Description
Hyun-Joo Kim and co-authors present a 2025 food science study on zapping wheat with reactive air plasma to squeeze out more, and better, oil. Plasma treatment is a cold, chemical-free way to roughen plant surfaces. The team tested whether it could raise lipid yield and the anti-aging activity of wheat lipids for cosmetics.
Ten minutes of plasma gave the best extraction, lifting yield from about 1.8 to about 3.0 percent. The treated oil also blocked two skin-aging enzymes far more strongly and moisturized better at the tested dose. Two prized fatty acids rose five-fold and eight-fold. Microscopy showed the grain surface disrupted and smoothed, easing the oil's escape. The authors propose plasma-treated wheat lipids as cosmetic ingredients, pending animal and scale-up tests.
