Elimination of <i>Aspergillus flavus</i> from Pistachio Nuts with Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) Cold Plasma and Its Impacts on Biochemical Indices

<div>Photograph (a) and schematics (b) of an atmospheric pressure diffuse plasma generated by DBD: (1) discharge electrode, (2) pyrex glass dielectric barrier, (3) ground electrode, (4) pistachio nut sample, (5) cold plasma, (6) oscilloscope, and (7) power supply. The discharge in the photo (a) was driven by kHz sinusoidal high voltage, and the working gas was air. Photo was taken at the author’s laboratory.</div>
