. Mainly, infrastructure can be divided into two categories: hard infrastructure and soft infrastructure. Physical infrastructure, such as buildings, roads, and water supplying systems, belongs to hard infrastructure. Soft infrastructure includes services which are required to maintain economic, health, cultural and social standards of animal husbandry. Therefore, the proper management of infrastructure in animal husbandry is necessary for animal welfare and its economy. Among various technologies to improve the quality of infrastructure, non-thermal plasma (NTP) technology is an effectively applicable technology in different stages of animal husbandry. NTP is mainly helpful in maintaining better health conditions of animals in several ways via decontamination from microorganisms present in air, water, food, instruments and surfaces of animal farming systems. Furthermore, NTP is used in the treatment of waste water, vaccine production, wound healing in animals, odorfree ventilation, and packaging of animal food or animal products. This review summarizes the recent studies of NTP which can be related to the infrastructure in animal husbandry.
