Complex coacervation using proteins and polysaccharides enables efficient microencapsulation with high thermal stability, facilitating continuous core component release yielding coacervates superior properties for diverse applications. This study investigates the use of casein pectin microencapsulating Ocimum basilicum L. essential oil (EO) phenolic extract (PE). Microencapsulation yield efficiency were 85.3% 89.8% EO microcapsules (EO-MC) 53.1% 70.0% PE (PE-MC). Optical microscopy revealed...
Abstract Tensile and viscoelastic properties of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐ 3‐hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx)/zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NP) bionanocomposites prepared by melt compounding at various ZnO‐NP content ratios, i.e., 1.5, 3, 6 wt% are investigated. The study the comprehension structure‐properties relationships with respect to filler allows define an optimized composition PHBHHx/ZnO. results indicate that incorporation led improved tensile overall range, being however, much higher 3...
