Trends in Encapsulation Technologies for Delivery of Food Bioactive Compounds
(Springer, New York, 2015)
The food industry expects increasingly complex properties (such as delayed release, stability, thermal protection, and suitable sensorial profile) from food ingredients, which often would not be able to be achieved without ...
Biological activity of electrochemically synthesized silver doped polyvinyl alcohol/graphene composite hydrogel discs for biomedical applications
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Silver/poly(vinyl alcohol), Ag/PVA, and silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene, Ag/PVA/Gr, composite hydrogel discs were produced by freezing/thawing, followed by electrochemical reduction of Ag+ ions inside respective matrices, ...
Lignin degradation by selected fungal species
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
As biological decomposition of plant biomass represents a popular alternative environmental-friendly and economically justified process, screening of ligninolytic enzyme systems of various fungal species is a topical study ...
Waste animal fats as feedstocks for biodiesel production
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Biodiesel, an alternate and ecologically acceptable substitute for the conventional fuel, is usually produced from a wide range of edible vegetable oils, which are normally used for human consumption and whose prices are ...
In situ synthesis of Cu/Cu2O nanoparticles on the TEMPO oxidized cotton fabrics
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
In situ synthesis of Cu/Cu2O nanoparticles on the cotton fabric discussed in this study relies on adsorption of Cu2+-ions by carboxylate groups generated through the TEMPO-mediated oxidation of cellulose and their subsequent ...
Lactic acid production on molasses enriched potato stillage by Lactobacillus paracasei immobilized onto agro-industrial waste supports
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
In this study, the production of lactic acid (LA) on sugar beet molasses enriched potato stillage by immobilized Lactobacillus paracasei NRRL B-4564 was examined. Three agro-industrial materials, such as sunflower seed ...
A green approach to starch modification by solvent-free method with betaine hydrochloride
(International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2021)
In this study, a novel simple and eco-efficient, semi-dry method with a spray system for starch modification has been developed. Compared to conventional semi-dry methods, this method does not use solvents so that no slurry ...
Alginate/soy protein system for essential oil encapsulation with intestinal delivery
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Preparation of alginate-soy protein isolate (AL/SPI) complex beads containing essential oil of thyme was carried out by emulsification of thyme oil in aqueous sodium alginate solution blended with SPI solution, followed ...
Achieving high antimicrobial activity: Composite alginate hydrogel beads releasing activated charcoal with an immobilized active agent
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
New composites based on Ca-alginate hydrogels were produced that release activated charcoal (AC) particles with adsorbed povidone iodine (PVP-I) as a model antimicrobial substance in a physiological-like environment. ...
Physico-chemical evaluation of hydrophobically modified pectin derivatives: Step toward application
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2018)
Present study reports synthesis and physico-chemical evaluation of hydrophobically modified pectin derivatives, obtained by reacting of pectin with di-acyl chlorides (glutaryl and sebacoyl chloride). Depending on length ...
