The interest in edible packaging films as a possible substitute for petrochemical-based films has been growing over the last years. Blends of proteins and polysaccharides can be an alternative to enhance edible film ...

The aim of this work was to produce biodegradable films based on the pectin and cocoa puree reinforced with chitosan nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were obtained by the ionotropic gelation. Films were produced according to ...

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 ...

The aims of this work were to analyze the effects of high methoxyl pectin (HMP) and isomalt concentrations on the physical properties of pectin-based films. Films were developed using HMP (1.5% and 3.0% w/v) and isomalt ...

BACKGROUND: Edible films were obtained from aqueous emulsions prepared with low-methoxyl pectin at different concentrations (10, 20 and 30 g kg−1) and two sunflower wax samples recovered from two waste samples of filter ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the physical properties of aqueous solutions of pectin (PA) containing sunflower wax (SFW), which are used as a basis for producing edible films. The stability and the rheological ...

Pectin (P) and pectin–alginate (PAL) edible films, developed for antioxidant preservation, were placed on agar cylinders, mimicking food materials, in order to understand the release of l-(+)-ascorbic acid (AA) from the ...

The present study aims to develop through casting, functional composite edible films based on pectin using beetroot powder and red cabbage powder as fillers obtained from by-products of plant tissue industrialisation. ...
