Plastein is a protease-induced peptide aggregate with prospective application in enhancing the nutritional quality of proteins and debittering protein hydrolysates. (Gong M, Mohan A, Gibson A, Udenigwe CC. Mechanisms of plastein formation, and prospective food and nutraceutical applications of the peptide aggregates. Biotechnol Rep (Amst). 2014 Dec 12;5:63-69. doi: 10.1016/j.btre.2014.12.003. PMID: 28626684; PMCID: PMC5466193.)
A synthetic material made from a wide range of organic polymers, such as polyethylene, PVC, and nylon. These materials can be molded into various shapes and are used in countless applications due to their versatility, durability, and lightweight properties. (FAOLEX. 2025. Glossary https://www.fao.org/faolex/)
The plastid is a semi-autonomous, self-reproducing organelle. Plastids are remnants of a photosynthetic organism that was engulfed by the host, although not all are now photosynthetic. (UniProt, 2024. Cellular component - Plastid https://www.uniprot.org/locations/SL-0209)
