Aim: The current study focuses on the effect of PP nanocomposite multi-layered film on physicochemical properties of stored idli batter and prepared idli cakes. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Food Packaging and System Development at Indian Institute of Food Processing Technology, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India, between Aug 2018 and Dec 2019. Methodology: The developed PP nanocomposite multi-layered film composed with depositing silicon dioxide (SiO2) on polypropylene (PP) film (0.010 mm) and attached with ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH 32%) film (0.066 mm). The Physico-chemical properties of developed multi-layered and commercial PP film stored idli batter with different blend ratios of rice to black gram (3:1 and 4:1) were evaluated in terms of pH, percent titrable acidity (% TA), colour value (∆E), viscosity (cP) and volume measurement (ml). Idli cake prepared with batter stored in multi-layered film and evaluated in terms of colour, texture and percent pore characteristics. The percent pore presents in per square inches of prepared idli cake with different blend ratios and fermentation time were analysed using the grayscale image in MATLAB. Results and Discussion: The pH value of stored batter ranges from 6.7 to 4.5 or lower, to reach pH below 4.5 or lower commercially stored batter took 24 h and batter stored in the multi-layered film took 36 h at ambient temperature. The multi-layered stored batter showed better results of physicochemical properties in terms of fermentation time. Idli cake prepared with 3:1 blend ratio showed good results in terms of textural properties with compared to 4:1 blend ratio. Idli cake prepared with 3:1 blend ratio showed more pore percentage (21.88-36.80%) as compared to 4:1 blend ratio (18-32.98%) in per square inch. Due to higher barrier properties of the multi-layered film, the bacterial count increases at a slow rate and help to extend the shelf life of packaged batter more than 30 h at ambient temperature.

The research purpose was to determine the optimum fermentation time and SBM.3D LAB concentration on the physicochemical of modified Warumbia brown rice flour. This research uses a Completely Randomized Design with a factorial pattern consisting of two factors that are the length of fermentation and the concentration of LAB. The results showed that the interaction of the fermentation time treatment and SBM.3D LAB concentration had a significant effect on the characteristics of physicochemical properties of the viscosity and pH variables. However, it had no significant effect on the swelling power and water solubility index of the modified Warumbia brown rice flour. The best fermentation treatment was obtained at 48 hours of fermentation time with OD 0,75 of SBM.3D LAB concentration. The treatment had viscosity value of 25.00 cP, swelling power of 9.15 g/g, water solubility index of 31.73% and pH value of 6.10. The proximate content Warumbia brown rice flour are water content 8.37% wb, ash content 0.66% db, protein content 5.65% db and glucose content 16.57 % db. The results showed that the interaction between fermentation time and SBM.3D LAB concentration had a significant effect on increasing physicochemical properties and proximate content of the modified Warumbia brown rice flour.

Lignin macromolecules are potential precursor materials for producing electrospun nanofibers for composite applications. However, little is known about the effect of lignin type and blend ratios with synthetic polymers. This study analyzed blends of poly(acrylonitrile-co-methyl acrylate) (PAN-MA) with two types of commercially available lignin, low sulfonate (LSL) and alkali, kraft lignin (AL), in DMF solvent. The electrospinning and polymer blend solution conditions were optimized to produce thermally stable, smooth lignin-based nanofibers with total polymer content of up to 20 wt % in solution and a 50/50 blend weight ratio. Microscopy studies revealed that AL blends possess good solubility, miscibility, and dispersibility compared to LSL blends. Despite the lignin content or type, rheological studies demonstrated that PAN-MA concentration in solution dictated the blend’s viscosity. Smooth electrospun nanofibers were fabricated using AL depending upon the total polymer content and blend ratio. AL’s addition to PAN-MA did not affect the glass transition or degradation temperatures of the nanofibers compared to neat PAN-MA. We confirmed the presence of each lignin type within PAN-MA nanofibers through infrared spectroscopy. PAN-MA/AL nanofibers possessed similar morphological and thermal properties as PAN-MA; thus, these lignin-based nanofibers can replace PAN in future applications, including production of carbon fibers and supercapacitors.

