The potential use of chitosan films as a replacement to synthetic polymers in food packaging applications is receiving remarkable attention due their biodegradability and antimicrobial properties. This study presents the preparation composite from polymeric matrices, rice straw nano fibres reinforcements. were produced via wet mixing casting techniques with various reinforcement contents (25–35 wt%). aim this research investigate physical, mechanical, chemical, thermal properties synthesized...
Starch-based bioplastics offer a promising alternative to conventional plastics. However, they exhibit certain limitations, notably in terms of mechanical strength and barrier properties. These challenges could potentially be addressed through the incorporation nanocellulose as reinforcing agent. In this study, we fabricated bioplastic films using casting blending approach, employing highly linear pure amylose (AM) combination with cellulose nanofibers (CNF) or nanocrystals (CNC) at various...
Fresh meat and fish are widely consumed foods with short very shelf lives, respectively. Efficient supply chains the judicious use of food packaging most effective means extending life thus reducing waste improving safety. Food that allows for a modified atmosphere (MAP) is in period where both palatable safe. However, monitoring state aging onset spoilage product poses challenges. Microbial counts, pH measurements, sensory evaluations all informative but destructive therefore only useful...
The use of biodegradable materials for shopping bag production, and other products made from plastics, has recently been an object intense research-with the aim reducing environmental burdens given by conventional materials. Chitosan is a potential material because its biocompatibility, degradability, non-toxicity. It semi-natural biopolymeric produced deacetylation chitin, which second most abundant natural biopolymer (after cellulose). Chitin found in exoskeleton insects, marine...
Binary and ternary blends of amylose (AM), polylactic acid (PLA), glycerol were prepared using a Pickering emulsion approach. Various formulations AM/PLA with low PLA contents ranging from 3% to 12% mixed AM matrix reinforced 25% cellulose nanofibers (CNF), PLA-grafted (g-CNF), the latter enhance miscibility. Polymeric films fabricated through solvent casting characterized Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS),...
Chitosan is one of the most widespread biopolymer materials available in nature which extracted from chitin. The main source chitosan chitin that exoskeletons crustacean, such as shrimp and crabs, are found a huge amount shells waste produced seafood companies around world. has several applications pharmaceutical, fertilizer edible coating food industries. quality chitosan's depends on its extraction method, so this research work we have studied effect grounding shell before step. chemical...
High-amylose maize starch (HAS) was used to produce a fibrous 3D network nanosystem aiming at providing an efficient and stable emulsion stabilizer characterized by being robust against storage, freeze-thawing, high temperatures mechanical shearing. This approach is principally different from the usually applied stabilization systems based on surfactants or small solid particles. Here, we utilized sodium hydroxide-based low-temperature, chemical gelatinization protocol minimize molecular...
A massive outburst in the manufacturing of synthetic plastic has occurred due to its availability, durability and low-cost relative glass, paper fabric. In order combat pollution phenomenon, it is impossible eliminate use disposable products; however, could be replaced with an eco-friendly substitute. This study presents a comparison between different composite films natural reinforcements. The matrices reinforcements were produced from chitosan extracted shrimp shells waste rice straw...
