The photocatalytic Fenton process, which produces a strong oxidant in the form of hydroxyl radicals, is useful method to degrade organic contaminants water. reaction uses hydrogen peroxide and Fe2+ ions under relatively acidic conditions (typically pH 2–3) maintain solubility iron catalyst but troublesome due large volumes decontaminated yet highly water generated. Starch-stabilized (Fe2+/Fe3+)...

Intelligent packaging is an indicator that has the capability to condition of packaged foods and their environment through indicator. This study aims determine anthocyanin levels, pH sensitivity, solubility, swelling, water content in intelligent based on cassava starch with addition purple sweet potato extract. The method this research separated into two stages, which are extraction developmen...

Ebastine (EBS) is a non-sedating antihistamine with long duration of action. This drug has predominantly hydrophobic property causing low solubility and bioavailability. Surface solid dispersions (SSD) an effective technique for improving the dissolution rate poorly soluble drugs by using hydrophilic water insoluble carriers.
 The present study aims to enhance EBS surface dispersion techni...

In the search for sustainable and ecological alternatives in food packaging, use of starch as one most abundant biopolymer resources to formulate edible films has been studied. Nonetheless, compatibility with other derivatives, such dextrin and/or chemically modified starch, not explored yet. The objective this research was characterize opacity, water vapor barrier capability, thermal propertie...

Pollution and destruction of the environment due to accumulation non-degradable plastics are some most important concerns in world. A significant amount this waste is related polymers used food packaging. Therefore, experts industry have been looking for suitable biodegradable alternatives synthetic polymers. Preparing biocompatible films based on starch a good choice. In study, various factors...

The effect of pretreatment methods (soaking in water, potassium metabisulphite solution, and blanching) and drying methods (sun and oven) on some quality attributes of flour from ten varieties of sweet potato roots were investigated. The quality attributes determined were chemical composition and functional properties. Data obtained were subjected to descriptive statistics, multivariate analysi...

Chemical modifications (citrification, acetylation and phosphorylation) of breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) starch were performed using dual (microwave-assisted chemical) processes, the physicochemical properties, degree substitution in-vitro hydrolysis modified starches evaluated standard methods while changes in molecular structure was assessed Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. T...

Every year the world loses about 50% of fruits and vegetables post-harvest in supply chain. The use biodegradable coatings films with antioxidant properties has been considered an excellent alternative to extend shelf life food. Therefore, objective this work was develop a coating based on yam (Dioscorea rotundata L.) starch-containing lime, fennel, lavender essential oils strawberries (Fragari...
