Biopolymers to mitigate the environmental impact
(Universidad Mayor, 2019-11)
The aim of this work was to show some possible solutions to the environmental pollution due to the plastic problem. The strategy was to presentsome alternatives that, to our understanding, are more likely to be appliedin ...
Biosynthesis of emulsan biopolymers from agro-based feedstocks
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2007-03-03)
Aims: The need for biocompatible, biodegradable, and versatile biopolymers permeates many fields including environmental and food technology. The goal of the study presented here is to establish the utility of agricultural ...
Application of do-it-yourself techniques developed in a laboratory within the framework of a degree subject for the characterization of biopolymers
(Universidad Mayor Santiago de Chile, 2020-12-19)
This work shows the importance of the use of do-it-yourself techniques developed in a laboratory within the framework of a degree subject for the characterization of biopolymers. Thermoplastic starch was manufactured from ...
Theoretical and experimental study of M2+ adsorption on biopolymers: III. Comparative kinetic pattern of Pb, Hg and Cd
(Elsevier, 2004-07)
Chitosan, pectin and chitosan-pectin pellets were studied as adsorbents for Cd2+ from acidic aqueous solutions at selected conditions. Several adsorption sites were considered and adsorption mechanisms for the biopolymers-metal ...
Films based on soy protein-agar blends for wound dressing: Effect of different biopolymer proportions on the drug release rate and the physical and antibacterial properties of the films
(SAGE Publications, 2018-04)
No single material can provide all requirements for wound dressings. Here, we evaluated the influence of different soy protein isolate and agar proportions (3:1, 1:1, and 1:3) in blend films on some of their physical-chemical ...
Could essential oils enhance biopolymers performance for wound healing? A systematic review
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018-01)
Background Millions of people in the world suffer from chronic wounds of different etiologies such as diabetic foot and leg ulcers, without solutions nowadays. Molecules obtained from plants offer an alternative to aid ...
Biopolymer production by bacteria isolated from native stingless bee honey, Scaptotrigona jujuyensis
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
The products of stingless bees have been used in traditional medicine. These products have gained economic potential not only for their historical valuation but also to produce added value related to the knowledge of the ...
Biopolymer production by bacteria isolated from native stingless bee honey, Scaptotrigona jujuyensis: Biopolymer production by bacteria from Scaptotrigona jujuyensis
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-08)
The products of stingless bees have been used in traditional medicine. These products have gained economic potential not only for their historical valuation but also to produce added value related to the knowledge of the ...
Starch-Pectin Films Obtained By Extrusion And Compression Molding
(Editorial Management System, 2019-06)
Starch and pectin are biopolymers that can achieve thermoplastic properties and can be processed through extrusion and thermos-compression to obtain edible films. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of starch-pectin ...
Biobased materials from microbial biomass and its derivatives
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-03)
There is a strong public concern about plastic waste, which promotes the development of new biobased materials. The benefit of using microbial biomass for new developments is that it is a completely renewable source of ...
