Abstract
The utilization of cold plasma (CP) treatment to promote covalent conjugation of ovalbumin (OVA) and gallic acid (GA), as well as its functionality, were investigated. Results demonstrated that CP significantly enhanced the covalent grafting of OVA and GA. The maximum conjugation of GA, 24.33 ± 2.24 mg/g, was achieved following 45 s of CP treatment. Covalent conjugation between GA and OVA were confirmed through analyses of total sulfhydryl (-SH) group, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Unfolding of the OVA molecule occurred upon conjugation with GA, as evidenced by multiple spectroscopy analyses. Additionally, conjugation with GA resulted in significant improvements in the antioxidant activity and emulsifying properties of OVA. This study demonstrated that CP is a robust and sustainable technique for promoting the covalent conjugate of polyphenols and proteins, offering a novel approach to enhance the functional properties of proteins.

Abstract
With increasing consumer health awareness and demand from some vegans, plant proteins have received a lot of attention. Plant proteins have many advantages over animal proteins. However, the application of plant proteins is limited by a number of factors and there is a need to improve their functional properties to enable a wider range of applications. This paper describes the advantages and disadvantages of traditional methods of modifying plant proteins and the appropriate timing for their use, and collates and describes a method with fewer applications in the food industry: the Hofmeister effect. It is extremely simple but efficient in some respects compared to traditional methods. The paper provides theoretical guidance for the further development of plant protein-based food products and a reference value basis for improving the functional properties of proteins to enhance their applications in the food industry, pharmaceuticals and other fields.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are common in many agricultural products and may harm both animals and humans. Dietary mycotoxins are reduced via physical, chemical, and thermal decontamination methods. Chemical residues are left behind after physical and chemical treatments that decrease food quality. Since mycotoxins are heat-resistant, heat treatments do not completely eradicate them. Cold plasma therapy increases food safety and shelf life. Cold plasma-generated chemical species may kill bacteria quickly at room temperature while leaving no chemical residues. This research explains how cold plasma combats mold and mycotoxins to guarantee food safety and quality. Fungal cells are damaged and killed by cold plasma species. Mycotoxins are also chemically broken down by the species, making the breakdown products safer. According to a preliminary cold plasma study, plasma may enhance food shelf life and quality. The antifungal and antimycotoxin properties of cold plasma benefit fresh produce, agricultural commodities, nuts, peppers, herbs, dried meat, and fish.

Abstract
Cereal and legume proteins, pivotal for human health, significantly influence the quality and stability of processed foods. Despite their importance, the inherent limited functional properties of these natural proteins constrain their utility across various sectors, including the food, packaging, and pharmaceutical industries. Enhancing functional attributes of cereal and legume proteins through scientific and technological interventions is essential to broadening their application. Cold plasma (CP) technology, characterized by its non-toxic, non-thermal nature, presents numerous benefits such as low operational temperatures, lack of external chemical reagents, and cost-effectiveness. It holds the promise of improving proteins' functionality while maximally retaining their nutritional content. This review delves into the pros and cons of different cold plasma generation techniques, elucidates the underlying mechanisms of protein modification via CP, and thoroughly examines research on the application of cold plasma in augmenting the functional properties of proteins. The aim is to furnish theoretical foundations for leveraging CP technology in the modification of cereal and legume proteins, thereby enhancing their practical applicability in diverse industries.

Abstract
The impact of Dielectric-Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma treatment on the prevention of heat-induced aggregation of Ovalbumin (OVA) and improvement in emulsification properties was investigated. Results highlighted the effective inhibition of thermal aggregation of OVA following exposure to plasma. Structural analysis revealed that the plasma-induced oxidation of sulfhydryl and intermolecular disulfide bonds played a pivotal role in inhibiting the thermal aggregation, considered by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), multiplies spectroscopy, and analysis of dynamic exchange of sulfhydryl-disulfide bonds. Meanwhile, the oxidation of exposed hydrophobic sites due to plasma treatment resulted in the transformation of the OVA molecule's surface from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, contributing significantly to the aggregation inhibition. Additionally, compared to an untreated sample of OVA, almost one-fold increase in emulsifying ability (EAI) and 1.5-fold in emulsifying stability (ESI) was observed after 4 min of plasma treatment. These findings demonstrated that plasma treatment not only enhanced the thermal stability of OVA, but also improved its emulsification properties.

