Summary: The study found that treating hairtail fish with ACP led to slight changes in peroxide value and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, but significant increases in surface hydrophobicity, turbidity, and water-holding capacity. This indicates that ACP treatment can enhance the protein and lipid properties of hairtail fish myofibril protein, reinforcing gel formation.

Summary: This review evaluates the potential of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) as a method for inactivating foodborne viruses. CAP has been shown to successfully inactivate foodborne viruses and its non-toxic, residue-free sanitation system for fresh foods makes it highly attractive to the industry. However, the lack of standard devices or protocols makes it difficult to translate these findings into meaningful applications.

Summary: The study found that the size of microplastic particles affects the DSC signal, but through appropriate sample preparation, signals corresponding to microplastics of different sizes can be identified and quantified. Additionally, the application of DSC technique in the field of microplastics may provide estimates of the number of microplastic particles within a sample.

Summary: The relationship between energy flux, flow dynamics, and applied electrical power of a nanosecond pulsed cold atmospheric pressure plasma jet in contact with a substrate surface was investigated. The study found a transition from laminar to turbulent flow at a lower Reynolds number than conventional values, and revealed changes in energy flux with different biasing conditions.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of three different cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) sources, atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ), two dimension dielectric barrier discharge (2D-DBD), and nanosecond pulsed discharge (ns-pulsed), on the structure, functionality, and amino acid composition of pea protein. The plasma treatments resulted in protein denaturation, increased surface hydrophobicity, formation of soluble aggregates mainly through disulfide linkages, and changes in secondary structures. Improved surface properties, presence of soluble aggregates, and increased beta-sheet content contributed to enhanced gelation and emulsification. Significant improvement in emulsion stability was attributed to smaller droplet sizes and higher surface charge. The differences among CAP-treated samples were due to variations in plasma fluence and composition of reactive species. While all three plasma treatments showed appreciable functionalization effects, 30 min 2D-DBD (Ar + O2) treatment had negligible impact on the amino acid composition.

Summary: The contribution of thermodynamics of mixing to glass transition in polymer-modified asphalt binders was studied quantitatively using a differential scanning calorimeter with an epoxy system. The miscibility of the binders was determined by measuring the heat capacity (Cp) and glass transition temperature (Tg) based on entropic changes. The enthalpy of mixing was also examined to ensure complete crosslinking of the binders. The results showed that the positive deviations of Tg from the ideal mixing rule indicated the presence of repulsive forces between the asphalt and epoxy components.

Summary: This study utilized cold atmospheric plasma to promote gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) accumulation in buckwheat during germination. The results showed that the GABA content significantly increased after the treatment, and the GABA-enriched buckwheat powder exhibited enhanced inhibitory effect on angiotensin-converting enzyme and improved processing properties when formed into dough.

Summary: In this study, the kinetics of non-isothermal cold-crystallization of quench-cooled carbamazepine (CBZ) were investigated using Differential Scanning Calorimetry under different heating rates. Various models were discussed for describing the mechanism of nucleation and growth, with the Matusita model being considered the most versatile one. It was found that the Matusita model properly described both surface and bulk crystallization mechanisms in different conditions of heating rates.
