Background Edible food packaging, produced from edible polymers, is a kind of packaging
suitable for human consumption along with the contained food. Despite many advantages …

Konjac glucomannan (KGM), a polysaccharide extracted from konjac, is a safe and edible
polysaccharide substance. Many recent studies have reported a series of applications for …

The aim of this study was to develop a zein/potato starch (PS) film based on chitosan
nanoparticles incorporated with curcumin (CCN). The CCN film was characterized for …

A series of konjac glucomannan (KGM)/zein blend films were successfully prepared with
zein in proportions 0–30%. The hydrophobicity of blend films were significantly stronger than …

Present study aims to investigate the effect of nanoparticles (zein nanoparticles,
nanocellulose, nano-TiO 2, nano-SiO 2) incorporation on rheological properties of film …

In daily diet, Whey protein (WP) is often coexisted with various Food functional ingredients
(FFI) such as proteins, polyphenols, polysaccharides and vitamins, which inevitably affect or …

In this study, lycopene microcapsules (LMs) were prepared using chitosan (CS) and
carboxymethyl CS (CMCS) as the wall materials. Sodium alginate (SA) and konjac …

The cutaneous tissue contains cellular protein and polysaccharide components which
together maintain the functionality of the tissue. In this study, silk fibroin (SF) and konjac …

This study explored the formation of composite gels via pH-modulated whey protein isolate
(WPI) and deacetylated konjac glucomannan (KGM) solutions. The physicochemical …

Materials research relating to bio-based polymers and composites has become the order of
the day and several types of research are being undertaken on these materials. This is …
