The aim of this work has been to explore the potential blending polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) with casein hydrolysates (HCas) obtain self-standing films capable act as carriers lactic acid bacteria (LAB) biocontrol agents against food pathogens. For purpose, PVOH was blended HCas at different weight ratios and blends were incorporated Lactococcus lactis Lactobacillus sakei. Blending resulted in modi...

Hemicellulose from a wide range of sources and abundant reserves shows good biocompatibility, degradability, renewability. Because its low degree polymerization large amount hydroxyl groups, hemicellulose-based films exhibit strength tend to be hydrophilic, which hinders some potential applications. Therefore, with improved barrier properties are needed. In this study, nano-SiO2 was incorporate...

Surface-modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have gained substantial interest in industry. The renewability and abundance of the raw material to prepare CNCs make them a promising green material. In this study, two types were prepared by sulfuric acid (H2SO4) stepwise H2SO4 choline chloride-citric (ChCl-CA) deep eutectic solvent-like (DES) treatments. DES treatment led esterification further ...

There is a current demand for novel active food packaging solutions using biodegradable materials and no chemical antimicrobial compounds, to ensure quality safety. This work involved the incorporation of Salmonella Enteritidis bacteriophage Felix O1, potential use as an anti-Salmonella agent, into polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) coatings fibers deposited by casting electrospinning on polyhydroxybutyr...

the present study used a constant level of citric acid and polyvinyl alcohol and different amounts of nanocrystalline cellulose (cnc) and tio2 nanoparticles to improve the properties of starch film. the effect of different amounts of glycerol was also examined. the results of differential scanning colorimetry demonstrated that the addition of cnc increased the melting and glass transition tempe...

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) based water-soluble packaging with intentional disposal into wastewater provides great convenience for both households and industry. In this paper, we demonstrate CO2 evolution testing that only insignificant fractions (~2%) of PVOH biodegrade in within 33 days. To avoid unintentional environmental build-up the accompanying consequences to marine life, alternative mat...
