Background Cold plasma (CP) can be defined as partially or wholly ionized gas carrying
myriads of highly reactive products, such as electrons, negative ions, positive ions, free …

Growing public awareness of the harmful environmental impacts of plastics has sparked
interest in the development of plant-based packaging materials. Because starch is a …

The rising need for wholesome, fresh, safe and “minimally-processed” foods has led to
pioneering research activities in the emerging non-thermal technology of food processing …

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 …

Different compounds were sequentially extracted from mango seed kernels, namely, mango
kernel fat (MKF), a phenolic extract (MKPE), and starch (MKS), with yields of about 11 …
