Abstract A peak fitting procedure has been implemented for calculating crystallinity in granular starches. This methodology, widely used synthetic polymers, is proposed to better reflect the crystalline content of starches than method normally used, which it assumed that relatively perfect domains are interspersed with amorphous regions. The new approach takes into account irregularities crystals expected exist semicrystalline materials. Therefore, instead assuming background extends up base...
Brown algae are a valuable source of various biopolymers, with alginate standing out as phycocolloid great industrial importance. Although the extraction process is well established on an scale, several innovative and environmentally friendly technologies have been explored to improve efficiency both in terms yields energy solvent consumption. The review aims describe analyze different strategies used extract from brown algae, including pre-treatment methods before extraction. In addition,...
Abstract There has been a growing interest and effort over the last few years in development of novel food packaging concepts, which can play proactive role regarding product preservation, shelf-life extension, even improvement. Several strategies have devised to exert positive action packaged foodstuff, including retention desirable molecules (i.e., aldehydes, oxygen) release substances carbon dioxide, aromas). These new developments generally termed active technologies. However, many these...
Resistant starch (RS) is defined as the fraction of that escapes digestion in small intestine, serving a fermentation substrate for beneficial colonic bacteria. Several studies have been focused on description RS fractions from different varieties, but little attention has paid to process itself that, present work, seems play key role generation enzyme-RS (ERS), determined vitro. High-amylose samples, extruded at two processing conditions, characterized stages vitro using scanning electron...

This study shows the application of electrospinning technique as a viable method for encapsulation and stabilization bifidobacterial strains. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) was used encapsulating material because it is generally recognized safe (GRAS), has high oxygen barrier when dry, water soluble, hence allowing easy recovery bacteria viability testing. A coaxial setup encapsulation, so-obtained electrospun fibers had mean diameter ca. 150 nm. Incorporation B. animalis Bb12 led to decrease in...
Two bioactive compounds, quercetin and ferulic acid, were encapsulated using the electrospinning technique within hybrid amaranth protein isolate (API):pullulan ultrathin fibers. Initially, composition of encapsulation structures was optimized, both in terms matrix components ratio to maximize loading. The morphology thermal stability developed evaluated, as well efficiency distribution fibers antioxidant compounds. Moreover, release characteristics protection ability during an in-vitro...
In the present study, property-enhanced polylactide (PLA) nanocomposites containing bacterial cellulose nanowhiskers (BCNW) were prepared by melt compounding. With aim of improving nanocrystals' dispersion in final processed nanocomposites, these preincorporated either into PLA nanostructured fibers electrospinning or an ethylene vinyl-alcohol copolymer (EVOH) solution precipitation. An optimized nanofiller produced applying preincorporation methods, when compared to direct mixing...
