This review examines extrusion technology as a transformative approach to valorize BSG, enhancing its nutritional and functional properties while addressing process scalability and environmental concerns. Key findings demonstrate that optimized extrusion parameters—temperature, moisture levels, and shear forces—facilitate the conversion of insoluble fibers into soluble forms, increase phenolic compound bioavailability, and reduce antinutritional factors such as phytic acid, improving protein digestibility. Life cycle analysis (LCA) highlights the environmental benefits of BSG extrusion, with reduced greenhouse gas emissions compared to landfill disposal, while economic studies confirm its feasibility in scalable food production. Despite these advances, sensory challenges and consumer acceptance remain critical barriers to high BSG inclusion levels in food formulations. This review underscores the need for future research on innovative pre-treatment methods, such as fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis, and advanced extrusion techniques like reactive extrusion to further enhance BSG's functionality and application in sustainable, health-promoting food systems. These findings support the role of BSG-enriched extrudates in addressing global food security challenges, reducing environmental footprints, and contributing to the circular economy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8168,"journal":{"name":"Applied Food Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"Article 100868"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143759874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past, various thermal and non-thermal technologies have been discovered to enhance food safety in addition to conventional physical and chemical methods due to health effects and less nutritional losses. Thermal technologies including blanching, pasteurization, and sterilization are widely used to inactivate the microbes. However, these treatments affect the foods' organoleptic, nutritional, and technological characteristics. Consequently, non-thermal technologies such as cold plasma (CP), have emerged as ecologically safe treatments while preserving food quality. The main objective of this review is to explore the effects of CP, alone or in combination on the bacterial pathogenic safety of RTE foods. Besides that, this review also focuses on the possible inactivation mechanism, and challenges associated with this technique, and offers future recommendations. Previous investigations showed that CP significantly reduces the counts of <em>Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Salmonella</em> spp., <em>Listeria</em> spp., <em>Shigella,</em> and <em>Pseudomonas</em> spp. in different RTE foods with minimum loss of nutrients as compared to the heat-treated samples.
