Halochromic and antioxidant capacity of smart films of chitosan/chitin nanocrystals with curcuma oil and anthocyanins
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Curcuma longa L. essential oil and anthocyanin extracts contain bioactive compounds such as antioxidant properties and their pigments are able to change color when exposed to different pH or ammonium gas. In this context, ...
Understanding the effects of copolymerized cellulose nanofibers and diatomite nanocomposite on blend chitosan films
(Elsevier, 2021-11-01)
Chitosan films lack various important physicochemical properties and need to be supplemented with reinforcing agents to bridge the gap. Herein, we have produced chitosan composite films supplemented with copolymerized (with ...
Life Cycle Assessment of various biorefinery approaches for the valorisation of almond shells
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
In the near future, sustainable and efficient biorefineries would be essential for the production of commodity chemicals and high-added value compounds. Therefore, in this work, six scenarios differing on the delignification ...
Eco-friendly isolation and characterization of nanochitin from different origins by microwave irradiation: optimization using response surface methodology
(Elsevier, 2021-07-09)
[EN] The extraction of nanochitin from marine waste has attracted great industrial interest due to its unique properties,
namely biodegradability, biocompatibility and as a functional reinforcing agent. Conventional acid ...
Effect of Deterpenated Origanum majorana L. Essential Oil on the Physicochemical and Biological Properties of Chitosan/β-Chitin Nanofibers Nanocomposite Films
(MDPI, 2021-05-07)
Herein, the effect of three deterpenated fractions from Origanum majorana L. essential oil on the physicochemical, mechanical and biological properties of chitosan/β-chitin nanofibers-based nanocomposite films were ...
Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Curcuma longa L. Oil: Optimization, Chemical Structure and Composition, Antioxidant Activity and Comparison with Conventional Soxhlet Extraction
(MDPI, 2021-03-10)
Curcuma root (Curcuma longa L.) is a very important plant in gastronomy and medicine for its unique antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Conventional methods for the extraction of curcuma ...
