Oxidation is the main problem in preserving food products during storage. A relatively novel strategy use of antioxidant-enriched edible films. Antioxidants hinder reactive oxygen species, which mainly affect fats and proteins food. At present, these films have been improved by addition micro- nanoliposomes coated with carbohydrate polymers, are not hazardous for human health can be ingested without risk. The liposomes loaded different antioxidants, their effects observed as a longer storage...

Liposomes are microstructures containing lipid and aqueous phases employed in the encapsulation delivery of bioactive agents. Quercetin-loaded liposomes (QLLs) were coated with three different polysaccharides then tested as radical scavengers. Lactose (LCQLL), chitosan (CCQLL), inulin (ICQLL) coating materials. Particle size determined by light scattering, showed primary 200 nm for all samples, while a secondary particle 600 was observed CCQLL. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) evidenced...

Flow boiling into micro-channels is a good option of cooling solutions for electronic devices. Numerical simulations allow designing correctly before manufacturing. In this paper, the results steady-state one-dimensional simulation are presented single horizontal circular 1-mm tube. Through refrigerant flows, two regions distinguished: subcooled liquid flow and two-phase flow. Typical equations correlations have been used flow; while one theoretical model has The here those by using...
