Casein nanomicelles, a major fraction of milk protein, are emerging as a novel drug delivery
system owing to their various structural and functional properties. Casein is further divided …

This work provides a critical overview of the recent trends toward the development of
modern, dissolving pulp production technologies that respond to the current challenges and …

Background The use of biopolymers for the delivery of functional food ingredients and
pharmaceuticals has increased dramatically. In this context a great attention has been paid …

This work investigated changes in the chemical composition and structure of soybean straw
(SS) treated with alkali (NaOH 5% and 17.5%) and bleached with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O …

Flexible hybrid caprolactam-casein/ZnO nanocomposite (CCZ) was prepared by in-situ
polymerization method. The micro morphology and structure were characterized using DLS …

Continuous challenges of non-biodegradability, non-renewability, non-biocompatibility and
health concerns of petroleum-based packaging materials have shifted the focus of food …

Researchers are focusing their efforts on developing high-performance bio-based
composites due to increased interest in the production of natural fiber-based polymer …

This study presents a novel fully enzymatic process for the controlled depolymerisation of
fungal and shrimp chitosan, and their subsequent use in the synthesis of lignin cross-linked …

As a means to alter the physical properties of electrospun zein fibers, plasticizers (glycerol,
lactic acid, and oleic acid) or co-proteins (casein, whey protein, rice protein) were mixed with …

Replacement of existing plastics derived from non-renewable and petrochemical sources
will require the creation of new environmentally friendly polymers. Natural products such as …
