thyme essential oils (eo) with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties are widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and perfume industry. it is also used for flavoring and preservation of several foods. nowadays, packaging research is receiving a considerable attention due to the development of eco-friendly materials made from natural polymers such as starch and chitosan. in this study thymus ...

Edible films were elaborated from gelatin solutions (4% w/v) of mahi-mahi skin (Coryphaena hippurus) with 2,5; 5; 7,5 and 10% v/v oregano extract (OE) its physicochemical, antimicrobial, structural surface properties determined. The control 2.5% OE showed the lowest moisture opacity values highest viscosity values. All inhibited growth Staphylococcus aureus Proteus vulgaris. Alone antimicrobial...

Some physical properties like Gas barrier, thermal stability, and mechanical properties and brittleness of pure biopolymers film are inadequate for food packaging. The functional properties of quince seed mucilage-based films were enhanced by addition of nanoclay (NC) (Cloisite 30B). Edible films were cast from heated aqueous solutions of quince seed (10% w/w) and NC (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% w/w...

Shelf life extension of Ricotta cheese was evaluated at 4 degrees C upon the use of edible coatings made of galactomannans from Gleditsia triacanthos incorporating nisin against Listeria monocytogenes. Three different treatments were tested in cheese: samples without coating; samples with coating without nisin; and samples with coating containing 50 IU x g(-1) of nisin. To test the effectivenes...

Cassava starch has been widely explored as film forming material, however its hydrophilicity restricts application. Hydrophobic material such modified can be used in the elaboration to improve quality. This study aims examine effect of cassava concentration on physical, barrier, and mechanical properties edible films. A completely randomized design was with 5 concentrations at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%,...
