The aims of this work were to develop gelatin films using glycerol as plasticizer (0-100% based on protein mass) and to establish relationships between glycerol content and structural, barrier, thermal and mechanical film ...

Nanolaminated films were formulated by coating a hydrophilic film with a lipid nanolayer. This was performed by coating a starch film with sunflower oil, due to favourable interfacial forces that interact between the oil ...

In the present study, high amylose corn starch (HACS) based films were obtained with a low temperature method consisted on reduce gelatinization temperature by an alkaline pretreatment of starch. Effects of film composition ...

The formulation of bilayer films is a strategy aimed at combining the advantages and properties of different film-forming materials. Bilayer films based on pectin and brea gum were formulated and their functional properties ...

Highly ordered mesoporous ZrO2 thin films were prepared by evaporation induced self-assembly. Complexing agents and low pH were simultaneously employed in order to control the hydrolysis-condensation kinetics, permitting ...

Edible films were developed using different starch sources (corn starch and amylomaize). Starch suspensions were cold gelatinized with NaOH; either glycerol or sorbitol were used as plasticizer. Films were characterized ...

Plasticized and unplasticized chitosan films with tannic acid addition were developed. The crosslinking capacity of tannic acid was studied by evaluating both the structural modification produced on chitosan films and its ...

Films made from sodium caseinate and/or chitosan, using glycerol as plasticizer, were prepared by casting from aqueous solutions. Films cryo-fractured surfaces were examined by SEM. FTIR spectra of the chitosan/caseinate ...

Amaranth protein–lipid (PL) and protein (P) films were elaborated and compared with amaranth flour films in order to determine the contribution of the interactions between the biopolymer (starch and protein) and the lipids ...
