Cinnamon essential oil (CEO) was successfully encapsulated into chitosan (CS) nanoparticles at different loading amounts (1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5% v/v) using oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion and ionic-gelation methods. In order to form active packaging, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was used to fabricate PLA/CS-CEO composite fibers using a simple electrospinning method. The shape, size, zeta potential, and ...

Carter, Carlos, Devon M.S., Purdue University, December 2016. Antibacterial Activity of Essential Oil Encapsulated Sodium Iota-Carrageenan Fibers. Major Professors: Dr. Arun K. Bhunia & Dr. Srinivas Janaswamy Spoilage microorganisms cause food waste and loss of quality. While the foodborne pathogen outbreaks lead to thousands of hospitalizations and deaths. Essential oils (EOs), plant extracts,...

*Key Laboratory of Processing Agricultural Products of Heilongjiang Province, Qiqihar University, 161006 Qiqihar, P. R. China Corresponding Author: Liu Xiaolan E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract “GB/T 20944.3-2008--Part 3: Shake flask method” was applied to assess the antimicrobial property of flax fibres. The antimicrobial efficiency of flax fibre was represented as t...

Spider major ampullate silk fibers have been shown to display a unique combination of relatively high fracture strength and toughness compared to other fibers and show potential for tissue engineering scaffolds. While it is not possible to mass produce native spider silks, the potential ability to produce fibers from recombinant spider silk fibers could allow for an increased innovation rate wi...

Physical, mechanical and antimicrobial properties of nylon 6 (polycaprolactam) doped with different amounts of silver nanoparticles were investigated in this study. Two series of filament yarns counts (20 and 70 Denier) were produced by melt spinning method with different amounts of silver nanoparticles contents (0, 0.5, 1 and 4 wt%). Elemental analysis of silver and titanium dioxide (present i...

Antibacterial Fabrics In article number 2201061, Eduardo Barbieri, Stefano Menegatti, and colleagues present scalable methods to produce antibacterial fabrics by functionalizing nonwoven fiber mats with antimicrobial peptides polymers. Microgels are photo-crosslinked on nonwovens fibers utilized load release peptides. Selected affording sustained of show activity against bacteria Staphylococcus...
