The preparation and characterization of biodegradable bilayer films from isolated soy protein (SPI) and poly (lactic acid) (PLA) were carried out in this work. The films showed high transparency and strong adhesion between ...

Nowadays, there is a pronounced interest in the potential use of biopolymer/layered silicate systems as active food packaging. This manuscript studied the effect of clove essential oil addition to soy protein–montmorillonite ...

Composite films in coacervation condition offer an alternative to change properties of protein-based films, and they present potential applications such as inclusion, stabilization, and release of bioactive compounds in ...

In this paper, we report the preparation of nanofibers obtained from low-cost agro-industrial by-products (soybean hulls and pods) and their use as nano reinforcers of soy protein films. From hulls, we obtained white and ...

The structure-function relationship of composite films obtained from soybean-protein isolate (SPI) and cod gelatin was studied. Films with different ratios of SPI:gelatin (0, 25, 50, 75, 100% [w/w]) and plasticized by a ...

Changes in solubility and molecular properties of protein films obtained from soy protein isolate (SPI) solutions at different pH values (2, 8 and 11) were investigated to study protein behavior during film formation. ...

In this work the effect of montmorillonite (MMT) addition to soy-protein-based films on the physicochemical properties of the resulting nanocomposites was studied and the structure–function relationship of these materials ...

The modification of soy protein isolate (SPI) with different amounts of a naturally occurring cross-linking agent (genipin, Gen) and glycerol used as plasticizer was carried out in this work. The films yielded were cast ...
