Physicochemical properties and potential application of hemicellulose/pectin/nanocellulose biocomposites as active packaging for fatty foods

This review, dedicated to Professor Tomás Torres on the occasion of his 65th birthday, offers an overview of the main achievements in his research career. Having a strong background in organic chemistry, he and his group have constantly devoted much effort to the development of synthetic methods towards novel systems based on phthalocyanines and other porphyrinoid analogues. Not less important, the founding of solid collaborations with other prominent scientists has led to study the physicochemical properties of these [Formula: see text]-conjugated dyes, and to evaluate their potential application in multidisciplinary areas such as self-assembly, nanochemistry, optoelectronics and biomedicine.

Fish skin gelatin can be developed as a raw material for developing biodegradable packaging such as edible film. The present study was to investigate the feasibility of the combination of fish gelatin and addition of roselle powder (GFRP), cinnamon powder (GFCP) and cinnamon essential oil (GFCEO) in producing edible film and to determine protective effect to food product e.g. bread on the physicochemical properties of the active packaging edible films. All the films were analyzed for their physicochemical properties and its observation as the active packaging for bread. It was observed that the addition of roselle powder, cinnamon powder and cinnamon essential oil gave a better result in edible film properties than control (without addition). Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed the distinction among the physicochemical characteristic of GFRP, GFCP and GFCEO. This study also mapped the several physicochemical characteristics of different edible film as packaging treatment.

This work is aimed to investigate the effects of molecular weights on physicochemical properties of fish gelatins and their potential application to food capsule film fabrication. Firstly, high/medium/low component fish gelatins (HCG/MCG/LCG) were obtained by ultrafiltration. Physicochemical property assay results showed that high molecular weight content of gelatin contributed to the increase in gelling strength, viscosity, melting point, and denaturation temperature due to extensive inter–intra molecular interactions. Meanwhile, parameters (temperature, weight ratio, and drying time) had been comprehensively investigated to determine the effects of three molecular weights of gelatins on capsule film manufacture. MCG-derived capsule film was found to achieve good balance among tensile strength, elongation at break, and dissolution rate constant. Furthermore, 90-day acceleration storage stability experiment suggested that MCG showed an appropriate ɛ-amino acid residue content and crosslink density. This work provides a comprehensive insight into the effect of molecular weights on physicochemical properties of fish gelatins and their application in food capsule film manufacture.

Up to date, no extravagant attempts have been made to use the vegetable oil-based polyols as rejuvenator agents for aged asphalts. In this context, the nature and composition of these biodegradable products need to be identified and physicochemical properties of different nature of compounds need to be measured. Three different vegetable oil-based polyols designed as castor oil polyol, soybean flexible polyol, and soybean rigid polyol were characterized by FT-IR, TLC-FID, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR and by the determination of some usual characteristics such as acid value, hydroxyl value, iodine value, and viscosity. It is speculated that the soybean flexible polyol may serve as a potential rejuvenator for aged asphalts.

Spectral Data Analysis

A fluorescent probe based on dicyanovinylphenanthroimidazole (DCPPI) has been designed and synthesized and its potential application to recognize F- and CN- ions via different channels have been tested in different mediums. DCPPI shows intramolecular charge transfer process and exhibit ratiometric response toward F- and CN- ions. The change in physicochemical properties of DCPPI in the presence of cyanide can be attributed to the formation of Michael type adduct, DCPPIA whereas both F- and CN- ions have shown affinities to interact with NH fragment of imidazolyl unit under the condition. The possible mode of interaction has been confirmed by absorption, emission, NMR and ESI-MS spectral data analysis.