Abstract
In this study, a composite hydrogel consisting of pea protein and konjac glucomannan (KG) was fabricated using three approaches, namely neutral, salt-set, and alkaline gelation. Hydrogels made from pea protein were brittle and weak. The addition of KG improved the elasticity and water holding capacity of the pea protein hydrogels. Concomitantly, a decrease in syneresis rate and swelling of the composite hydrogels was observed. The alkaline-set hydrogels exhibited the highest resilience to strain. Thixotropicity was found to be less pronounced for salt-set hydrogels. Sulphate had a greater positive effect on the structural recovery and negative effect on hysteresis area than chloride due to the greater salting-out effect of the sulphates. The addition of KG facilitated the formation of an interconnected structure with limited mobility of biopolymer chains. A sharp increase in G' and G" during the temperature ramp indicated the predominance of hydrophobic interactions towards the aggregation of biopolymers. The infrared spectra of the hydrogels revealed a change in secondary structure of proteins on addition of KG. A controlled in vitro release of riboflavin was observed in neutral and salt-set hydrogels. The alkaline-set hydrogels exhibited a prolonged gastric retention time, thereby establishing in vitro antacid activity in the gastric environment.

Abstract
Instant foods are widely presented in powder forms across different food segments, which potentially can be formulated with functional or beneficial compounds to provide health benefits. Many reconstituted instant powder foods form colloidal suspensions with complex structures. However, designing instant powder food could be challenging due to the structural complexity and high flexibility in formulation. This review proposed a new classification method for instant powder foods according to the solubility of ingredients and the structure of the reconstituted products. Instant powder foods containing insoluble ingredients are discussed. It summarised challenges and current advances in powder treatments, reconstitution improvement, and influences on food texture and structure to facilitate product design in related industries. The characteristics and incorporation of the main ingredients and ingredients with health benefits in product development were reviewed. Different products vary significantly in the ratios of macronutrients. The macronutrients have limited solubility in water. After being reconstituted by water, the insoluble components are dispersed and swell to form colloidal dispersions with complex structures and textures. Soluble components, which dissolve in the continuous phase, may facilitate the dispersing process or influence the solution environment. The structure of reconstituted products and destabilising factors are discussed. Both particle and molecular structuring strategies have been developed to improve wettability and prevent the formation of lumps and, therefore, to improve reconstitution properties. Various types of instant food have been developed based on healthy or functional ingredients and exhibit positive effects on the prevention of non-communicable diseases and overall health. Less processed materials and by-products are often chosen to enhance the contents of dietary fibre and phenolic compounds. The enrichment of phenolic compounds, dietary fibres and/or probiotics tend to be simultaneous in plant-based products. The process of the ingredients and the formulation of products must be tailored to design the desired structure and to improve the reconstitution property.

Abstract
Cold plasma (CP) is one of the novel non-thermal food processing technologies, which has the potential to extend the shelf-life of plant-based food products without adversely affecting the nutritional value and sensory characteristics. Besides microbial inactivation, this technology has been explored for food functionality, pesticide control, and allergen removals. Cold plasma technology presents positive results in applications related to food processing at a laboratory scale. This review discusses applications of CP technology and its effect on the constituents of plant-based food products including proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and polar and non-polar secondary plant metabolites. As proven by the publications in the food field, the influence of CP on the food constituents and sensory quality of various food materials are mainly based on CP-related factors such as processing time, voltage level, power, frequency, type of gas, gas flow rate as well as the amount of sample, type, and content of food constituents. In addition to these, changes in the secondary plant metabolites depend on the action of CP on both cell membrane breakdown and increase/decrease in the scavenging compounds. This technology offers a good alternative to conventional methods by inactivating enzymes and increasing antioxidant levels. With a waterless and chemical-free property, this sustainable and energy-efficient technology presents several advantages in food applications. However, scaling up CP by ensuring uniform plasma treatment is a major challenge. Further investigation is required to provide information regarding the toxicity of plasma-treated food products.

