new edible composite films formed from salep (orchis mascula) and 10%, 20%, and 30% (w/w) oleic acid were prepared by emulsification with the aim of improving the water vapor barrier and mechanical properties of the film. as oleic acid concentration increased up to 30% (w/w), oxygen permeability (27%), elongation at break (86%) and thickness (2%) of salep films increased significantly and the t...

the effects of nano titanium dioxide incorporation were investigated on the water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, and antimicrobial properties of bovine gelatin films. the nano tio2 (tio2- n) was homogenized by sonication and incorporated into bovine gelatin solutions at different concentrations (e.g. 1, 2, 3, and 5% w/w of dried gelatin). the permeability of the films to water vapor a...

in this research, high oxygen-barrier films were organized based on low-density polyethylene (ldpe)/ ethylene vinyl alcohol (evoh)/ polyethylene-grafted maleic anhydride (ldpe-g-ma) compatibilizer. the effects of 10–30 wt. % evoh and 0–10 wt. % ldpe-g-ma loadings on the properties of final films were evaluated. the morphology of specimens was observed by using scanning electron microscopy (sem)...

The permeability of the swimbladder to gas was measured as the conductance to oxygen in seven species of fish. The low over-all conductance resides in the low diffusion constant, K, of the middle layer of the wall (submucosa) while the outer and inner layers (tunica externa and mucosa) have diffusion constants similar to other vertebrate tissues. The low diffusion constant is due to a low diffu...

barrier properties are one of the most important factors in the edible film. in this study, edible mungbean films were prepared containing (0%, 15%, 30%, 45%) concentrations of rosemary aqueous extract. then the effect of rosemary was investigated on colorimetric and barrier properties (water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability). rosemary extract increased the absorption of color in the vis...

Plasma oxygen permeability measures how easily oxygen dissolves in and diffuses through blood plasma. There has long been evidence that artery wall hypoxia plays a role in atherogenesis. This paper reviews the influence that plasma oxygen permeability has on artery wall oxygenation and presents experimental evidence for a relationship between plasma oxygen permeability and clinically significan...

legumes are rich sources of protein and consider a good alternative to make a protein films. in this study, central composite design to investigate the simultaneously effect of the grasspea protein isolates (2 - 10 percent), glycerol (0.5 - 7%) and oleic acid (0 - 2%) on properties of edible films made from grasspea protein isolates, such as thickness, density, percentage of solubility in water...

nowadays use of edible films and coatings is increasing due to their biodegradability properties. fish gelatin obtained from fish skin wastage can be used as an appropriate protein compound for preparation of edible films and replacing pork gelatin. in this study, films were prepared from a combination of fish gelatin and three phenolic compounds (caffeic acid, tannic acid and ferulic acid) at ...

A new approach is described to analyse the barrier properties of the outer part of rice (Oryza sativa L.) roots towards oxygen. By using a root-sleeving O(2) electrode, radial oxygen loss at different distances from the root apex was measured and related to the corresponding root structure. In addition, internal oxygen concentrations were precisely adjusted using a newly developed perfusion tec...
