Starch-based films can have their poor technological properties improved by lipid supplementation using emulsification step as strategy. Our aim was to evaluate the incorporation of carnauba wax (0−15 wt%) using emulsion ...

The initial characteristics of emulsions and the rearrangement of the oil droplets in the film matrix during film drying, which defines its microstructure, has an important role in the physical properties of the emulsion-based ...

The strategy of adding hydrophobic compounds to bio-based films (usually based on hydrophilic matrices), forming films containing emulsions, is a technique that has been used to improve some physical properties (such as ...

The properties of plasticized chitosan-olive oil emulsion films prepared with increasing oil concentrations were investigated. Emulsifying nature of chitosan was enough to stabilize olive oil droplets in the film forming ...

The objective of this work was to study the effect of the freezing process on physical properties of whey protein emulsion films with different beeswax content dried at 5 ºC. Thickness, microstructure, water vapour ...

Edible films with whey protein concentrate (WPC) with a lipid component, sunflower oil (O) or beeswax (W), to enhance barrier to water vapor were obtained. Brea gum was used as emulsifier and also as matrix component. In ...

Modified sodium caseinate films were prepared by casting of film forming emulsions prepared by adding different contents of a linseed oil based resin (LOR) into the aqueous protein solution. Infrared spectroscopy of the ...

The objective of this work was to study the effect of drying temperature and the beeswax (BW) content on the physical properties of whey protein emulsion films. For this purpose, films were obtained by the casting method ...