Abstract
In today's food industry, the potential of bioactive compounds in preventing many chronic diseases has garnered significant attention. Many delivery systems have been developed to encapsulate these unstable bioactive compounds. Emulsion gels, as colloidal soft-solid materials, with their unique three-dimensional network structure and strong mechanical properties, are believed to provide excellent protection for bioactive substances. In the context of constructing carriers for bioactive materials, proteins are frequently employed as emulsifiers or gelling agents in emulsions or protein gels. However, in emulsion gels, when protein is used as an emulsifier to stabilize the oil/water interface, the gelling properties of proteins can also have a great influence on the functionality of the emulsion gels. Therefore, this paper aims to focus on the role of proteins' emulsifying and gelling properties in emulsion gels, providing a comprehensive review of the formation and modification of protein-based emulsion gels to build high-quality emulsion gel systems, thereby improving the stability and bioavailability of embedded bioactive substances.

Atmospheric cold plasma induced nutritional & anti-nutritional, molecular modifications and in-vitro protein digestibility of guar seed (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) flour.

Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of atmospheric cold plasma treatment on the nutritional, anti-nutritional, functional, morphological, and digestibility of guar seed (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) flour. Here, guar seed flour was kept inside the plasma reactor for 5 to 20 min at different power levels (10 & 20 kV). The cold plasma treatment (CPT) significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the carbohydrate (46.87 - 36.81 %), protein (27.15 - 25.88 %), and increased the WAC (1.89 - 2.91 g/g), OAC (1.18 - 2.17 g/g), FC (113 - 186.17 %), and pasting properties of guar seed flour. High-intensity plasma-treated samples (20 kV-20 min) contained lesser tannin, phytic acid, and saponin with reduced the nutritional value. The FTIR spectrum suggested that functional group formation or destruction might have occurred in the plasma-treated samples. Additionally, the crystallinity is reduced with increasing applied voltage or duration. The SEM analysis reveals that CPT resulted in the formation of rough surfaces with highly porous structures. On the other hand, CPT significantly reduced the trypsin inhibitor activity and had a minor impact on in-vitro protein digestibility except for the 20 kV-20 min treated sample. In PCA analysis, 10 kV-15 min treated samples exhibited better nutritional value, functional, and pasting properties with maximum impact of anti-nutritional factors. From the results, it can be concluded that treatment duration rather than the applied voltage plays a significant role in preserving the nutritional content.

Abstract
To the best of our knowledge, few studies have utilized cold plasma to improve soybean protein extraction yield and the functional properties of soybean protein. In this study, we aimed to assess the benefits of remote plasma treatments on soybean with respect to the utilization of soybean protein. This study involved two different sample forms (whole and crushed beans), two different plasma chemistry modes (ozone and nitrogen oxides [NOx = NO + NO2]), and a novel pressure-swing reactor. Crushed soybeans were significantly affected by NOx-mode plasma treatment. Crushed soybeans treated with NOx-mode plasma had the best outcomes, wherein the protein extraction yield increased from 31.64% in the control to 37.90% after plasma treatment. The water binding capacity (205.50%) and oil absorption capacity (267.67%) of plasma-treated soybeans increased to 190.88% and 246.23 % of the control, respectively. The emulsifying activity and emulsion stability slightly increased compared to those of the control. The secondary structure and surface hydrophobicity were altered. The remote plasma treatment of crushed soybeans increased soybean protein extraction yield compared to plasma-treated whole beans as well as untreated beans and altered the structural and physicochemical properties of soybean proteins.

