This work was focused on studying the changes undergone by heat-treated chitosan films with and without tannic acid addition monitoring both microstructure physical properties. Once were submitted to different heat treatments, they exhibited higher barrier properties as well lower water uptake, solubility, moisture content. These results also confirmed through X-ray patterns, which changed from hydrated anhydrous conformation, sharper FTIR peaks specifically associated water, shift of Tg...
This work was focused on analyzing the effect produced by addition of tannic acid as a crosslinking agent chitosan matrix and influence heat treatment applied. Taking into account those aspects relevant for packaging applications, thermal stability, mechanical properties, water resistance kinetics biodegradation film were monitored. The chemical well curing matrices have improved properties related to affinity such solubility, permeability contact angle. Although both processes had an extent...
PLA coating on Kraft paper is very promising systems for food packaging, and has potential environmental advantages over conventional synthetic coatings. This work was focused on: (i) analyzing the physicochemical, thermal microstructural properties of films; (ii) developing studying multilayer obtained by impregnation with different layers solution; (iii) evaluating influence support cellulosic properties. The improves packaging material performance hence functional paper. hygroscopic...
The incorporation of suspensions nanoparticles functionalized with gallic acid (GA) was used as a strategy to obtain nanocomposite active films different both chitosan : tripolyphosphate (CH TPP) and nanoparticles:chitosan (N CH) ratios. thermal analysis carried out by modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) allowed observing the shift an endothermic event towards higher temperatures greater N CH ratio. Analyzing ATR‐FTIR spectra through principal component (PCA) can be inferred...
The influence of natural antioxidants incorporated to biodegradable materials has become a focus attention in the current food packaging research and development. Chitosan is functional polymer extensively used for tailoring systems or matrices different active compound delivery. This work was focused on studying changes undergone by chitosan matrix because addition ferulic acid as an antioxidant. Thus, both microstructure physical properties such solubility, thermal stability, mechanical...
