Yeast biomass is a novel source for the production of biodegradable films and, joint to the incorporation of certain compounds from essential oils, it is possible to design promising active materials for food preservatio...

Ochroma pyramidale, Bombacaceae, conhecida popularmente como pau-de-balsa, é utilizada para construção de jangadas, balsas, salva-vidas, bóias, brinquedos e na fabricação de papel e celulose. O objetivo deste estud...

Abstract Procyanidins, which are natural antioxidants and antimicrobials found in grapes, enhance the quality and extend the shelf life of meat. We explored the effects of edible films incorporating procyanidins on pork ...

This study investigates how four nano-additives, namely graphene, amine-functionalized graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, affect the properties of polylactic acid (PLA) used in ma...

Abstract Background A sustainable and stability-indicating reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of chlorthalidone (CHL), Amlodipine (AML),...

"In this work was studied the permeation of CO2 in films of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and organoclay modified with polyvinylalcohol () obtained from melt blending. Permeation study showed that the incorporation of...

PLA was grafted onto starch nanoparticles using a novel synthetic strategy consisting of three reaction steps. The first step was aimed to protect the hydroxyl groups of PLA by benzoylation (PLABz), the second one involv...

Convolutional Neural Network Twin Arm Robot for Automated Packing of Electronic Components is an intellectual robotic system that is developed as a COCA (Collaborative Operation Control Agent) operational handler of the ...

The paper focuses on the analysis of meat consumption patterns and the level and structure of consumption of individual types of meat, on segmenting consumers according to consumption patterns and determining the key fac...

Creativity and innovation in ludruk need to be done because this traditional art is already on the verge of extinction. The lack of regeneration of interested young people and changes in people's tastes are the dominant ...

Edible films containing natural antimicrobials, like natamycin and nisin, constitute an emerging technology that provides an additional stress factor for food preservation. However, it has been observed that edible films...

Current shampoo bottles are oversized, using more plastic than necessary. In order to promote plastic minimization, the aim of this work is to determine how much it is possible to reduce the thickness of current shampoo ...

This work aimed to evaluate the properties of butylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) degraded after 1800 days of storage (DPBAT) by preparing blends (films) with crosslinked starch (Cm) through extrusion and thermocomp...

IntroductionProbiotics have demonstrated positive effects on obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in various studies. Postbiotics, specifically nonliving bacterial lysates derived from cell walls and DNA, are increasingly r...

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine effects of aging methods (wet-aged, dry-aged, and packaged dry-aged) during 60 d on quality traits and microbial characteristics of beef. Wet-aged beef was packed by ...

Infection of a surgical wound due to bacteria is a major problem for surgical patients. Cu-zeolite is a material that can suppress bacterial growth with reversible cation characteristics and adsorption to be developed in...

Rural women in developing countries often face significant barriers to employment, income generation, and access to productive resources. In Iran, medicinal plants (MPs) cultivation offers a sustainable pathway toward ec...

This study examines the preferences and influences on the decisions of Croatian customers when purchasing food supplements. A survey of 312 customers of food supplements in Croatia found that distribution channels and ph...

Tourism stimulates local economies by boosting demand for services and products, creating jobs, and increasing revenue, but it also harms the environment, ecosystems, and biodiversity, mainly through large amounts of sol...

PLA coating on Kraft paper is very promising systems for food packaging, and has potential environmental advantages over conventional synthetic paper coatings. This work was focused on: (i) analyzing the physicochemical,...

Waste materials from agricultural and food packaging usage pose significant health and environmental challenges, where the main source of waste originates from plastics and protein-based amino acids, and their thermal de...

The use of edible films to release antimicrobial constituents in food packaging is a form of active packaging that contributes to extend the shelf-life of a product and provides microbial safety for consumers. A number o...

This review aims to critically investigate the swelling behavior of natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs), with a focus on identifying key mechanisms of moisture absorption, the influence of fiber–matrix interact...

Background: Molecular sieves are materials with selective sorption properties, and are used to separate or load mixtures of compounds based on their molecular shape and size. These materials are usually made from porous ...
