Ma S, Jiang H. The effect of cold plasma on starch: Structure and performance. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 340:122254. [PMID: 38857998 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
The inherent side effects of the physico-chemical properties of native starches often severely limit their use in food and non-food industries. Plasma is a non-thermal technology that allows rapid improvement of functional properties. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the sources and mechanisms of action of cold plasma and assesses its effects on starch morphology, crystal structure, molecular chain structure and physicochemical properties. The complex relationship between structure and function of plasma-treated starch is also explored. Potential applications of plasma-modified starch are also discussed in detail. The outcome of the modification process is influenced by factors such as starch type and concentration, plasma source, intensity and duration. The properties of starch can be effectively optimised using plasma technology. Plasma-based technologies therefore have the potential to modify starch to create a range of functionalities to meet the growing market demand for clean label ingredients.

Cold plasma: Unveiling its impact on hydration, rheology, nutritional, and anti-nutritional properties in food materials - An overview. Food Chem X 2024; 22:101266. [PMID: 38486618 PMCID: PMC10937106 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Non-thermal technologies, primarily employed for microbial inactivation and quality preservation in foods, have seen a surge in interest, with non-thermal plasma garnering particular attention. Cold plasma exhibits promising outcomes, including enhanced germination, improved functional and rheological properties, and microorganism destruction. This has sparked increased exploration across various domains, notably in hydration and rheological properties for creating new products. This review underscores the manifold benefits of applying cold plasma to diverse food materials, such as cereal and millet flours, and gums. Notable improvements encompass enhanced functionality, modified color parameters, altered rheological properties, and reduced anti-nutritional factors. The review delves into mechanisms like starch granule fragmentation, elucidating how these processes enhance the physical and structural properties of food materials. While promising for high-quality food development, overcoming challenges in scaling up production and addressing legal issues is essential for the technology's commercialization.

Ma S, Ma T, Tsuchikawa S, Inagaki T, Wang H, Jiang H. Effect of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treatment on physicochemical and 3D printing properties of wheat starch. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:132159. [PMID: 38719018 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, the focus has shifted towards carbohydrate-based hydrogels and their eco-friendly preparation methods. This study involved an investigation into the treatment of wheat starch using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma technology over varying time gradients (0, 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 min). The objective was to systematically examine the impact of different treatment durations on the physicochemical properties of wheat starch and the suitability of its gels for 3D printing. Morphology of wheat starch remained intact after DBD treatment. However, it led to a reduction in the amylose content, molecular weight, and crystallinity. This subsequently resulted in a decrease in the pasting temperature and viscosity. Moreover, the gels of the DBD-treated starch exhibited superior 3D printing performance. After a 2-min DBD treatment, the 3D printed samples of the wheat starch gel showed no significant improvements, as broken bars were evident on the surface of the 3D printed graphic, whereas DBD-20 showed better printing accuracy and surface structure, compared to the original starch without slumping. These results suggested that DBD technology holds potential for developing new starch-based gels with impressive 3D printing properties.

Liang Y, Zheng L, Yang Y, Zheng X, Xiao D, Ai B, Sheng Z. Dielectric barrier discharge cold plasma modifies the multiscale structure and functional properties of banana starch. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 264:130462. [PMID: 38423435 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
Banana starch has attracted significant attention due to its abundant content of resistant starch. This study aims to compare the multiscale structure and functional properties of banana starch obtained from five cultivated varieties and investigate the impact of dielectric barrier discharge cold plasma (DBD) treatment on these starch characteristics. All five types of natural banana starch exhibited an elliptical and irregular shape, conforming to the CB crystal structure, with a bimodal distribution of branch chain lengths. The resistant starch content ranged from 88.9 % to 94.1 %. Variations in the amylose content, amylopectin branch chain length distribution, and structural characteristics resulted in differences in properties such as gelatinization behavior and sensitivity to DBD treatment. The DBD treatment inflicted surface damage on starch granules, reduced the amylose content, shortened the amylopectin branch chain length, and changed the relative crystallinity to varying degrees. The DBD treatment significantly increased starch solubility and light transmittance. Simultaneously, it resulted in a noteworthy decrease in peak viscosity and gelatinization enthalpy of starch paste. The in vitro digestibility test showed that 76.2 %-86.5 % of resistant starch was retained after DBD treatment. The DBD treatment renders banana starch with reduced viscosity, increased paste transparency, enhanced solubility, and broadens its potential application.
