Trends Food Sci Technol 55 (2016), 39–47 This article is an excellent review of enzyme inactivation in food and model systems by cold plasma. This paper includes the basics of cold plasma, summarizing studies for important enzymes inactivations along with an insight into the inactivation mechanism.

Appl Environ Microbiol 82 (2016), 450–458 This study shows the differential mode of inactivation for Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria after cold atmospheric plasma treatment. This study also suggests that plasma gas species reactions are primarily dependent on the microbial cell structure and chemical composition.

Food Control B 73 (2017), 619–626 This article illustrates the degradation efficiency of aflatoxin by nitrogen gas plasma. It also analyzed the effects of plasma process variables on the degradation rate. They also showed that nitrogen gas plasma treatment not only cause degradation of aflatoxin but also reduces the physiological activity of the samples.
