Food Safety Accounting: As a Novel Interdisciplinary Approach in Iran

Nanosystems in Edible Coatings: A Novel Strategy for Food Preservation

Currently, nanotechnology represents an important tool and an efficient option for extending the shelf life of foods. Reducing particle size to nanometric scale gives materials distinct and improved properties compared to larger systems. For food applications, this technology allows the incorporation of hydrophilic and lipophilic substances with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that can...

Biodegradable Whey Protein Edible Films as a New Biomaterials for Food and Drug Packaging

       Food packaging extensively uses plastic films and containers of petroleum-based polymers for their excellent functional properties and competitive price. Plastic packaging has become a central focus of waste reduction efforts, particularly in aesthetic terms of damage to flora and fauna. Presently, consumers require greater quality and longer shelf lives for their foodstuffs, while they ...

Edible Insects as a Source of Food Allergens

Silk Fibroin as Edible Coating for Perishable Food Preservation

The regeneration of structural biopolymers into micelles or nanoparticles suspended in water has enabled the design of new materials with unique and compelling properties that can serve at the interface between the biotic and the abiotic worlds. In this study, we leveraged silk fibroin quintessential properties (i.e. polymorphism, conformability and hydrophobicity) to design a water-based prote...
