Biopolymer nanoparticles can be formed by heating globular protein/polysaccharide mixtures above the thermal denaturation temperature of the protein under pH conditions where the two biopolymers are weakly electrically attracted to each other. In this study, the influence of polysaccharide linear charge density on the formation and properties of these biopolymer nanoparticles was examined. Mixe...

biopolymers are environmental friendly sources as renewable and sustainable substituents for petroleum-based polymers. application of these polymers is common in variety of industries including papermaking. herbalexudate gums have been used in papermaking industry for decades, especially paper recycling. in this study, gum polysaccharide exudates from baridje plant  (ferula gummosa) extracted a...

The mechanics of biological tissue is largely determined by the mechanics of biopolymer networks such as the extracellular matrix on cellular scale or the cytoskeleton on subcellular scale. Micromechanical simulations of biopolymer networks have thus attracted increasing interest in the last years. Here we introduce a simulation framework for biopolymer networks based on a finite element model ...

Abstract . Some biopolymer materials can be used as filler to increase the slow release capacity of active component. Technology modification biopesticide production processes its use sodium alginate, maltodextrin and CMC (Carboxy Methyl Celluose). The purpose this research activity was modify formulation several types concentrations biopolymers analyze characteristics in citronella oil-based b...

The progress in the development of DPI technology has boosted the use of sensitive drug molecules for lung diseases. However, delivery of these molecules from conventional DPI to the active site still poses a challenge with respect to deposition efficiency in the lung. At same time, serious systemic side effects of drugs have become a cause for concern. The developed budesonide loaded biopolyme...

Two printing methods, extrusion and inkjet, are used to deposit tracks of PEDOT/PSS conducting polymer onto biopolymer films with a view to prepare implantable tissue mimics containing electronic devices. Extruded tracks offer lower printing resolution, but better electrical characteristics compared to inkjet printed tracks. The biopolymer–ink interaction results in narrower printed tracks comp...

This chapter offers an overview of the biopolymer-based lightweight materials with respect to their potential for packaging applications. The biopolymer-based materials have garnered increasing attention to packaging market due to the concerns from both environmental and economical perspectives of traditional petroleum based polymers in recent years. The largely use of these traditional synthet...

A binary mixture of starch-starch or starch with other biopolymers such as protein and non-starch polysaccharides could provide a new approach in producing starch-based food products. In the context of food processing, a specific adjustment in the rheological properties plays an important role in regulating production processing and optimizing the applicability, stability, and sensory of the fi...

The aim of the current research work was to formulate drug loaded nano-suspension using novel bioexcepient isolated from kernels of Prunus amygdalus and to explore the capability of external acoustic meatus as novel acoustic drug delivery system. The biomaterial was extracted by simplified economical process and was further purified by hot dialysis method. The isolated biomaterial was subjected...
