Atmospheric cold-plasma modification as a sustainable clean technology for improving protein functionality, digestibility and tribological properties

With the increased global protein demand, it is necessary to effectively utilize protein extracted from plants, particularly with limited uses, which has poor digestibility and techno-functional properties. Therefore, the proposed project will aim at developing novel protein ingredients from alternative plant proteins with improved techno-functional properties using innovative, sustainable, nonthermal clean processing technology, thereby improving competitiveness and sustainability in protein industry.
