Vegetable sources and agro-industrial residues represent an important source of phenolic compounds that are useful in a wide range applications, especially those with biological activities. Conventional techniques phytochemical extraction have been associated high consumption organic solvents limits the application bioactive extracts, leading to implementation novel technologies using mechanisms such as Ultrasound Assisted Extraction (UAE). In present review, analysis involved variables...
The formation of electrostatic complexes gum Arabic (GA) with chitosan (Ch), two oppositely charged polysaccharides, as a function the biopolymers ratio (RGA/Ch), total concentration (TBconc), pH, and ionic strength, was investigated. conditions under which inter-biopolymer form were determined by using turbidimetric electrophoretic mobility measurements in equilibrium phase quantifying mass precipitated phase. Results indicated that optimum coacervate yield achieved at RGA/Ch = 5,...
Abstract Phycocyanin is a blue natural food colorant with multiple health benefits. Here we propose an efficient phycocyanin extraction method from Arthrospira platensis Mexico. Three methods were applied to optimize the process, using water and buffer as solvents, three pH values at two agitation times. The highest phycocyanin, 54.65 mg/g, was extracted dry biomass solvent ultrasonication bar. optimum condition of determined be 1:50 biomass/solvent ratio for biomass, freeze/thaw 20 min...
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum L. Myrtaceae) is an aromatic plant widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries, rich volatile compounds antioxidants such as eugenol, β-caryophyllene, α-humulene. essential oil has received considerable interest due to its wide application the perfumery, cosmetic, health, medical, flavoring, food industries. relevant biological activities human including antimicrobial, antioxidant, insecticide. This review describes effect of...
Chitosan hydrogels are biomaterials with excellent potential for biomedical applications. In this study, chitosan were prepared at different concentrations and molecular weights by freeze-drying. The sponges physically crosslinked using sodium bicarbonate as a crosslinking agent. X-ray spectroscopy (XPS XRD diffraction), equilibrium water content, microstructural morphology (confocal microscopy), rheological properties (temperature sweep test), cytotoxicity of the (MTT assay) investigated....
ABSTRACT Gelatin/chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels were fabricated with different polymer ratio using the freeze‐drying process. The thermal stability, water state, rheological, and cytotoxic properties of evaluated. Thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetry analyses showed a decomposition onset temperature below 242.7 ± 2.7 °C. samples did not show statistical differences ( p < 0.05) on values. Nonfreezing reached constant value around 1 g water/g polymer. Freezing...
Abstract BACKGROUND Hydrogels are materials with great potential in agricultural applications. Biodegradable hydrogels used as preparations, for example to increase the substratum water capacity, and improve soil structure or agrochemical‐controlled release. This work aimed develop biodegradable based on chitosan, gelatin polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) releasing inulin isolated from Dahlia tubers induce protection chili plants against Phytophthora capsici . The were characterized by absorption...
The consumption of Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 enhances human gastrointestinal health. However. L. viability decreases during food processing, storage, and gastric conditions. In this study, cells were encapsulated by spray drying using gum arabic blended with agave fructans, maltodextrin, inulin, or trehalose as wall materials. Probiotic microcapsules characterized encapsulation efficiency scanning electron microscopy, well the in vitro simulated tract storage conditions (4 20 °C),...
Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that can improve human health. However, probiotics susceptible to adverse effects of processing and storage, their viability decreases during passage through the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, encapsulation processes being developed probiotic survival. This review highlights fundamentals process produce encapsulated probiotics. It also discusses experimental variables impact efficiency under storage conditions (in vitro in vivo). Probiotic...
Nanoemulsions are thermodynamically unstable colloidal systems that encapsulate bioactive substances. In this study, we aimed to produce stable clove essential oil (CEO) nanoemulsions by spontaneous emulsification and compare their cytotoxic activity in vitro. were formed mixing the CEO with medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) nonionic surfactants (Tween 80 or Kolliphor HS 15) into an aqueous solution. The stability of was evaluated during storage at different temperatures (4, 20, 37 °C)....
Clove essential oil is traditionally used as an anesthetic, analgesic, or insecticide, and recently, its applications antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer agent have been explored. Nanoemulsions are thermodynamically unstable dispersions (d < 100 nm) produced by mixing two immiscible phases, which, in many cases, improve the stability biological activities of functional ingredients for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food applications. This research optimized formation clove nanoemulsions...
