Water transport in edible films based on hydrophilic materials such as starch, is a complex
phenomenon due to the strong interaction of sorbed water molecules with the polymeric …

Some aspects of GAB monolayer values in foods were reviewed. Literature data on the
stoichiometry of water sorption by proteins and other biopolymers were re-analyzed and a …

The effect of water content on the glass transition temperatures of cassava starch was
determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal …

Water‐in‐oil‐in‐water (W1/O/W2) multiple emulsions with 25% and 35% solids contents
were spray‐dried producing microcapsules with 3.9: 1, 2.6: 1, and 1.4: 1 biopolymers blend …

The aim of the present work was to investigate the moisture sensitivity of films of soy protein
isolate (SPI) blended with poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) and plasticized with glycerol. Water …

Hygroscopic behaviour is an inherent characteristic of natural fibres which can influence
their applications as textile fabrics and composite reinforcements. In this study, the water …

The water sorption capacity (WSC) of starch films containing, or not, glycerol (1: 0.25 starch:
glycerol ratio) and fatty (palmitic, stearic and oleic) acids (1: 0.15 starch: fatty acid ratio) was …

Innovative technologies for the incorporation of nanoparticles into packaging systems are
being studied in order to improve performance properties. The objective of this study was to …

Moisture sorption isotherms of native and ten hydrophobically modified cassava starches
were determined at 25° C using a moisture sorption analyzer in an aw range of 0–0.94 …

Edible films and coatings satisfy a variety of needs and meet specific product challenges for
a large number of food applications. There is a general lack of agreement as to what …
