Active edible films represent one of the current and future trends in the development of new
polymers for selected applications, particularly food packaging. Some biopolymers show …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of functional properties of the
polysaccharide-based component and their application in developing edible film and …

Evaluating the proficiency of complex based polymers in order to increase the bioavailability
and protection of bioactive compounds through nanoencapsulation has been studied during …

In recent years, food packaging has evolved from an inert and polluting waste that remains
after using the product toward an active item that can be consumed along with the food it …

The biocompatible active films were prepared based on nanochitosan (NCh) containing free
and nanoliposome caraway seed extract (NLCE). The produced films were characterized by …

In this study, unmodified lemon peel, as agro-industrial waste, was used to investigate
removal efficiency of copper ions from aqueous solutions and mining wastewater. The …

Although a promising progress has been recently accomplished in polymer science, cell

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the addition of the probiotics rice bran,
inulin and resistant starch (Hi-maize) on the survival of Lactobacillus acidophilus …

Microplastic particles are pollutants in the environment with a potential impact on ecology
and human health. As soon as microplastic particles get in contact with complex (biological) …

This paper highlights the potential of Sargassum algae, recovered from raw beach seaweed
wastes, as a valid source of valuable sodium alginate. Alginate is a biodegradable, highly …
