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...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. DL 1266-5), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. var. MSFH 17) and mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek var. P 9072] were grown in field under atmospheric (360 +/- 10 cm3 m(-3), AC) and elevated (650 +/- 50 cm3 m(-3), EC) CO2 concentrations in open top chambers for entire period of growth and development. Photosynthetic acclimation to elevated CO2 was examined by com...

Mungbean (Vigna radiate L. Wilczek) is an important legume crop for its valuable nutritional and health benefits. Desiccation tolerance (DT) is a capacity of seeds to survive and maintain physiological activities during storage and under stress conditions. Many studies of DT have been reported in other legume crop, such as soybean and Medicago truncatula with little studies in the mungbean. In ...

A rice starch based film, reinforced with starch nanocrystals (prepared by submitting native granules of rice starch to acid hydrolysis at 40 oC) was prepared by casting film-solution on leveled trays. The influence of the content of starch nanocrystals (5 to 30%) on the mechanical, thermal and structural properties of rice starch films was investigated. The rice starch films showed an increase...

Mungbean has claimed its rich source of protein and premium quality of starch; however the disadvantage of antinutritional factor phytic acid in monogastric animals is needed to be decreased. Understanding both upand down-stream of phytic acid biosynthetic pathway will be a great benefit for controlling the appropriate level phytic acid in legumes. Cloning of D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate synthase...

in this paper effect of sio 2 nanoparticles was investigated on potato starch films. potato starch films were prepared by casting method with addition of nano-silicon dioxide and a mixture of sorbitol/glycerol (weight ratio of 3 to 1) as plasticizers. sio 2 nanoparticles incorporated to the potato starch films at different concentrations 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5% of total solid, and the films were dri...

this study investigated the effect of different concentrations of nanocrystalline cellulose (ncc) on the physical properties of starch-ncc nanocomposites. the nanoparticle distribution in the polymer matrix was investigated using x-ray diffraction. the heat resistance and mechanical properties of the film were measured by differential scanning calorimetry and tensile testing. investigation of n...

In order to improve the performance of allyl starch-g-poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylate) sizes, effect of molecular structure of the acrylate monomers grafted onto allyl starch has been studied. A series of acrylates including methyl acrylate (MA), ethyl acrylate (EA), butyl acrylate (BA) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA) have been grafted onto allyl starch with the same degree of substitution throug...

This report shows the performance of composite biodegradable film from chitosan, starch and sawdust fiber. The main objectives of this research are to fabricate and characterize composite biodegradable film in terms of morphology and physical properties. The film was prepared by casting method. Sawdust fiber was used as reinforcing agent and starch as polymer matrix in the casting solution. The...
