Edible film is a thin layer that used as substitute for synthetic plastic or primary packaging of food product. Corn starch suspended with chitosan and glycerol able to improve the quality edible film. The purpose this research determine physical characteristics from modified corn starch. concentrations were 15%, 20% 25%, 30% 40%. Physical observed thickness, absorption, solubility degradation....

A case of metastatic tapioca melanoma of the iris in a 12-year-old girl is reported. The patient had heterochromia, a red painful eye, and was treated for iritis with secondary glaucoma. In the course of 5 months iris lesions with the clinical appearance of tapioca pudding developed, and biopsy disclosed a melanoma. The eye was immediately enucleated, and pathological examination showed a melan...

kaolin-based film as surround wp® was applied to ‘galaxy’ apple trees to evaluate its effects on postharvest fruit quality. following harvest, the surround wp® on the fruit skin was either wiped off, or left unwiped, then, the fruits from these treatments along with fruits from non-surround wp®-treated trees as the control were stored at 6°c for 100 days. surround wp® film application reduced w...

introduction: biodegradable films for food packaging applications have attracted an increasing amount of consideration over the last two decades, predominantly due to environmental pollution and the realization that our petroleum resources are not infinite. starch, which is one of the natural biopolymers, has been considered as one of the best candidates primarily because of its processbility, ...

To measure the cleanability of stainless steel surfaces under standardized conditions, a test stand was set up. Three stainless steel plates (size 200 x 100 mm) can be fixed to the test stand and sprayed with a water jet from a low-pressure nozzle for a period of several minutes. The plates were previously soiled with a starch or protein film with a pre-defined layer thickness and dried for sev...

Environmental concerns about increasing industrial use of plastics and the associated waste are raising the demand for renewable sources to replace petroleum-based products, especially in the packaging sector. This thesis examined the relationship between molecular structures of starch and their material properties in coating materials for food packaging. Chemical modification of starch with ci...

The increasing use of conventional plastic has been creating some big problems, ranging from the oil crisis as a raw material for production and accumulation unbiodegradable waste on earth. One promising measures to handle problem is environmentally–friendly biodegradable plastic, made renewable materials. aim this project characterize properties bio-plastic banana peel. process begins with ext...
