To meet market demands, soybean is predominantly grown with the excess use of harmful pesticides like chlorpyrifos, which leaves poisonous residues on seeds' surfaces. In this study, we have treated chlorpyrifos (1, 2 and 3 mg/kg) infused ozone (300–550 mg/l) low pressure (2 mbar) cold plasma (CP: 1.0–2.0 kV) for up to a period 30 min reduce pesticide residues. However, it was found that at higher concentrations, treatment can only cause 50% reduction after exposure, even 550 mg/l...
Abstract Naturally available foods contain nutrients like vitamins (A, C, E, and D), zinc, calcium, magnesium, folate iron, omega fatty acids, selenium, phytochemicals that have profound protective effects (boosting immunity) on human from diseases. The critical component of obtaining incredible health is to maintain proper diet with healthy food, sleep, regular exercise. This review drafted an aim lay out the importance consuming immune boosting foods, present various nutritional compounds...
A low-pressure plasma system was used to study the continuous decontamination of milk flowing at atmospheric pressure in a quartz tube.

Sesame is a traditional oilseed comprising essential amino acids. However, the presence of allergens in sesame significant problem its consumption; thus, this study attempted to reduce these oilseeds.The present aimed evaluate effect cold plasma processing on structural changes proteins, and thereby alteration allergenicity milk. Method: milk (300 mL) was processed using atmospheric pressure bubbling unit (dielectric barrier discharge, power: 200 V, airflow rate: 16.6 mL/min) at different...
Abstract Avocado ( Persea americana Mill.) is an oil‐rich fruit that valued globally for its nutritional value and bioactive compounds. Intake of avocado in turn leads to immune system enhancements, protection oxidative damage mediated the organism through cellular metabolic activities. The significant challenge raise consumption maintaining high dietetic processing/supply chains. This accredited quick ripening caused by enzymatic concentration lipid auto‐oxidation. Darkening pulp also...
Abstract This study aims at integrating food material with processing to develop edible shape‐changing foods and investigate the effect of cold plasma treatment on their functionality. The anisotropic structure xerogel was obtained by sessile drop drying hydrogel. Xerogel discs were exposed glow discharge 7.32 W for 5 min. For harnessing shape transformation, ethyl cellulose (constraint material) applied in a single circle pattern. Upon immersing hot water transformation takes place,...
This work characterizes the oxidative changes that different plasma processing imparts on milk through volatile components analysis. Cow was subjected separately to two treatments (plasma bubbling and low-pressure plasma) in combination. Plasma altered milk's nature both treatments; combination amplified volatiles produced. The maximum of 1.23 log10 microbial reduction obtained when were combined together, however, count had less impact milk. Whereas, an increase carbonyl (2.42 8.18 n...
In the recent decade, consumers have preferred plant-based (vegan) foods due to maintenance of environmental sustainability. However, some a demerit presence anti-nutritional factors and allergenic components. Thus, current study was aimed at reducing these demerits in sesame milk without spoiling quality by use green, novel, cold plasma technology. This investigated effect low-pressure (LPP) system's power levels (25, 60 120 W) on physicochemical properties, nutritional changes, factors,...
Abstract Soybeans play a vital role in the world economy as an essential food commodity by fulfilling human dietary needs. Hence, seeds are commonly transported and stored bulk quantities various parts of which ultimately results infestation issues. Callosobruchus maculatus is one major storage pests that infest soybean cause losses both quantity quality seeds. Cold plasma (CP) emerging non‐thermal disinfestation technique can disinfest grain. we have used low pressure (<2 mbar) CP at...
