Improving soybean meal-based film - Cold plasma treatments

Researchers at Seoul Women's University in Korea studied the effects of cold plasma treatment (CPT) using various plasma-forming gases on the physical properties of defatted soybean meal (DSM)-based edible film.
The effect of using a cold plasma (CP)-treated DSM film on the storage stability of salmon was also evaluated.
The researchers found that the tensile strength, elongation, and moisture barrier property of DSM film increased by 6.8%, 13.4%, and 24.4%, respectively, after CPT. The results from this study suggest the use of CPT for improving the applicability of DSM film in food packaging.
An article about the research is published in Food Hydrocolloids.