Active films based on carboxymethyl chitosan incorporated corn peptide were developed, and the effect of the concentration of corn peptide on films was evaluated. Physicochemical properties of the films, including thickness, opacity, moisture content, color, mechanical properties, water vapor permeability, and oil resistance, were measured. Biological activities of the films, including the antioxidant and antibacterial activities, were characterized in terms of 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging activity, reducing power, the total antioxidant activity, and the filter disc inhibition zone method. The results indicated that the incorporation of corn peptide caused interactions between carboxymethyl chitosan and corn peptide in Maillard reaction and gave rise to the films light yellow appearance. Compared with the Control, the degree of glycosylation, browning intensity, thickness, opacity, tensile strength, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial activity of films were increased, but the elongation, vapor permeability, and oil resistance of films were decreased. The films based on corn peptide and carboxymethyl chitosan can potentially be applied to food packaging.

Abstract Incorporating bioactive substances into synthetic bioceramic scaffolds is challenging. In this work, oxygen-carboxymethyl chitosan (O-CMC), a natural biopolymer that is nontoxic, biodegradable and biocompatible, was introduced into magnesium potassium phosphate cement (K-struvite) to enhance its mechanical properties and cytocompatibility. This study aimed to develop O-CMC/magnesium potassium phosphate composite bone cement (OMPC), thereby combining the optimum bioactivity of O-CMC with the extraordinary self-setting properties and mechanical intensity of the K-struvite. Our results indicated that O-CMC incorporation increased the compressive strength and setting time of K-struvite and decreased its porosity and pH value. Furthermore, OMPC scaffolds remarkably improved the proliferation, adhesion and osteogenesis related differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Therefore, O-CMC introduced suitable physicochemical properties to K-struvite and enhanced its cytocompatibility for use in bone regeneration.

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea Italica) was fermented by cultures of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as a potential source of natural folic acid. This study aimed to evalte characteristic changes and to identify folate compounds from broccoli extract, fermented by mixed LAB cultures (L. bulgaricus, S. thermophulus, L.acidophilus, Bd. bifidum). The formulation of broccoli extract was fermented with variation of LAB starter culture with concentrations of 10 and 20%(v/v), and the change of characteristic of folic acid compound during fermentation (0 to 48 hours) with an interval of 8 hours was evaluated. The results showed that the fermentation of broccoli extract with different concentration of LAB culture had an effect on the concentration of folic acid produced, as well as the change of concentration of folic acid during the fermentation time interval. The optimum condition was obtained based on the highest folic acid concentration of 6.74%, at culture concentration of 20% during 24 hour fermentation with the value of folic acid concentration of 72.11 μg/mL, pH value of 4.29, total sugars of 34.61%, total acids of 0, 97%, dissolved protein of 14.64 mg/mL and total LAB of log 13.02 + 0.05 cfu / ml.

Photocatalytic is one of the inexpensive and non-toxic techniques for degradation of organic pollutants into harmless substances such as water and carbon dioxide. In this study, simple electrolysis method was used in preparation of Ag/TiO2 and α-Fe2O3/HY catalysts. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were studied using XRD, FTIR, FESEM-EDX and surface area analysis. The pH of solution plays an important role in the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants which influences the surface-charge properties of the catalysts. Ag/TiO2 and α-Fe2O3/HY were used as catalyst on degradation of 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) and methyl orange (MO), respectively. The effect of pH on degradation of 2-CP and MO were investigated over a pH range from 2 to 9. Higher degradation of 2-CP and MO were obtained at pH 5 (74%) and pH 2 (80%), respectively. This finding might be explained by the amphoteric performance of the catalyst using point zero charge (pHZPC). The pHZPC for Ag/TiO2 and α-Fe2O3/HY was found to be at pH 6.3 and pH 7.2, respectively. Hence, the activities of the catalysts may have been affected by the existence of a strong electrostatic field between the positively charged catalysts surface and negatively charged 2-CP and MO caused a pH value lower than their pHZPC give greater degradation.
