In this paper, films based on tapioca starch and containing nisin, natamycin and glycerol were characterized in relation to their physicochemical properties, roughness and hydrophobicity. The content of glycerol affected ...

This paper focuses on the prediction of the dimensionless retention time (DRT) of proteins in hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) by means of mathematical models based on the statistical description of the amino ...

Copolyester thermoplastic elastomers (COPE) have interesting mechanical properties but low chemical resistance in aggressive environments. Developing a treatment that would increase their chemical resistance while preserving ...

The aim of this study was the production and characterization of gelatin-based films using hydrophobic plasticizers derived from citric acid and soy lecithin as emulsifier. The films were characterized as to their mechanic ...

Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and rosmarinic acid (RA), phenolic compounds found in various plants and functional foods, have known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In the present study, we comparatively ...
