Abstract
Cold plasma is a nonthermal process used for modification of proteins. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of cold plasma technology on the phosphorylation degree, functional and oxidation properties, and structure of casein in sheep milk. Cold plasma treatment for 3-4 min significantly increased the phosphorylation degree and enhanced functional properties, including water-holding capacity, solubility, foaming capacity and stability. Besides, plasma treatment time profoundly influenced protein oxidation, and treatment for 2 and 3 min could be the preferred conditions to minimize protein change. The protein conformation became unstable with the extension of treatment time. Particle size, polymer dispersity index, and microscopy images confirmed alterations in the protein structure following 3 min of processing. Consequently, using cold plasma treatment at 10 kHz 20 kV for 3 min could be suggested for milk protein modification, providing a basis for the application of high-quality caseins in food processing.

Abstract
Pea protein is one of plant proteins with high nutritional value, but its lower solubility and poor emulsifying properties limit its application in food industry. Based on wet-heating glycosylation of pea protein and inulin, effects of discharge power of atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) on structure, solubility, and emulsifying ability of pea protein-inulin glycosylation conjugate were explored. Results indicated that the APPJ discharge power did not affect the primary structure of pea protein. However, changes in secondary and spatial structure of pea protein were observed. When APPJ discharge power was 600 W, the solubility of glycosylation conjugate was 75.0% and the emulsifying stability index was 98.9 min, which increased by 14.85 and 21.95% than that of only glycosylation sample, respectively. These findings could provide technical support for APPJ treatment combination with glycosylation to enhance the physicochemical properties of plant-based proteins.

Abstract
Tanshinone compounds are secondary metabolites which their application in food and pharmaceutical industry is limited due to the low solubility in water and sensitivity to heat. This study aimed to develop a novel biopolymer nanocarriers system based on pectin/zein for the encapsulation of tanshinone compounds using the anti-solvent precipitation method. The concentration of pectin and mass ratio of tanshinone/zein in the final formulation of nanoparticles were optimized. According to the results, a pectin concentration of 1 g/L and a tanshinone/zein ratio of 0.1:1 g/g were considered the optimal nanoparticle formulation. The resulting nanoparticles exhibited a spherical core-shell structure, with approximate values for size, zeta potential, TSI, and encapsulation efficiency of 132 ± 0.002 nm, -38.6 ± 0.019 mV, 0.600 ± 0.084, and 79.41 ± 0.62 %, respectively. The FTIR test confirmed the presence of hydrophobic, hydrogen, and electrostatic interactions among the constituents within the nanoparticles. Additionally, XRD and DSC tests verified the amorphous nature of the nanoparticles. Morphological examination conducted through TEM, and SEM revealed the characteristics of the resulting nanoparticles. Furthermore, this carrier system significantly enhanced the solubility of tanshinone compounds in water.

Foods 2023; 12:3629.

Abstract
In order to increase the development and utilization of chickpea protein isolate (CPI) and improve the stability of myofibrillar protein (MP) emulsions, the effect of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma-modified CPI on the emulsifying properties of MP was investigated. Three different O/W emulsions were prepared using MP, MP + CPI complex, or MP + DBD-treated CPI complex as the emulsifier. Compared with the emulsion prepared from MP, the emulsifying activity index and stability of DBD-treated CPI and MP complex (MP + CPIDBD) were increased (p < 0.05) from 55.17 m2/g to 74.99 m2/g and 66.31% to 99.87%, respectively. MP + CPIDBD produced more stable emulsions with the lowest Turbiscan stability index (TSI) values for a given 3600 s. At shear rates from 0 to 1000-1, MP + CPIDBD-stabilized emulsions had higher viscosities, which helped to reduce the chance of aggregation between oil droplets. The optical microscope and particle size distribution of emulsions showed that MP + CPIDBD emulsions had the lowest droplet size (d4,3) and exhibited more uniform distribution. MP + CPIDBD emulsions had lower interfacial tension. DBD pretreatment increased the adsorbed protein content in the emulsion stabilized by MP + CPIDBD as compared to the MP + CPI complex and promoted the adsorption of CPI by higher ratios of adsorbed proteins as indicated by its intensity in SDS-PAGE. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that the emulsion prepared from MP + CPIDBD had smaller particle size and more uniform dispersion. Therefore, using DBD-modified CPI could enhance the stability of MP emulsions.

Abstract
Biopolymers of different natures (carbohydrates, proteins, etc.) recovered from by-products of industrial processes are increasingly being studied to obtain biomaterials as alternatives to conventional plastics, thus contributing to the implementation of a circular economy. The food industry generates huge amounts of by-products and waste, including unsold food products that reach the end of their shelf life and are no longer usable in the food chain. Milk proteins can be easily separated from dairy waste and adapted into effective bio-based polymeric materials. Firstly, this review describes the relevant properties of milk proteins and the approaches to modifying them for subsequent use. Then, we provide an overview of recent studies on the development of films and coatings based on milk proteins and, where available, their applications in food packaging. Comparisons among published studies were made based on the formulation as well as production conditions and technologies. The role of different additives and modifiers tested for the performances of films and coatings, such as water vapor permeability, tensile strength, and elongation at break, were reviewed. This review also outlines the limitations of milk-protein-based materials, such as moisture sensitivity and brittleness. Overall, milk proteins hold great potential as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based polymers. However, their use in food packaging materials at an industrial level remains problematic.

