Background Plant-based proteins as an alternative to synthetic polymers have attracted the
interest of the global packaging industry in the last decade due to their biodegradability …

In food industry, a growing concern is the use of suitable packaging material (ie,
biodegradable coatings and films) with enhanced thermal, mechanical and barrier …

Biopolymers are mainly the polymers which are created or obtained from living creatures
such as plants and bacteria rather than petroleum, which has traditionally been the source of …

Polysaccharides, such as pectin, starch, alginate, carrageenan, and xanthan gum, have
been used as biopolymer materials to create coatings and edible films to reduce traditional …

The greater awareness of non-renewable natural resources preservation needs has led to
the development of more ecological high-performance polymeric materials with new …

Semi-refined kappa-carrageenan (SRC) based edible films plasticized with glycerol or
sorbitol at 20, 25 and 30%(w/w) were prepared and characterized. SRC films containing …

In this study, extrusion was used to induce Maillard reaction between soy protein isolate
(SPI) and oat β-glucan (OG) and effect of extrusion temperature (70, 90, 110 and 130° C) on …

Physical and mechanical properties of edible films based on blends of sago starch and fish
gelatin plasticized with glycerol or sorbitol (25%, w/w) were investigated. Film forming …

This study investigated relationship between secondary structure and surface
hydrophobicity of soy protein isolate (SPI) subjected to a thermal treatment at 70~ 90° C …

Recently, there is an increasing interest of using bio-based polymers instead of conventional
petroleum-based polymers to fabricate biodegradable materials. Soy protein isolate (SPI), a …
