Starch is one of the most used polysaccharides in formulation Edible Films (EFs). This work aimed to develop starch-based EFs employing extrusion technology as a pretreatment casting technique and evaluate storage relative humidity (RH) effect determine their possible application food coating. Corn starch mixture plasticizers (sorbitol glycerol) were processed twin-screw extruder. The was for f...

background and objectives: preparation and evaluation of nanocomposite films have become prevalent in recent years. depending on the purpose of using the film, and considering the effects and interaction effects of nanomaterial and other modifiers on the film properties, the amounts of nanomaterials and modifiers should be optimized. the effects of montmorillonite (mmt), glycerol (gl), and thei...

In the present work, faba bean protein (FBP) films plasticized with glycerol and reinforced different amounts (2.5, 5.0, 7.5 10% by weight of FBP) lignin extracted from pine cones (PL) have been obtained solution casting. The results showed an elongation at break 111.7% addition 5% PL to FBP film, which represents increase 107% compared control film. On other hand, it was observed thermogravime...

Composite mean fields and probability distribution functions (PDFs) of rain rate, cloud type and cover, cloud-top temperature, surface wind velocity, and water vapor path (WVP) are constructed using satellite observations of midlatitude cyclones from four oceanic regions (i.e., the North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, and South Atlantic). Reanalysis surface pressure fields are used to ...

carboxymethyl cellulose (cmc)-polyvinyl alcohol (pvoh) blend film was produced through casting. cellulose nanowhisker (cnw) was produced by means of acid hydrolysis of cotton linter and cmc-pvoh-cellulose nanowhiskers through which fully degradable bionanocomposites were prepared. prepared nanowhisker suspension contained rod like particles averaging lengths of 240 nm and diameters of 13 nm. an...

there has been a renewed interest in edible films made of renewable and natural polymers such as protein, polysaccharide and lipids. natural polymers derived from natural sources like food protein, offer the greatest opportunities because of their biodegradability and their ability to supplement nutritional value of foods. faba bean is a valuable source of protein and is cultivated in large qua...

the aim of this study was to investigate the rate of water vapor permeability (wvp) and moisture sorption of starch-montmorillonite (mmt) nanocomposite films. the nanocomposite films were prepared using the casting method andglycerol was used as a plasticizer. the effect of glycerol concentration on wvp of the films was determined at 25°c with a relative humidity of 0-99% (inside and outside of...

the effect of dry material, glycerol and ratio of water to seed in alyssum homalocarpum films on their thickness, transparency, moisture content, tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability was investigated using mixture response surface methods. dry material and glycerol were important factors influencing tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability. ratio of water t...

Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a dominant ethylene (C2H4)-scavenger extensively used in fresh horticultural commodities, mainly climacteric fruit, to prolong their shelf life. This material has been traditionally utilized as C2H4-permeable sachet for inclusion into packages of produces. New formulation strategies are required polymeric materials develop nanocomposites with scavenging potenti...
