[EN] Featured Application: The present study aims to develop novel pectin-based films by electrospinning. The here -prepared films were applied as aroma barrier interlayers between two biopolymer films to develop fully ...
[EN] The electrospinnability of FucoPol, a bacterial exopolysaccharide, is presented for the first time, evaluated alone and in combination with other polymers, such as polyethylene oxide (PEO) and pullulan. The obtained ...
[EN] Novel active films of polylactide (PLA) containing extract of Allium ursinum L. (AU), also called wild garlic, at 10 wt% were succesfully prepared by the electrospinning technology. Electrospinning of the AU-containing ...
[EN] Novel green composites based on commercial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) filled with 10 wt % rice husk flour (RHF) were melt-compounded in a mini-mixer unit using triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) as compatibilizer and ...
