Improvement of antioxidant phytochemicals and color quality of green tea (<i>Camellia sinensis</i><scp>L.</scp>) as influenced by cold plasma

While argon and air plasmas were effective for extracting important phytochemicals, successful large-scale commercialization must consider costs, ionization potential, and energy usage, and so forth, of plasmas based on argon versus air. These findings can benefit the tea processing industry in producing higher-quality products for various sectors. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
