Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The search for better strategies to preserve foods with minimal changes during processing has been of great interest in recent decades. Traditionally, edible films and coatings have been used as a partial barrier to moisture, oxygen, and carbon dioxide through selective permeability to gases, as well as improving mechanical handling properties. The advances in this area have been breathtaking, and in fact their implementation in the industry is already a reality. Even so, there are still new developments in various fields and from various perspectives worth reporting. Edible Films and Coatings: Fundamentals and Applications discusses the newest generation of edible films and coatings that are being especially designed to allow the incorporation and/or controlled release of specific additives by means of nanoencapsulation, layer-by-layer assembly, and other promising technologies. Covering the latest novelties in research conducted in the field of edible packaging, it considers state-of-the-art innovations in coatings and films; novel applications, particularly in the design of gourmet foods; new advances in the incorporation of bioactive compounds; and potential applications in agronomy, an as yet little explored area, which could provide considerable advances in the preservation and quality of foods in the field.

Download or read book Development and Characterization of Edible Films Based on Cassava Starch glycerol Blends to Incorporate Nutraceuticals written by Edith Castro de Cruz and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edible films are thin layers made of materials such as starch and proteins. Starch is a polysaccharide that could be interesting in the edible film technology. An important starch source is cassava, produced abundantly, inexpensive, and is able to form films. However, for the production of edible film with good flexibility, a plasticizer such as glycerol is usually utilized and it can affect film physical properties. In addition, the current research on edible films is focused on the addition of active compounds that improve the food packaging and/or bring health benefits to consumers. One of those active compounds are nutraceuticals, diet supplements necessary for metabolism and to prevent diseases. Iron is one of the minerals that people do not consume in enough amounts and its deficiency may cause anemia. Therefore, the objectives of this research were: (1) Formulate a solution of cassava starch-glycerol that can effectively carry nutraceuticals into the matrix; and (2) Investigate the impacts of iron gluconate on properties and functionalities of the films. Results obtained from gloss values, morphology and rheology of starch concentrations, it was determined that 3% cassava starch produced homogeneous and transparent films. Also, the results obtained with the addition of glycerol exhibited increased the gelatinization temperature, gelatinization enthalpy, and drying time. The tensile strength decreased with the glycerol content and Elongation at break decreased between 0 to 20% glycerol. It appears that glycerol can exert an antiplasticizing effect because glycerol did not affect the extensibility of plasticized films when it is introduced at low levels. Data from moisture sorption isotherms found that the more appropriate models to fit the experimental data were GAB (R2=0.85) and BET (R2=0.9). Also, was detected the retrogradation of films during drying and films with glycerol needs the double of time to start retrogradation than films with no glycerol. Based on these results, the best formulation with good properties is 3% cassava and 30% glycerol. Lastly, the results obtained with the incorporation of iron gluconate (IG) showed that apparent viscosity of solutions increased as IG concentration increased. Color of films were affected by IG, especially b* values due to its yellowish appearance. The GAB and BET model determined that allowed to determine the water adsorption values at the monolayer level (mo), and all films with IG adsorbed less water than films with no IG. Also, the addition of IG increased tensile strength and elongation at break. From the release kinetics of IG, no definitive conclusion could be drawn concerning the dominating release mechanism. This study demonstrated the capability of cassava-glycerol blends to carry iron gluconate.

Download or read book Novel Plant Protein Processing written by Zakir Showkat Khan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-12-29 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteins serve as an important nutritional as well as structural component of foods. Not only do they provide an array of amino acids necessary for maintaining human health but also act as thickening, stabilizing, emulsifying, foaming, gelling, and binding agents. The ability of a protein to possess and demonstrate such unique functional properties depends largely on its inherent structure, configuration, and how they interact with other food constituents, like, polysaccharides, lipids, and polyphenolic compounds. Proteins from animal sources have superior functionality, higher digestibility, and lower anti-nutrient components than plant proteins. However, consumer preferences are evolving worldwide for ethically and sustainably sourced, clean, cruelty-free, vegan or vegetarian plant-based food products. Unlike proteins from animal sources, plant proteins are more versatile, religiously, and culturally acceptable among vegetarian and vegan consumers and associated with lower food processing waste, water, and soil requirement. Thus, the processing and utilization of plant proteins have gained worldwide attention and as such numerous scientific studies are focusing on enhancing the utilization of plant proteins in food and pharmaceutical products through various processing and modification techniques to improve their techno-functional properties, bioactivity, bioavailability, and digestibility.
