Edible films containing natural antimicrobials, like natamycin and nisin, constitute an emerging technology that provides an additional stress factor for food preservation. However, it has been observed that edible films ...

The tilapia fileting industry generates large amounts of nutritionally significant waste material, and the recovery of this material is important. The manufacture of restructured products from mechanically recovered fish ...

The effect of sorbate present on mechanical properties of edible films prepared with suspensions of tapioca starch containing glycerol, was studied. Films were prepared by casting the systems after gelatinization. The ...

Response surface methodology was applied to study the effect of different levels of tapioca starch (TS) and xanthan gum (XG) on physical properties of edible films supporting potassium sorbate (KS) with the goal of ...

The effect of different gelatinization and drying techniques on physical properties of tapioca starch edible films containing sorbates were studied. Method 1 assayed involved 40 min of gelatinization (rate: 1.6 °C/min and ...

In the present work, gluten-free formulations for breadmaking, destined to celiac people, were studied. A base blend of tapioca starch and corn flour (80:20) and typical bread ingredients such as yeast, salt, sugar and ...

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 ...
