Polarity			+	+	+	−	−

d—distance of the cold plasma source to the sample; t—time range; AOH—reduction of alternariol; AME—reduction of alternariol monomethyl ether; TEN—reduction of tentoxin; T—temperature of wheat flour sample after treatment; M—moisture of wheat flour sample after treatment; SS—standard score. Polarity—negative sign is associated with “the lower the better” criteria, while positive sign is associated with “the higher the better” criteria, as explained in Section 4.10.3. * Values are calculated (see Section 4.9).
