آلودگی میکروبی و مقاومت آنتی بیوتیکی باکتری های ایزوله شده در ظروف یکبار مصرف غذایی شهر همدان

Introduction: The widespread application of disposable food containers in Iranian society has been rapidly increased. Scientific evaluation for detecting problems of such containers and their microbial contamination is necessarily inevitable. The aim of this study was to determine the level of contamination in plastic and plant disposable food containers and examining the antibiotic resistances...

Evaluation of the Migration of Antimony from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Plastic Used for Verjuice and Lemon Juice Packaging

The migration of antimony (Sb) from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottling for acidic juices have been assessed in this study. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric (ICP-MS) method was chosen for antimony content determination. Experiments were undertaken at different conditions (15, 25, 35, 45days at 25, 50°C for first use bottle, reused bottle). Two different acidic juices (lemon j...

Evaluation of antimicrobial activity of Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) films containing cellulose nanoparticle and Bunium persicum and Mentha pepperita essential oils (EOs)

BACKGROUND: Packaging is one of the important aspect of food quality and safety. Unfortunately, most of food packaging materials are from oil resources that are limited resources and undegradable. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was reaching an environmentally friendly packaging with enhancement safety of food. METHODS: After obtaining Bunium persicum (BP) and Mentha pepperita (MP) essential ...

Isolation of Polyhydroxyalkanoates from Fermentation Broth

1. ABSTRACT Polyhydroxyalkanoates are excellent polymeric materials for production of environmentally degradable packaging devices and have potential applicability in medical uses. Aim of this project was the isolation of PHA from fermentation broth. Two general approaches for isolation of biopolymers from fermentation broth have been determined and compared. The first possibility is a multista...
