Roles of oxides of nitrogen on quality enhancement of soybean sprout during hydroponic production using plasma discharged water recycling technology.

ABSTRACT: This study was performed to assess the effect of plasma-discharged water recycling technology as irrigation water on soybean sprout production. Two different types of irrigation water were used individually for cultivation, including plasma discharged water as a source of oxides of nitrogen and tap water, irrigation water was recycled for every 30 minutes. Plasma discharged irrigation water reduced overall 4.3 log CFU/ml aerobic microbe and 7.0 log CFU/ml of artificially inoculated S. Typhimurium within 5 minutes and 2 minutes, respectively, therefore sprout production occurs in a hygienic environment. Using of plasma-discharged water for cultivation, increases the amount of ascorbate, asparagine, and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) significantly (p < 0.05), in the part of cotyledon and hypocot
