The effects of CO2 injection and barrel temperatures on the physiochemical and antioxidant properties of extruded cereals (sorghum, barley, oats, and millet) were studied. Extrusion was carried out using a twin-screw extruder at different barrel temperatures (80, 110, and 140°C), CO2 injection (0 and 500 mL/min), screw speed of 200 rpm, and moisture content of 25%. Extrusion significantly incre...

Edible films (EF) can be produced and developed for preservation of fruits vegetables. Starch has been considered one the biopolymers with greatest potential to produce edible by different processing techniques such as extrusion-casting. The objetive was study effect calcium carbonate nanoparticles plasticizers (sorbitol- glycerol (80-20%; w/w)) (by extrusion (EXT)-casting (CT) combination tech...

Abstract Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) is an ideal raw material for oil extraction, but starch-rich tiger meal, a by-product of has not been fully utilized. For this, starch was isolated from and then nanoparticles were prepared by gelatinization, ultrasonication nanoprecipitation under different conditions. The preparation parameters optimized measuring the particle size with dynamic light...

Domperidone Maleate (DOM), an antiemetic drug, has been used in treatment of adults and children. It has low aqueous solubility and hence low bioavailability. In present study, an attempt has been made to enhance the solubility of DOM by inclusion complexation with Hydroxypropyl-βCyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) using kneading technique and formulation of fast disintegrating tablets by using Sodium Starc...

Starch encapsulation has been proposed as a method for controlling the rate at which pesticides are released into the soil. Relatively ittle is known about what environmental f ctors influence controlled release. A series of laboratory studies were initiated to improve our understanding of how water potential, temperature, and soil microbial activity influence rate of release of starch-encapsul...

The traditional hematite depressant starch has the disadvantages of poor solubility and high viscosity. In this study, a novel depressant, pullulan, with better performance flotation effect than was found. structure, molecular weight viscosity pullulan were determined for its characterization. results tests revealed that separation hematite-quartz by hematite-quartz. selective depression mechan...

Some properties of biodegradable edible films developed from starches acha (Digitalia exilis) and iburu iburua), with glycerol as plasticizer, were evaluated compared. Scanning electron microscope revealed that starch film (ASF) had rougher surface larger size spores. Both showed similar crystallinity pattern made up A-type cereal backbone process induced VH-crystals. FTIR spectroscopy the trac...

Environmental concerns about increasing industrial use of plastics and the associated waste are raising the demand for renewable sources to replace petroleum-based products, especially in the packaging sector. This thesis examined the relationship between molecular structures of starch and their material properties in coating materials for food packaging. Chemical modification of starch with ci...

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of a saponin-based surfactant, Grain Prep surfactant (GP), and hot flake aging time on starch characteristics and ruminal DM and starch degradability of steam-flaked corn grain. In 2 experiments, the moisture content of incoming corn was automatically adjusted using the Grain Prep Auto Delivery System to 19.8% (Exp. 1) and 18.5% (Exp. ...

Monolayer films based on cassava starch (CS) or maize (MS), with and without 10% of gellan xanthan gum, PLA-PHBV (75:25) blend films, were obtained by melt-blending compression moulding, using glycerol (for blends) PEG 1000 polyester as plasticisers. Bilayer thermo-compression the different sheets sheet. Both mono bilayers characterised to their mechanical barrier properties, equilibrium moistu...
