This study aimed to evaluate the influence of indirect-plasma-treated water (IPTW) in preparation hydrogels. Three commonly used natural, biodegradable polymers with ability form gels were selected: gelatin, carrageenan, and sodium alginate. The pH, gelling temperature, texture profile, swelling degree, color hydrogels evaluated, subjected Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. morphology was investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Additionally, physiochemical properties media, which distilled (DW) IPTW, analyzed. results indicated that prepared IPTW characterized by a lower higher hardness gelation temperature. After 48 h ratio (SR) testing, gelatin alginate made SR, while an inverse relationship found case SR carrageenan gels. FTIR analysis confirmed changes binding ability. use also significantly affected microstructure tested materials. A statistically significant change gel samples noted. showed induces physicochemical hydrogels, can lead enhancement their practical applications.
