Antimicrobial electrospun ultrafine fibers from zein containing eucalyptus essential oil/cyclodextrin inclusion complex

Antioxidant electrospun zein nanofibrous web encapsulating quercetin/cyclodextrin inclusion complex

Antibacterial electrospun zein nanofibrous web encapsulating thymol/cyclodextrin-inclusion complex for food packaging.

Thymol (THY)/γ-Cyclodextrin(γ-CD) inclusion complex (IC) encapsulated electrospun zein nanofibrous webs (zein-THY/γ-CD-IC-NF) were fabricated as a food packaging material. The formation of THY/γ-CD-IC (1:1 and 2:1) was proved by experimental (X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), 1H NMR) and computational techniques. THY/γ-CD-IC (2:1) exhibited higher preservation rate an...

Electrospun polystyrene fibers containing high temperature stable volatile fragrance/flavor facilitated by cyclodextrin inclusion complexes

In this study, we report on electrospinning of functional polystyrene (PS) fibers containing cyclodextrinmenthol inclusion complexes (CD-menthol-ICs). Our goal is to develop functional electrospun fibers containing fragrances/flavors with enhanced durability and stability assisted by cyclodextrin inclusion complexation. We have used menthol as a model fragrance/flavor material and CD-menthol-IC...

Electrospun quercetin-loaded zein nanoribbons.

This study investigates quercetin-loaded zein nanoribbons, which were fabricated using different types of electrospinning processes. Using ethanol aqueous solutions as sheath fluids, the widths of quercetin-loaded zein nanoribbons (D, nm) could be manipulated simply through the adjustment of water contents(C) in the sheath fluids according to an equation of D=958-8.01C(r=0.9977), as indicated b...

Electrospun Nanofibres Containing Antimicrobial Plant Extracts

Over the last 10 years great research interest has been directed toward nanofibrous architectures produced by electrospinning bioactive plant extracts. The resulting structures possess antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant activity, which are attractive for biomedical applications and food industry. This review describes the diverse approaches that have been developed to produce el...
