Background Recent research advances in food packaging focus on developing sustainable
and biodegradable alternatives to conventional petroleum-based materials that underlie the …

Edible films and coatings, despite their practical applications, have only entered the food
industry in the last decade. Their main functions are to protect the food products from …

The effect of pullulan (PUL) on the retrogradation of rice starch (RS) was investigated by
means of rapid visco-analyzer (RVA), rotational rheometer, differential scanning calorimetry …

Understanding of the rheological behavior of sodium alginate (SA) is fundamental either to
design optimized products or to ensure stable flows. Of the SA samples tested that …

An innovative approach was performed to prepare novel pullulan/starch blended edible
films by direct incorporation of multiple probiotic bacterial strains. Various starches different …

Tara gum (TG)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blend films were prepared by a casting method. The
films were characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning …

The chitosan gallates (CG) were obtained by free-radical-initiated grafting of gallic acid (GA)
onto chitosan (CS) in this work. The chemical structures of the CG were corroborated by UV …

Societal and industrial demands for lower environmental impact, cost effectiveness, and
high‐performance goods and services are increasingly impacting the choice of technologies …

Pullulan is a non-ionic, linear, water-soluble and a neutral polysaccharide. It is composed of
α-(1, 6) repeated maltotriose units via α-(1, 4) glycosidic bond having chemical formula (C 6 …

Marine algae are interesting as a plentiful source of many bioactive compounds, including
polysaccharides, which represent various structurally different polymers of high diversity in …
