Nonbiodegradable food packaging films are made from plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene, which can take hundreds of years to decompose create environmental hazards. On the other hand, biodegradable renewable materials corn starch or cellulose, that degrade within a few weeks months prove be more sustainable environmentally friendly. In this work, we used hydrolyzed (CSH) with α-amylase prepare film properties. The was tested for 60 days at different accelerated temperatures...
Abstract In the present research biocomposites based on extracts of collagen and keratin recovered from leather industry by-products were made specific properties for applications in agriculture studied. To this aim, have been extracted bovine sheep wool added crosslinked with recognized compounds reduced environmental impact (glycerol, vegetable tanning extract, essential oils fungicidal insecticides). The biocomposite evaluated basis complex analytical investigations chemical structure,...
Raw materials, such as collagen and chitosan, obtained from by-products the food industry (beef hides crustacean exoskeletons), can be used to obtain collagen-chitosan composite biomaterials, with potential applications in regenerative medicine. Functionalization of these biomaterials is a possibility, thus, resulting molecule medicine, namely clotrimazole (a antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor activity), at mass ratio (collagen-chitosan-clotrimazole) 1:1:0.1. This functionalized...
In this work thyme and coriander oil were encapsulated using complex coacervation microencapsulation technique.The influence of various parameters on encapsulation efficiency was investigated. The release characteristic the essential oils from microcapsule studied.
Although its high protein content, bioactive compounds, and dietary fibers have many health benefits, lupine (Lupinus sp.) was undervalued as a resourceful plant. In the last years, however, number of studies on use potential food ingredient has increased. this study, obtaining sweet concentrate (SLPC) hydrolysate with degree hydrolysis (DH) simultaneous low intensity bitterness pursued. The experimental design carried out, according to Taguchi methodology, using three parameters: enzyme...
Abstract This paper discusses the synthesis of a glycerol ketal compound obtained from condensation reaction cyclohexanone with catalyzed by solid superacid. The superacid SO 4 2 -/TiO -La O 3 was prepared using coprecipitation and impregnation method characterized X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy elemental analysis. surface acidity measured analysis adsorbed n-butylamine. In order to achieve optimal conditions, five impact factors: molar...

The increasing demand for sustainable packaging materials has driven the exploration of biodegradable alternatives to synthetic plastics. This study investigates thermal and mechanical properties starch-based films plasticized with varying concentrations glycerol sorbitol. Cornstarch were prepared sorbitol plasticizers in different ratios, their physical characteristics, including swelling index, water solubility, stability, assessed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),...
Biochar can be used as an alternative and efficient adsorbent for organic inorganic pollutants. Therefore, based on previous study in which, a biochar loaded with mixed metal oxides of iron, tin or titanium catalysts results by-product levulinic esters synthesis from biomass carbohydrates, this paper aim was to test residue the retention phosphate water samples. The obtained adsorbents Fe2O3-SnO2 Fe2O3-La2O3-TiO2 were characterized by FT-IR TGA analyses. effects dosage, initial...
The production of biogas from animal waste is not only a way to reduce quantities but also generate thermal or electrical energy in sustainable manner, thereby contributing environmental preservation and diversification sources. Through combustion, can electricity heat, providing sustainable, renewable, environmentally friendly source. It was observed that manure different species exhibit varying rates, certain types lead higher more consistent levels. experimental set-up recorded efficient...
This study investigated the combined alkaline and enzymatic hydrolysis of eggshell membranes for obtaining ingredients food cosmetic applications. 1.25 N NaOH Alcalase 2.4 L protease were used membrane hydrolysis. The characterization hydrolysates consisted determination degree hydrolysis, oligopeptides, free amino acids obtained through was 14.23%. Analytical techniques such as reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, hydrophilic interaction chromatography, FT-IR...
The synthesis of N,N,N�,N��tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) in two steps was approached, using as a basic raw material ethylenediamine, this one being acetylated the first step with acetic acid to give N,N��diacetylethylenediamine (DAED), DAED afterward anhydride up TAED; both process are accomplished xylene medium. purification product is made from mixture and ethanol, giving TAED purity that allows it be used detergent disinfectant mixtures. activation capacity peroxidic compounds tested...
