Sustainable Co-Extraction of Starch and Tannins from Quercus robur Acorns Using Pulsed Electric Field Technology and Evaluation of Starch Gelatinization Properties

Pulsed electric field (PEF) technology was used as a green extraction method for the simultaneous recovery of starch and polyphenols from acorns using water as extraction solvent, and the gelatinization properties of the extracted starch were compared with those of a starch obtained via alkaline extraction. Results sho...

Antimicrobial bilayer starch film containing zein electrospun fibers encapsulating thyme essential oil for cherry tomato packaging.

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of thyme essential oil (TEO) encapsulated in electrospun zein fibers for use in bilayer films as active packaging for cherry tomatoes. The antimicrobial activity of TEO and bilayer films with 20%, 40%, and 60% TEO was assessed with agar diffusion and microatmos...

Waste-Derived Lactic Acid for Polylactic Acid Production: Processes, Challenges, and Prospects

Global plastic production is expected to continue rising in the next few decades, with packaging accounting for roughly one quarter of the total volume of plastic and intensifying interest in biodegradable alternatives such as polylactic acid (PLA). One approach towards bioplastic production is lactic acid fermentation...
