This study investigates the potential of acetylated xylan as a functional component in coatings for biodegradable paper-based food packaging. Acetylated xylan was synthesized in the laboratory via the reaction of native beechwood xylan with acetic an...
Uncontrolled hemorrhage is a major global health issue, causing high mortality rates in both civilian and military settings. The risk of infection in bleeding wounds highlights the need for effective hemostatic materials. Natural polysaccharides are...
This work aims to develop bio-based and biodegradable materials for active food packaging purposes by comparing the properties of avocado seed flour (ASF) and avocado extracted starch (AES). A 36.4% dry basis yield is obtained for the extracted AES f...
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as sustainable and tunable alternatives to conventional solvents for the extraction of polysaccharides. This review presents a structure-informed framework linking DES composition to polysaccharide solubilit...
Probiotics offer significant health benefits; however, their efficacy is often compromised by low survival rates in stressful conditions. Microencapsulation using modified starches presents a promising strategy to enhance probiotic viability. This st...
Chitosan, a biopolymer with molecular variability, continues to demonstrate promising potential for biomedical and biotechnological applications. In this study, mixtures of β-oligochitosan, with a low molar mass (MM) of 1.5 kDa (CH1), α-ol...
This study aimed to develop synbiotic edible films based on fish gelatin containing Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG, evaluating the impact of different prebiotics (inulin and fructooligosaccharides, FOSs) and structuring polysaccharides (pectin and a...
Achieving precise drug release in the colon remains a key objective in therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Natural polysaccharides, including high-amylose starch (HAS) and pectin, offer relevant characteristics for localized drug delivery...
Soybean residue, kudzu root residue, astragalus residue and pomegranate peel residue are byproducts of food processing with high yield. In the food processing industry in Northwest China, these waste residues contain a large amount of nutrients and h...
In this work, ethyl cellulose nanoparticles loaded with rosemary extract (RCL-NPs) were synthesized and utilized to reinforce high-density polyethylene (HDPE) packaging bags as a nanotechnological alternative for rabbit meat preservation. The synthes...
