The impact of cold atmospheric pressure plasma treatment on the inactivation kinetics of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 and the resulting quality changes was investigated in tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) milk (TNM). The effect of input power (39,43, and 46 W) and treatment time (0 to 270 s) was fitted using the Wei bull model to represent the microbial kinetic in activation in the treated TNM. Inactivation efficacy increased with an increase in treatment time and input power. A 5.28-log reduction was achieved at 39 to 46 W without significant changes in titrat able acidity, whereas no reduction in titrat able acidity was observed in the pasteurized sample. The inactivation kinetics was adequately described by the Weibull model. Higher input power of 43and 46 W and 120 s of treatment resulted in marked decreases in pH, flavonoid concentration, and antioxidant activity compared with those parameters in pasteurized TNM. Increases in total color difference and phenolic concentrations also were observed.The results indicate that these changes were caused by the immanent plasma reactive species. This study provides valuable inactivation kinetics information for food safety assessment studies of B. cereus vegetative cells in TNM.
