[EN] The alginate industry processes more than hundred thousand tons per year of algae in Europe, discarding around 80% of the algae biomass as different solid/liquid residual streams. In this work, Saccharina latissima ...

This work analyses the effect of lipid addition (oleic acid, beeswax and oleic acid-beeswax mixtures) as well as the influence of the relative humidity (RH), or the equilibrium water content of the films, on the permeability ...

The development of novel bio-based materials with antimicrobial properties for active packaging applications is a topic of significant interest. The current PhD thesis deals with the development of biotechnologically derived ...

[ES] La deficiencia del enzima β-galactosidasa, responsable de la hidrólisis de la lactosa, provoca un desorden alimenticio denominado intolerancia a la lactosa. Actualmente, la industria alimentaria obtiene alimentos ...

[ES] En este trabajo, se han desarrollado distintas disoluciones formadoras de recubrimiento (DFR) a base de kappa, iota y lambda carragenatos y extracto de té verde (GTE) como una estrategia innovadora para garantizar la ...

[EN] The use of latent heat storage materials containing phase change materials (PCM's) is an effective way of buffering thermal fluctuations and has the advantages of high-energy storage density and the isothermal nature ...

[EN] Mainly due to environmental aims, petroleum-based plastics are being replaced by natural polymers. In the last decades, starch has been evaluated in its film-forming ability for applications in the food packaging area. ...

[EN] Starch films are very hygroscopic and undergo crystallization during processing and storage. In this work, fatty acids (SA, PA and OA) were incorporated into starch films containing glycerol as plasticizer, in order ...

[EN] Alginates are industrially relevant polysaccharides widely used in the food and biomedical industries for their excellent gelling properties. The growing emphasis on the valorization of marine resources has evidenced ...

[ES] El objetivo de este trabajo de fin de máster fue evaluar distintos agares extraídos a partir del alga Gelidium sesquipedale con el fin de valorar su potencial para encapsular una cepa de probióticos con alto potencial ...
