Bacterial Decontamination of Water-Containing Objects Using Piezoelectric Direct Discharge Plasma and Plasma Jet. Biomolecules 2024; 14:181.

Abstract
Cold atmospheric plasma has become a widespread tool in bacterial decontamination, harnessing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species to neutralize bacteria on surfaces and in the air. This technology is often employed in healthcare, food processing, water treatment, etc. One of the most energy-efficient and universal methods for creating cold atmospheric plasma is the initiation of a piezoelectric direct discharge. The article presents a study of the bactericidal effect of piezoelectric direct discharge plasma generated using the multifunctional source "CAPKO". This device allows for the modification of the method of plasma generation "on the fly" by replacing a unit (cap) on the working device. The results of the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in a buffer solution in the modes of direct discharge in air and a plasma jet with an argon flow are presented. The bactericidal effect of these types of plasma against the bacteria E. coli BL21 (DE3) was studied. The issues of scaling the treatment technique are considered.

Abstract
This review is devoted to a topic of high interest in recent times-the use of plasma technologies in agriculture. The increased attention to these studies is primarily due to the demand for the intensification of food production and, at the same time, the request to reduce the use of pesticides. We analyzed publications, focusing on research conducted in the last 3 years, to identify the main achievements of plasma agrotechnologies and key obstacles to their widespread implementation in practice. We considered the main types of plasma sources used in this area, their advantages and limitations, which determine the areas of application. We also considered the use of plasma-activated liquids and the efficiency of their production by various types of plasma sources.

Foods 2023; 12:foods12081605. [PMID: 37107401 PMCID: PMC10137701 DOI: 10.3390/foods12081605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Plasma-activated liquid is a novel non-thermal antibacterial agent against a wide spectrum of foodborne bacteria, yet fewer studies focused on its disinfection of meat spoilage bacteria. In this study, the antibacterial properties of plasma-activated lactic acid (PALA) on Pseudomonas lundensis, isolated and identified from spoilage beef, were investigated. A plasma jet was used to treat lactic acid (0.05-0.20%) for 60-120 s. The results presented that the 0.2% LA solution treated with plasma for 120 s caused a 5.64 log reduction. Additionally, the surface morphology, membrane integrity and permeability were altered slightly and verified by scanning electron microscopy, double staining of SYTO-9 and propidium iodide, and a K+ test kit. The intracellular organization of the cells, observed by transmission electron microscopy, was damaged significantly. Increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels exceeded the antioxidant ability of glutathione (GSH), leading to a reduction in the activity of malate dehydrogenase (MDH), succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and intracellular ATP levels. Metabolomics analysis indicated that the energy and synthesis of essential components, such as DNA and amino acid-related metabolic pathways, were disturbed. In conclusion, this research established a theoretical basis for the use of PALA in refrigerated beef preservation by shedding light on the bacteriostatic effect of PALA against Pseudomonas lundensis.
