An emulsified gel of (+)-catechin was developed and evaluated topically against 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-promoted (DMBA-induced and TPA-promoted) squamous cell carcinoma of the skin in BALB/c mice. The biological evaluation outcome indicated that the (+)-catechin emulsified gel increased the activity of oxidative stress biomarkers glutathio...

The development of antioxidant-active packaging has numerous advantages, such as the reduction of synthetic additives in food, the reduction of plastic waste and food protection against oxidation reactions. Different concentrations of extracts of the plants Caesalpinia decapetala (CD) and Caesalpinia spinosa "Tara" (CS) were incorporated into gelatine films as natural antioxidants. The physical...

Plastic substitute material with biodegradable vegetable plastic in the form of edible film is an alternative for plastics that can decompose naturally. The raw consists corn cob flour and a mixture plasticizers glycerol sorbitol. process mixing materials by means dispersion, heating, printing, drying. Variable corncob 5-9 grams ratio plasticizer glycerol-sorbitol 0.25-4. These characteristics ...

Edible composite packaging has the advantage of complementary functional properties over its individual bio-components. However, film composites made from caseinate (CA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCH) have not yet been well explored. In this study, four types CA-CMCH films were prepared evaluated with without transglutaminase (TGase) supplement. Aqueous CA (8%, w/v) CMCH solutions (2%, mixed...

Edible film merupakan bahan tipis yang dapat dimakan berfungsi untuk melapisi makanan dan melindunginya. Salah satu kekurangan edible pati singkong adalah memiliki laju transmisi uap air tinggi sehingga tidak membatasi pergerakan keluar masuk film. Perbaikan terhadap karakteristik ini dilakukan dengan melakukan kombinasi penyusun bersifat hidrofobik seperti minyak. Penelitian bertujuan mengetah...

The effects of three storage temperatures (1, 3, and 5 1C) were determined on the quality of the edible mushroom Agrocybe chaxingu stored in modified atmosphere packages (MAP) with and without (control) silicon gum film windows. Results showed that the storage temperature had clear effects on headspace gas concentrations of O2, CO2 and ethylene, sensory characteristics, respiration rate, ascorb...

Fresh mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) were inoculated in the stem, gill, or cap with Clostridium botulinum spores. They were placed with uninoculated mushrooms in paper board trays, which were then covered and sealed in a polyvinyl chloride stretch film to simulate prepackaged mushrooms available at retail stores. When incubated at 20 C, botulinum toxin could be detected as early as day 3, or 4,...
