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

Food packaging is an area of interest not just for food producers or food marketing, but also
for consumers who are more and more aware about the fact that food packaging has a great …

The objective of this study was to characterize physical properties including thickness,
colour, water vapour sorption kinetics and isotherms, water vapour permeability, tensile …

The literature is reviewed on the formation and the structure of β-lactoglobulin and whey
protein isolate (WPI) aggregates in aqueous solution induced by heating. The focus is on the …

Effects of plasticizers (glycerol, sorbitol, and 1: 1 mixture of glycerol and sorbitol) on moisture
sorption characteristics of cassava starch films were investigated at three levels of plasticizer …

This article presents a microwave sensor for detecting the water volume fraction in the
glycerol–water solutions. The sensor is designed using a planar transmission line …

Soy protein, which is a by-product of soybean oil extraction, has been used as the carrier of
essential oils in active packaging to inhibit the growth of spoilage microorganisms on food …

Protein films possess good gas barrier properties at low to intermediate relative humidity but
reduced water vapor barrier properties, which limits their application. The introduction of …

Biodegradable films were prepared by using the flour and starch isolated from plantain
bananas of the variety “Terra”(Musa paradisiaca). Since the non-starchy fraction present in …

Antimicrobial films were prepared by incorporating different levels of oregano oil (0.5%,
1.0%, and 1.5% w/w in the film forming solution) into sorbitol-plasticized whey protein isolate …
