starch is found in abundance in nature and it is one of the raw materials used for food packaging because of the low price, biodegradability, good mechanical and barrier properties. the recycling ability of coating materials was significantly increased by using edible films and coating in comparison to traditional packaging and it could be an alternative for synthetic films. in this research, t...

conclusions considering the high level of artificial colors found in the samples of this study, preventive measures are essential. results the results showed that several products did not meet the standards. fifty-six out of the 70 (80%) samples examined in the study, namely sunset yellow (60%), tartrazine (57.1%), quinoline yellow (44.28%), azorubine (28.57%), ponceau 4r (8.57%) and allura red...

Canola protein isolate has been suggested as an alternative to other proteins for human food use due to a balanced amino acid profile and potential functional properties such as emulsifying, foaming, and gelling abilities. This is, therefore, a review of the studies on the utilization of canola protein in human food, comprising the extraction processes for protein isolates and fractions, the mo...

Explaining the structure of terrestrial and aquatic food webs remains one of the most important challenges of ecological theory. Most existing models use emergent properties of food webs, such as diversity and connectance as parameters, to determine other food-web descriptors. Lower-level processes, in particular adaptation (whether by behavioral, developmental, or evolutionary mechanisms), are...

introduction: proteins are food ingredients with critical functional properties and participation in developing food products. so far, functional properties of several plant proteins such as pea, chickpea and lentil, groundnut, beach pea and bayberry have been investigated. nowadays, there is an increasing demand for plant proteins because they are available and inexpensive. legume proteins are...

Background and Objectives: Studies on packaged food by activated biopolymer starch films containing antimicrobial material is interesting field of food. Science This study investigates the effect of chitosan and rosemary essential oil on properties of starch films and peanut were packaged in them. Materials and Methods: In this study, composite films based on starch containing 0, 2, 4, 6 and...

The benefits of the Mediterranean diet (MD) for protecting against chronic disorders such as cardiovascular disease are usually attributed to high consumption of certain food groups such as vegetables, and low consumption of other food groups such as meat. The influence of food processing techniques such as food preparation and cooking on the nutrient composition and nutritional value of these ...
