Condensed tannins (CTs) are high molar mass polyphenolic bio-polymers based on flavonol units.
Eating a healthy diet is important for managing diabetes. Although there are high rates of diabetes in low-income urban areas, these patients often have limited access to fruits and vegetables. The 15-week Fresh Prescription (Fresh Rx) program was designed improve consumption vegetables among with Detroit, MI. purpose this study evaluate the effects fruit vegetable prescription on changes hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI) randomized controlled trial at...
Abstract Simple derivatives of condensed tannins are described, which allow the tailoring gelation (with aldehydes) and thermal degradation behaviors that have been obstacles to commercial utilization this abundant bioresource. Hydroxypropyl tannin (HPT) from bark Pinus pinaster with varying degrees substitution (DS 0.1–4.7) were analyzed regard molecular physical characteristics, such as structure, weight, behavior, solubility gelation. The modification reaction proceeds stoichiometrically...
Novel polylactic acid-based composites were prepared for the first time by melt-blending urethanization using bark polyflavonoids, and polymeric methyl diisocyanate. Rheological, morphological, structural, thermal, mechanical properties studied. Polymerization between polyflavonoids isocyanate during was demonstrated spectroscopy, confocal microscopy, thermal analysis. Polyflavonoids improved blend processability affected acid-crystallization, blend-urethanization, flexural features....
Polylactic acid (PLA) was melt-blended with Pinus radiata unmodified and modified (hydroxypropyled) bark polyflavonoids in order to use such polyphenolic building-blocks as functional additives for envisaged applications.Rheological, morphological, molecular, thermal, flexural properties were studied.Polyflavonoids improved blend processability terms of short-time mixing.Furthermore, hydroxypropylated improve miscibility binary ternary blends.Blend-composition affects crystallization-,...
ABSTRACT Chemical modification of kraft lignin from Pinus caribaea (Sénécl.) W.H.G. was performed with cyclic anhydrides (succinic, maleic and glutaric) assisted by microwave radiation. Esterification the proven mass increase Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Aqueous suspensions bentonite were prepared using unmodified corresponding derivatives as dispersants. Suspensions evaluated in term stability, viscosity dispersibility. The esterified showed better dispersing properties...
