Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are an effective antibacterial agent, but their application in food packaging is limited due to easy agglomeration and oxidation. In this study, microcapsules were fabricated using Ginkgo biloba essential oil (GBEO) as core material chitosan type B gelatin biopolymer capsule materials. These then modified with green-synthesized Ag NPs, blended into the polylactic a...

Fish gelatin films made from Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) and Alaska pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) were dried at 4 C, 23 C, 40 C, and 60 C. The tensile, thermal, thermal stability, water sorption, and water vapor permeability properties were examined for cold-cast gelatin films (dried below gelation temperature at 4 C) and hot-cast gelatin films (dried above gelation temperatur...

−− Clarification of apple juice by flocculation and precipitation with bentonite and gelatin is explained on a more systematic basis, essentially through the determination of turbidity and zetapotential. Apple juice was also treated with Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) to remove total polyphenol. Gelatin-particle complex was evaluated as the increase in juice turbidity after the adding of tanni...

A fabrication method of a multifunctional hybrid material is achieved by using the insoluble organic nacre matrix of the Haliotis laevigata shell infiltrated with gelatin as a confined reaction environment. Inside this organic scaffold magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) are synthesized. The amount of MNPs can be controlled through the synthesis protocol therefore mineral loadings starting from 15 w...

37 38 39 Physical, thermal and microstructural properties of whey protein isolate (WPI) and chicken 40 skin gelatin mixtures were investigated. This is a first study on the compatibility of an 41 unutilised gelatin source from chicken skin with a well-characterised food protein. The 42 physical-chemical and rheological properties of chicken skin gelatin alone, were reported in 43 our previous p...

A novel pyranose oxidase (PyOx) biosensor based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)–polyaniline(PANI)/AgCl/ gelatin nanocomposite has been developed for the glucose detection. PyOx was immobilized on the surface of glass...

Stem cells and scaffolds play a very important role in tissue engineering. Here, we isolated synovium-derived mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) from synovial membrane tissue and characterized stem-cell properties. Gelatin nanoparticles (NP) were prepared using a two-step desolvation method and then pre-mixed into different host matrix (silk fibroin (SF), gelatin (Gel), or SF-Gel mixture) to genera...

CdS nanoparticles are II-VI group semiconductor in nature with suitable band gap for photoluminescence and photo-catalyst applications. CdS nanostructures were synthesized via a facile precipitation method in the presence of green capping agents such as starch, glucose, gelatin, salicylic acid in the green solvent of water. The influence of concentration, surfactant, precipitating agent on the ...
