Biodegradable polymers obtained from renewable resources, such as chitosan and collagen, are sustainable alternatives to develop environmentally friendly materials. Due their abundance, biocompatibility antimicrobial properties, collagen could become a suitable source for food biomedical applications. In particular, formulations used packaging purposes intelligent with the aim of providing information about quality packaged product or prepare active extend shelf life. this regard,...
The aim of this work was to assess the effect fish gelatin-citric acid nucleophilic substitution and agar-citric esterification reactions on properties agar/fish gelatin films. Since temperature is an important cross-linking parameter, films were treated at 90 °C 105 film compared those non-cured It observed that favored aforementioned reactions, which induced physical morphological changes. In regard, darker with a rougher surface obtained for higher degree. While mechanical slightly...
Chitosan-pectin films with iron oxide (Fe3O4) magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by solution casting in order to produce biopolymer based magnetically active materials. Infrared (FTIR) spectra indicated physical interactions between the matrix and nanoparticles, corroborated differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results. In addition, thermal characterization suggested that chitosan, pectin resulted a less compact structure, influencing film mechanical properties. Regarding...
3D printing can be used to develop texture-modified foodstuffs that are nutritious and appealing meet the demands of special consumer needs such as those elderly with swallowing disorders (dysphagia). In this work, vegetable-containing protein-based food different internal structures (infill rates 12.5, 25, 50%) was elaborated using printing. First, doughs soy protein isolate (SPI) content (20, 25 30 w/v %) were prepared select dough most suitable shape fidelity after being printed in an...
Edible mealworms can be farmed to produce high-quality nutrients and proteins, useful as ingredients in human animal foods. During this process biological waste is produced. This work explores the usage of source chitin chitosan with different potential applications. Different fractions were processed, feasibility isolation was assessed. Chitosan derived, films fabricated tested for intended uses. Data indicate that biopolymers properties obtained from multiple fractions. All samples show...
