Crosslinking methods have been used to improve the properties of soy protein-based films for various applications, such as meat packaging. Some crosslinking that reported in literature include boiling milk, baking protein isolates, adding canola and sorghum proteins, incorporating Plantago major seed mucilage Anethum graveolens essential oil, pine needle extract (PNE), montmorillonite citric ac...

Seven phenolic compounds, including a new phenylethanoid glycoside, were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of an aqueous ethanol extract of Plantago Herb (whole part of Plantago asiatica L.), which showed significant antioxidative activity. The new compound was characterized as 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl 3-O-β-D-allopyranosyl-6-O-caffeoyl-β-D-glucopyranoside on the basis of spectral an...
