Utilization of galactomannan from Gleditsia triacanthos in polysaccharide-based...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the concentrations of Gleditsia triacanthos galactomannan and glycerol and the presence of corn oil in the physical properties of edible films. The influence of interactions between those constituents on films' permeability to gases (water vapour, CO2 and O2), solubility in water, mechanical properties and colour was evaluated. The effects of those variab...

Biocomposite films based on κ-carrageenan/locust bean gum blends and clays : ph...

The aims of this work were to evaluate the physical and antimicrobial properties of biodegradable films composed of mixtures of κ-carrageenan (κ-car) and locust bean gum (LBG) when organically modified clay Cloisite 30B (C30B) was dispersed in the biopolymer matrix. Film-forming solutions were prepared by adding C30B (ranging from 0 to 16 wt.%) into the κ-car/LBG solution (40/60 wt.%) with 0.3 % (w/v) of glycer...

Effects of moderate electric fields on aggregation of whey protein solutions an...

Synergistic effects between κ-carrageenan and locust bean gum on physicochemica...

The development of mixed systems, formed by locustbeangum (LBG), and κ-carrageenan (κ-car) can offer new interesting applications such as the development of ediblefilms with particular properties. κ-car/LBG blend films with different ratios were developed, and their effects on films’ physical properties were assessed. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, dynamic mechanical analysi...

Chemical characterization and antioxidant activity of sulfated polysaccharide f...

Hydrocolloids from seaweeds have interesting functional properties, such as antioxidant activity and gelling ability. A polysaccharide was isolated by aqueous extraction at 90 C from the red seaweed Gracilaria birdiae (Gb), with a yield of 27.2% of the seaweed dry weight. The sulfate content of the polysaccharide was 8.4% and the main sugars present were galactose (65.4 mol%), 3,6-anhydrogalactose (25.1 mol%) a...

Effect of glycerol and corn oil on physicochemical properties of polysaccharide...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of glycerol and corn oil on physicochemical properties of polysaccharide-based films. The polysaccharides used were galactomannan from Gleditsia triacanthos and chitosan. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis were performed, together with determinations of moisture content, solubility, water va...

Nanoemulsions of β-carotene using a high-energy emulsification-evaporation tech...

Nanoemulsions of β-carotene were prepared using a high-energy emulsification-evaporation technique based on a 23 level factorial design. Results show that it is possible to obtain dispersions at a nanoscale range. Process parameters such as time and shear rate of homogenization affected significantly particle size distribution in terms of volume-weighted mean diameter and surface-weighted mean diameter. The obt...

Structural and thermal characterization of galactomannans from non-conventional...

Galactomannans of Gleditsia triacanthos, Caesalpinia pulcherrima and Adenanthera pavonina were structurally and thermally characterized. Methylation analyses confirmed that these three galactomannans are composed by a 4-linked mannose polymer with galactose side chains attached at the C6 position. G. triacanthos galactomannan had an estimated average degree of polymerization of 224 mannose residues, with a degr...

Influence of concentration, ionic strength and pH on zeta potential and mean hy...

Polysaccharide multinanolayers are becoming a new and general means of modifying and functionalizing surfaces of several materials. This is achieved through changing the interfacial properties of those surfaces followed by sequential adsorption of e.g., polysaccharides. Knowledge of properties of polysaccharide solutions such as zeta potential (Zp) and mean hydrodynamic diameter (Z-average) is crucial to obtain...

Galactomannans use in the development of edible films/coatings for food applica...

Innovations constantly appear in food packaging, always aiming at creating a more efficient quality preservation system while improving foods’ attractiveness and marketability. The utilization of renewable sources for packaging materials, such as hydrocolloids from biological origin, is one the main trends of the industry. Edible films/coatings have been considered as one of the potential technologies that can...
