Nanoencapsulation is commonly used to improve nutritional properties, rheological behavior and flavor profile of phytochemicals. The particles commonly utilized to encapsulate the functional ingredients are natural polymers such as polysaccharides and proteins. There is an ever-growing interest for use of polysaccharides to encapsulate hydrophobic phytochemicals like curcumin. Curcumin is a pol...

Native corn starch has a lack of characteristics such as low thermal stability, resistance to shear force, and high tendency retrograde. To address this problem, it needs be modified improve its application in the food sector. Hydrothermal modification is one physical modifications by heating above gelatinization temperature with limited water content. In study, native was using various methods...

Polymeric wood hemicelluloses are depicted to join cellulose, starch and chitosan as key polysaccharides for sustainable materials engineering. However, the approaches incorporate in emerging bio-based products challenged by lack of specific benefit, other than biomass-origin, although their utilization would contribute material use since they currently a side stream that is not valorized. Here...

Agriculture’s importance in human lives and the economy has directed studies to improve crop production. An essential challenge for improving fertilizer efficacy is reducing losses due leaching increasing nutrient supplies. In this context, biodegradable sachets stand out as internal packaging instead of direct insertion into polymer matrix, facilitating system processing making it easier adapt...

The reactive extrusion technique is efficient in the incorporation of bioactive compounds for active packaging development. application curcumin, a strong antioxidant its pure, isolated form to obtain has already been investigated; however, use water-soluble curcumin (WSC) thermoplastic starch/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (TPS/PBAT) films not yet investigated. It important determine ...

This study evaluated the effects of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma technology on some physicochemical and structural properties corn starch. Amylose content, solubility, water absorption index, turbidity, relationships, surface morphology were measured at 100, 200, 300 Hz excitation frequencies 10 20 min exposure times. The treatment 200 promoted most significant modifications in amy...

Biopolymeric films with the addition of nanoparticles have been studied as an alternative to replace petroleum-based synthetic packaging, which is difficult recycle and leads a major environmental problem. The goal this study develop characterise biopolymeric chitosan cassava starch titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) for use food packaging. Chitosan film (2% w/w), chitosan/cassava (1:1) blend were devel...

Ultrasound technique was used to produce native and acetylated cassava starch particles containing potassium sorbate (KS). In order obtain an active packaging, films with addition of KS (NKSPF) or added (AKSPF) were formulated. As control systems, without (CF) that not retained in (KSF), produced. The NKSPF AKSPF microstructure consistent composite materials. Tensile test revealed CF KSF ductil...

Nanocrystals of the native starches isolated from lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) and jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) were prepared by mild acid hydrolysis. The shapes and granular sizes of the native starches were obtained by a scanning electron microscope. Platelets that existed as aggregates rather than discrete molecules were observed from the transmission electron micrographs of the nanocry...

UNLABELLED Dairy proteins are amenable to structural modifications induced by high temperature, shear, and moisture; in particular, whey proteins can change conformation to new unfolded states. The change in protein state is a basis for creating new foods. The dairy products, nonfat dried milk (NDM), whey protein concentrate (WPC), and whey protein isolate (WPI) were modified using a twin-screw...
