Propolis is a valuable natural resource for extracting various beneficial compounds. This study explores sustainable extraction approach Brazilian green propolis. First, supercritical fluid (SFE) process parameters were optimized (co-solvent: 21.11% v/v CPME, and temperature: 60 °C) to maximize yield, total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant capacity, LOX (lipoxygenase) inhibitory activity. GC–MS analysis identified 40 metabolites in SFE extracts, including fatty acids, terpenoids,...
ABSTRACT This study investigated the development of active gelatin films containing modified curcumin and their application to reduce browning banana peels. Curcumin, a natural antioxidant with limited water solubility, was through antisolvent precipitation, which obtained (MC) increased solubility higher activity. Gelatin different MC concentrations (0.0%, 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 1%) were produced by casting method. The resulting tested for thickness, morphology, crystallinity (XRD), chemical...
The kinetics of supercritical fluid extraction from vegetable raw materials in fixed beds was studied. operational conditions used the ginger oleoresin were pressures 150, 200, and 250 bar, temperatures 20, 30, 40 °C, a solvent flow rate (5.6 ± 0.3) × 10-5 kg/s CO2. A mathematical model obtained differential mass balance bed presented. This considers extract as mixture various groups compounds, classified according to their chemical characteristics. interfacial flux each group compounds...
The high number of foodborne outbreaks in ready-to-eat (RTE) food such as cooked sausages illustrate the importance controlling microbial safety during post-processing stages products. Edible antimicrobial coatings can be applied to after processing and sanitation with goal preventing cross-contamination, decreasing risk illness increasing product shelf-life. In this study, edible hydrogel that present strong activity when combined UV-A light were prepared. hydrogels prepared using either...
In this study, the influence of storage temperature and passive modified packaging (PMP) on respiration rate physicochemical properties fresh-cut Gala apples (Malus domestica B.) was investigated. The samples were packed in flexible multilayer bags stored at 2 °C, 5 7 °C for eleven days. Respiration as a function CO2 O2 concentrations determined using gas chromatography. inhibition parameters estimated mathematical model based Michaelis-Menten equation. following evaluated: total soluble...
