Abstract

CHEMICAL modification was used in the process of extracting natural thickeners from seeds at an early age as a tool to impart new properties to them and increase their effective use in various medical and food fields and also used in industrial applications such as textile printing. Nowadays, physical techniques can replace some of these chemical modifications as processes Safe and environmentally friendly. Plasma treatment is one of these physical techniques applied to the treatment of thickeners and to improve their rheological properties and use them in textile printing processes. It is a rapidly growing field and in our current time it is preferable to use these physical techniques to replace chemical treatments in medical and industrial applications and as an environmentally friendly process. Plasma treatment does not involve the use of hazardous chemicals harmful to the environment, and therefore there are no effluent problems compared to chemical treatment.
