Abstract
Supercritical fluid technology is an innovative technique that has sparked interest in its potential for structural alteration since it utilizes less difficult-to-recycle compounds such as salts, acids, and bases in the protein industry’s processing. It may become a novel method of protein modification in the food sector due to its abundant source, low cost, eco-friendliness. This work presents a comprehensive review of supercritical fluid technologies, focussing on their application in the innovative area of supercritical fluid therapy, specifically examining the modification of egg white protein. Although this technique offers several advantages, there are multiple issues to be taken forward which includes scalability, cost-effectiveness, safety considerations and regulatory aspects when applying commercially especially food and medical uses. Research on the effect of molecular modifications on the functional properties of egg white proteins is greatly promising.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
