This study investigated the physicochemical and mechanical properties of a novel edible film based on chia mucilage (CM) hydrocolloid. CM (1% w/v) films were prepared by incorporation three concentrations glycerol (25%, 50%, 75% w/w, weight). As concentration increased, water vapor permeability (WVP), elongation at break (EB), solubility increased while their tensile strength (TS), Young's modulus (YM) decreased significantly (p<0.05). containing high slightly reddish yellowish in color but...
The objective of this study is to evaluating the Brazilian biodiversity through physicochemical characterization and determination antioxidant potential three species from Myrtaceae family, namely yellow guava (Psidium cattleyanum Sabine), guabiroba (Campomanesia xanthocarpa O. Berg), uvaia (Eugenia pyriformis Cambess). Guabiroba had greater quantity phenolic compounds (9033 mg chlorogenic acid/100 g) vitamin C (30.58 mg/g) showed best TSS/TTA (total soluble solid/total titratable acid)...
The aim of this study was to produce bixin nanocapsules by the interfacial deposition preformed poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL). PCL (250 mg), capric/caprylic triglyceride (400 μL), sorbitan monostearate (95 mg) and were dissolved in a mixture acetone (60 mL) ethanol (7.5 under stirring (40 °C). This organic solution added aqueous (130 containing Tween 80 (195 mg). size distributions formulations with concentration from 11 100 μg/mL evaluated periodically during 3 weeks storage at ambient...
Orange fiber was used as a novel fat replacer in light lemon ice cream. Nine cream formulations were compared: standard control (IC); with (F1) from the peel, bagasse, and orange seed (ICA ICB); (F2) peel alone (ICC ICD); (F3) pretreated hydro-distillation (ICE ICF); (F4) (ICG ICH).The reduced content (50 %) overrun ratio increased hardness, gumminess, springiness values, but it did not affect adhesiveness odor of samples. The samples 1.0 % showed low melting rate values than those overall...
