Properties of glycerol monostearate-based oleogels enriched with -carotene and ...
Barroso, Noadia Genuario; Okuro, Paula Kiyomi; Martins, Artur; Pastrana, Lourenço; Vicente, A. A.; Cerqueira, Miguel Ângelo; Cunha, Rosiane Lopes daOleogels are semi-solid systems that can function either as replacers of trans and saturated fats and/or as carriers for bioactive compounds. However, interactions and behavior of bioactive compounds when added to oleogels are not fully understood. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of incorporating lipophilic bioactive compounds into oleogel matrices. Sunflower oil was structured with glyce...
Hydrogel as an alternative structure for food packaging systems
Batista, Rejane Andrade; Espitia, Paula Judith Perez; Quintans, Jullyana de Souza Siqueira; Freitas, Mayanna Machado; Cerqueira, Miguel ÂngeloHydrogels are three-dimensional, hydrophilic networks, comprising polymeric chains linked through physical or chemical bonds. In the area of food, hydrogels have great potential to be used in food packaging systems or as carriers of bioactive components. This paper reviews the nature of hydrogels, their 3D network conformation, their functional properties, and their potential applications in food packaging syst...
Bacterial cellulose nanofiber-based films incorporating gelatin hydrolysate fro...
Lima, Helder Levi Silva; Gonçalves, Catarina; Cerqueira, Miguel Ângelo; do Nascimento, Elégenes Sampaio; Gama, F. M.; Rosa, Morsyleide F.In this work, films based on bacterial cellulose nanofibers (BCNFs) incorporating gelatin hydrolysate (GH) from tilapia skin were produced. The effect of plasticizer (sorbitol or glycerol) and GH incorporation was evaluated on the physicalchemical and optical properties of films. BCNFs were produced using bacterial cellulose obtained from Hestrin and Schramm (HS) medium (BCNF-HS) or cashew apple juice (BCNF-CM)...
