The antimicrobial activity of edible films from whey proteins, alginate, zein and chitosan incorporated with polylysine (PL) and PL- ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Na 2EDTA) combination have been tested on different ...

The aim of this study was controlled release of lysozyme by modification of hydrophobicity and morphology of zein films using composite and blend film making methods. The incorporation of beeswax, carnauba or candelilla ...

This study aimed to develop essential oil (EO)-containing antimicrobial coatings for the inhibition of pathogenic bacteria contamination on fruit peels. Incorporation of eugenol (EUG), carvacrol (CAR), and thymol (THY) ...

To eliminate their classical brittleness and flexibility problems zein films were plasticized by incorporation of different phenolic acids (gallic acid (GA), p-hydroxy benzoic acid (HBA) or ferulic acids (FA)) or flavonoids ...

In this study, functional properties of proteins from Turkish Kabuli type chickpea (CPEs) and green and red lentil cultivars (LPEs) were characterized and compared with those of soy and animal proteins. The LPEs and whey ...

The antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of zein and zein-wax composite films having different release profiles for lysozyme and mixture of lysozyme, catechin and gallic acid were tested on cold-stored fresh Kashar ...

In food industry, natural hydrocolloids have been extensively used to increase the functionality of different food products such as beverages, bakery and confectionery, sauces and dressings, and meat and poultry. Conventional ...

The main aim of this review paper was to focus on current and potential future sources and food applications of natural hydrocolloids in the food industry. The emerging research trends, problems, new methods and alternative ...
