© 2015 Elsevier Ltd.New active packaging films based on chitosan (Qo) and a blend of Qo and quinoa-protein (EPQ) were developed. The films were printed with chitosan-tripolyphosphate nanoparticles (NQos) and NQos loaded ...

Films made from sodium caseinate and/or chitosan, using glycerol as plasticizer, were prepared by casting from aqueous solutions. Films cryo-fractured surfaces were examined by SEM. FTIR spectra of the chitosan/caseinate ...

The aim of this work was to improve the performance of quinoa protein/chitosan edible films on the extension of postharvest life of blueberries and tomato cherries by addition of chitosan thymol nanoparticles prepared by ...

The chemical modification of chitosan has been an active subject of research in order to improve the physicochemical and antifungal properties of chitosan-based films. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiochemical ...

Cast films of chitosan and chitosan containing LiClO4 were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the thermogravimetric technique. The electric properties of hydrated and dehydrated films were ...
