Increasing environmental awareness has promoted an interest in alternative strategies to common plastics obtained from fossil sources, stimulating research on the use of biodegradable and edible films/coatings renewable sources such as arrowroot starch. This work aimed evaluate starch formation films coatings. concentration (from 1% 5%, mass/mass) film produced by casting resulted increased wat...

Starch is one of the basic ingredients for making edible films (edible coatings), but it tears easily, so needs addition plasticizers. This study aims to make film from durian seed starch (Durio zibethinus Murr) with plasticizers, glycerol and sorbitol determine its characterization. The results showed that best was produced by adding 2.5% (w / v) 2% sorbitol. physical characteristics are respe...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the banana cultivars for their agronomic yield and starch characteristics. experiment carried out in a randomized complete block design, with factorial arrangement two ('BRS Conquista' 'BRS Platina') crop cycles, three plants per treatment, five replicates. Fruit quality were evaluated. showed smaller fruit; however, it had greater marketable ...

in this study, modified starch was used as a fat replacer in the milk. the fat replacer was manufactured from modified starch such as pre-gelatinized and cross–linked starches. modified starches were manufactured by hydrochloric acid and citric acid treatments from potato and wheat and were added to skim milk at concentrations of 0.15%, 0.30% and 0.45%. viscosity, total solid, fat content, titr...

The current investigation was used to improve the rate of dissolution an anti-diarrheal drug i.e., racecadotril (RT) at low pH conditions (i.e., in stomach) by reducing water secretion and electrolyte intestine liquisolid tablets. Different formulations (liquisolid) were prepared using Avicel PH 102 as a carrier. Aerosil 200 coating material sodium starch glycolate disintegrant. Polyethylene gl...

Abstract The freezable- and unfreezable-water contents of corn waxy starches (native, pregelatinized retrograded) were analyzed at various hydration levels (25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85%) using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). unfreezable water also the temperature onset (To), peak (Tp) endset (Te) peaks' in all samples increased with increasing level. Water absorption index (WAI) solubil...

OBJECTIVES The mature jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is consumed in Sri Lanka either as a main meal or a meal accompaniment. However, there is no scientific data on the nutrient compositions of cooked jackfruit meals. Thus, the objective of the study was to carry out a nutritional assessment of a composite jackfruit breakfast meal comprising seeds and flesh. DESIGN A jackfruit meal comp...

Abstract Water purification is considered one of the most essential issues in our lives. Therefore, contamination water surfaces owing to hasty upsurge industrialization has received great global attention because its potential danger human health and eco-system. Particularly, discharge various non-biodegradable contaminants into body—heavy metal ions, organic dyes, pharmaceutical antibiotics, ...

Cereal Chem. 85(6):837–842 The objectives of this research were to develop a rapid method for extracting proteins from mashed and nonmashed sorghum meal using sonication (ultrasound), and to determine the relationships between the levels of extractable proteins and ethanol fermentation properties. Nine grain sorghum hybrids with a broad range of ethanol fermentation efficiencies were used. Prot...

The digestibility of the starch component of raw cereals in newly weaned piglets is highly variable. Reasons for this must be elucidated if the most suitable cereals are to be used. A novel approach was employed, which consisted of assessing the physicochemical properties (rapid visco analysis, water absorption and solubility indices, particle size distribution and in vitro amylolytic digestion...