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
Proteins and polysaccharides have been frequently used in recent years to prepare environment-friendly packaging materials. However, films based on proteins or polysaccharides alone often have poor performance as packaging, so they need to be combined to improve properties. In this work, we applied enzyme technology to prepare sodium caseinate (SC)-carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) films, incorporating epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) as bridging molecules and antibacterial agents. SC-EGCG-CMC ternary conjugate was firstly synthesized by tyrosinase (Tyr), and the composite films were then prepared with the aid of glycerol. Under tyrosinase catalytic conditions, EGCG could cross-link with SC and CMC covalently. The effects of different concentrations of EGCG and tyrosinase on mechanical properties, water vapor permeability, antibacterial properties and free radical scavenging ability were studied. The crosslinking degree and mechanical properties were improved with the increase of EGCG and tyrosinase content. The film showed good antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. In addition, the antibacterial activity and free radical scavenging ability increased with the increase of EGCG concentration. This work provides an efficient enzymatic method to prepare films with good strength and antibacterial properties, which can be used to improve the storage quality of foods.

Abstract
Atmospheric cold plasma (ACP), a novel technology, has been widely adopted as an efficient approach in surface modification of the film. The effect of ACP treatment on the physicochemical and structural properties of soy protein film were investigated. As a result, the optimal conditions for the preparation of the film were determined for soy protein (10%), glycerol (2.8%), ACP treatment at 30 kV for 3 min, on the basis of elongation at the break, and water vapor permeability. Under the optimal conditions, the ACP–treated films exhibited enhanced polarity according to the increased values of solubility, swelling index, and moisture content, compared with the untreated counterpart. An increase in the hydrophilicity is also confirmed by the water contact angle analysis, which decreased from 87.9° to 77.2° after ACP pretreatment. Thermostability was also improved by ACP exposure in terms of DSC analysis. SEM images confirmed the tiny pores and cracks on the surface of film could be lessened by ACP pretreatment. Variations in the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated that some hydrophilic groups were formed by ACP pretreatment. Atomic force microscopy data revealed that the roughness of soy protein film which was pretreated by ACP was lower than that of the control group, with an Rmax value of 88.4 nm and 162.7 nm for the ACP- treated and untreated samples, respectively. The soy protein film was characterized structurally by FT–IR and DSC, and morphological characterization was done by SEM and AFM. The soy protein film modified by ACP was more stable than the control group. Hence, the great potential in improving the properties of the film enables ACP treatment to be a feasible and promising alternative to other modification methods.

Abstract
Sunflower protein isolate obtained from industrially de-oiled press cake was treated with non-thermal microwave, aiming to investigate how structure and emulsifying properties were affected. Our results indicated that the content of polar amino acids was decreased and solubility and surface hydrophobicity were altered upon exposure to non-thermal microwave. Higher solubility and surface hydrophobicity of the samples treated with defrost mode and also 350 W were accompanied by a smaller size and lower uniformity of the oil droplets compared to the control and other samples. Non-thermal microwave treatment improved the emulsion stability by 1.43 times and defrost mode treated sample had the lowest stability index after 120 min. Interfacial dilatational rheology measurements revealed that 70 and 350 W treated samples created higher elastic, less stretchable solid-like layer at the O/W interface in comparison with defrost mode treated and control samples. Consequently, non-thermal microwave treatment could be considered as a promising simple, fast, and "green" protein modification technique.

Abstract
Biopolymers, like polysaccharides and proteins, are sustainable and green materials with excellent film-forming potential. Bio-based films have gained a lot of attention and are believed to be an alternative to plastics in next-generation food packaging. Compared to conventional plastics, biopolymers inherently have certain limitations like hydrophilicity, poor thermo-mechanical, and barrier properties. Therefore, the modification of biopolymers or their films provide an opportunity to develop packaging materials with desired characteristics. Among different modification approaches, the application of cold plasma has been a very efficient technology to enhance the functionality and interfacial characteristics of biopolymers. Cold plasma is biocompatible, shows uniformity in treatment, and is suitable for heat-sensitive components. This review provides information on different plasma generating equipment used for the modification of films and critically analyses the impact of cold plasma on packaging properties of films prepared from protein, polysaccharides, and their combinations. Most studies to date have shown that plasma treatment effectively enhances surface characteristics, mechanical, and thermal properties, while its impact on the improvement of barrier properties is limited. Plasma treatment increases surface roughness that enables surface adhesion, ink printability, and reduces the contact angle. Plasma-treated films loaded with antimicrobial compounds demonstrate strong antimicrobial efficacy, mainly due to the increase in their diffusion rate and the non-thermal nature of cold plasma that protects the functionality of bioactive compounds. This review also elaborates on the existing challenges and future needs. Overall, it can be concluded that the application of cold plasma is an effective strategy to modify the inherent limitations of biopolymer-based packaging materials for food packaging applications.

Abstract
Food is subjected to various thermal treatments during processes to enhance its shelf-life. But these thermal treatments may result in deterioration of the nutritional and sensory qualities of food. With the change in the lifestyle of people around the globe, their food needs have changed as well. Today's consumer demand is for clean and safe food without compromising the nutritional and sensory qualities of food. This directed the attention of food professionals toward the development of non-thermal technologies that are green, safe, and environment-friendly. In non-thermal processing, food is processed at near room temperature, so there is no damage to food because heat-sensitive nutritious materials are intact in the food, contrary to thermal processing of food. These non-thermal technologies can be utilized for treating all kinds of food like fruits, vegetables, pulses, spices, meat, fish, etc. Non-thermal technologies have emerged largely in the last few decades in food sector.