Abstract
In recent years, there have been significant developments in plant proteins production for meat and fish analogues. Some of the key developments include the use of new plant protein sources such as soy, legumes, grains, potatoes, and seaweed, as well as insect proteins, leaf proteins, mushrooms, and microbial proteins. Furthermore, to improve the technological and functional properties of plant proteins, they can be subjected to traditional and unconventional treatments such as chemical (glycosylation, deamidation, phosphorylation, and acylation), physical (pulsed electric fields, ultrasound, high hydrostatic pressure, dynamic high-pressure treatment, and cold plasma), and biological (fermentation and enzymatic modification). To obtain the high quality and the desired texture of the food product, other ingredients besides proteins, such as water, fat, flavors, binders, dyes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, also have to be used. The final product can be significantly influenced by the matrix composition, variety of ingredients, and water content, with the type of ingredients playing a role in either enhancing or constraining the desired texture of the food. There are several types of technologies used for meat and fish analogues production, including extrusion, shear cell technology, spinning, 3D printing, and others. Overall, the technologies used for meat and fish analogues production are constantly evolving as new innovations are developed and existing methods are improved. These developments have led to the creation of plant-based products that have a similar texture, taste, and nutritional profile to meat and fish, making them more appealing to consumers seeking alternatives to animal-based products.

Abstract
The application of edible films in food packaging is limited due to their poor functional properties. Cold plasma treatment (CPT) is an emerging technology for the modification of edible films. In this study, edible films were developed from different ratios of wild almond protein isolate (WAPI) and Persian gum (PG). The characterization of films revealed that the sample containing 90 % WAPI and 10 % PG had the highest elongation at break (E), the highest tensile strength (TS), and the lowest water vapor permeability (WVP). Therefore, it was selected as having the best WAPI:PG ratio and exposed to CPT for 5, 10, and 15 min. The results revealed that the application of CPT significantly increased the thickness, TS, and E of edible films, while WVP and solubility were not affected. FTIR spectra showed slight increases in peak intensities at 1628, 1538, and 1400 cm-1. The micrographs revealed that the roughness of composite films increased with increased cold plasma treatment time. In general, edible films treated by CPT for 10 min demonstrated the best functional properties.

Abstract
Sustainable and "green" technologies, such as cold plasma are gaining attention in recent times for improving the functional properties of hydrocolloids. Chemical modifications of hydrocolloids require several chemicals and solvents, which are not environment-friendly. The major objective of the study was to understand the impact of plasma treatment (170-230 V|15 min) on the rheology of film-forming solutions (FFS) and the barrier properties of pectin films. The film-forming properties of plasma-treated pectin were investigated in the presence of two plasticizers, namely, glycerol and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400. The effects of cross-linking by CaCl2 on the rheology of FFS and barrier properties of the films were discussed. A voltage-dependent decrease in the apparent viscosity of FFS was observed. The viscoelastic properties of the FFS were enhanced due to cross-linking. Glycerol exhibited a better plasticizing effect than PEG. Cross-linking and increasing voltage synergistically contributed towards lower oxygen and carbon dioxide transmission rates. The moisture sorption rate and capacity of the films increased with the voltage of the treatment. The resistance to extension of the films made from glycerol and PEG decreased with voltage, with no significant change in extensibility. On the other hand, the cross-linking by Ca2+ and plasma treatment enhanced the resistance to extension for the films made from both the plasticizers. While the increasing hydrophilicity and opacity of the films were a major drawback of plasma modification, the increase in UV barrier property of the films was an advantage of the modification.

Abstract
Although complex coacervation could improve the water solubility, thermal stability, bioavailability, antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity of essential oils (EOs). However, some wall materials (such as proteins and polysaccharides) with water solubility and hydrophobic nature limited their application in complex coacervation. In order to improve the properties of EO complex coacervates, some efficient physical field technology was proposed. This paper summarizes the application and functional properties of EOs in complex coacervates, formation and controlled-release mechanism, as well as functions of EO complex coacervates. In particular, efficient physical field technology as innovative technology, such as high pressure, ultrasound, cold plasma, pulsed electric fields, electrohydrodynamic atomization and microwave technology improved efficient and quality attributes of EO complex coacervates are reviewed. The physical fields could modify the gelling, structural, textural, emulsifying, rheological properties, solubility of wall material (proteins and polysaccharides), which improve the properties of EO complex coacervates. Overall, EOs complex coacervates possess great potential to be used in the food industry, including high bioavailability, excellent antioxidant capacity and gut microbiota in vivo, masking the sensation of off-taste or flavor, favorable antimicrobial capacity.
