The application of cold plasma as a pretreatment for extraction process is a recent development. This research investigates the impact of cold plasma (CP) treatment on the extraction process of bioactive compounds from black chokeberry samples. Utilizing a 12-hour maceration process, various analyses, including total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant capacity (DPPH, ABTS+, CUPRAC assays), total monomeric anthocyanin content (TMA), color parameters, and comprehensive mathematical modeling, were employed to assess the effectiveness of CP treatment. The kinetic modeling with Peleg, Power Law, Elovic's, and Two-site Kinetic Models emphasized the critical role of CP treatment duration in the extraction process. This study indicates that the power-law kinetic model provided the best fit for the experimental data from CP-treated samples, suggesting that this model most accurately describes the extraction kinetics under the conditions tested. In summary, this investigation underlines the crucial role of mathematical modeling in understanding the dynamics of bioactive compound extraction under CP treatment.
