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 ...

Th is book presents an exhaustive review on the use of polymers for food applications. Polymer-based systems for food applications such as: films, foams, nano- and microencapsulated, emulsions, hydrogels, prebiotics, 3D ...

Films obtained by casting, starting from conventional emulsions (CE), nanoemulsions (NE) or their gels, which led to different structures, with the aim of explore the relationship between structure and physical properties, ...

Interest in polymer technology based on biodegradable and edible films has increased dramatically, in hopes of creating a circular economy with little to no environmental impact. In this study nanocomposite films with a ...

This work shows the application of an ultrasonic multiple-scattering sensor for monitoring water-in-petroleum emulsions. The sensor consists of a commercial ultrasonic transducer with an array of cylindrical scatterers ...

The behavior of water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions during in situ combustion was studied for three different crude oils. The variables studied were shear rate, water content, level of oxidation, and the addition of silica ...
