The residue of Camellia seeds after oil extraction contains many bioactive ingredients, including tea saponin. Tea saponin has many pharmacological effects and is an excellent nonionic surfactant. The development of natural surfactants has become a hot topic in food research. This review gathers the applications of tea saponin as a surfactant in food. It focuses on the application of tea saponin in emulsions, delivery systems, extraction and fermentation, as well as the challenges and development prospects in food applications. Tea saponin shows great potential as a surfactant in food applications, which can replace some synthetic surfactants. The full utilization of tea saponin improves the comprehensive utilization value of Camellia seed residue, contributes to the sustainable development of Camellia industry and avoids resource waste.

... Consequently, there is a need for non-toxic, natural, and safe substances to serve as indicators in intelligent packaging. In fact, natural pigments show different structural forms with different colors at different pH values [65]. These natural pigments alter color in response to changes in pH of the meat, offering a straightforward visual information for meat freshness [66]. ...

... Furthermore, it is worth noting that hydrogen bonding interactions between the CS and NLPE components expand the amorphous zone of the film, ultimately causing a reduction in the crystallinity of the film. This result is closely linked to the molecular interactions occurring within the film, providing evidence that CS exhibits good compatibility with the NLPE extracts [36]. Figure 6 displays the FTIR spectra of NLPE, CS/NLPE-0, CS/ NLPE-5, and CS/NLPE-15 films. ...

... [9], 18.53% [10], 10.79% [11], and 23% [12]. The high pectin content makes red dragon fruit peels possible to develop as edible film [13]- [15]. The total phenolic content of RDFP was 7.95 (mg of GAE/gr of dm) in fresh peels and 7.84 dry peels [11], which showed high antioxidant activity [16]. ...

... In recent years, novel catalysts, such as ionic liquids and surfactants, have been developed. These new catalysts are mostly reliable, safe, and environmentally friendly [37][38][39][40]. Yang et al. achieved an esterification rate of 92.3% for phytosterol esters using the ionic liquid ChCl•2SnCl 2 as a catalyst, with lauric acid serving as the acyl donor [41]. ...
