radicals, excited molecules, and UV photons that are widely
recognized to exert microbial-inactivation effects (Kaushik et al.,
2013; Kim et al., 2014). Given the recent developments in plasma
technology, numerous distinct plasma systems have been designed,
and, among these, low-temperature atmospheric-pressure plasma
(APP) has attracted considerable attention; this is because the
generation of non-thermal plasma discharges at atmospheric
pressure helps reduce the difficulties and costs associated with the
decontamination process (Kim et al., 2011, 2013).
