As a novel post-harvesting strategy, edible films and coatings for fruits vegetables offer preservation measures to meet the growing needs of hunger agricultural management. The functionality is distinctly same. However, differ in their processing physicomechanical characteristics as they are designed improve shelf life, barrier, nutritional properties food. With emerging concerns about sustain...

Whey protein isolate and glycerol were mixed to form a matrix to incorporate antimicrobial agents and produce edible films with antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from cheeses. Various organic acids were used to decrease pH down to approximately 3. In a preliminary assay without nisin, the effect of each organic acid was evaluated with respect to the rheologi...

the effect of dry material, glycerol and ratio of water to seed in alyssum homalocarpum films on their thickness, transparency, moisture content, tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability was investigated using mixture response surface methods. dry material and glycerol were important factors influencing tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability. ratio of water t...

Conventional extraction (CE) and microwave-assisted (MAE) were compared in terms of efficiency quality pectin two separate processes aimed to extract from Malus domestica ‘F?lticeni’ apple pomace. A similar yield a shorter time was observed for the procedure as CE, while galacturonic acid content degree esterification both methods. Apple extracted this plant source by methods had high content, ...
