Antibacterial, mechanical, and barrier properties of sago starch film incorporated with betel leaves extract

Barrier and physical properties of arrowroot starch-carrageenan based biofilms

“…It can be seen that WVTR reduced with the increasing of arrowroot-starch concentration. This may be due to that the arrowroot-starch molecule increases the bonds between the carrageenan and reduce the water content of the films, therefore the water vapor transfer through the films also reduce (Nouri and Nafchi 2014). This result is similar with previous study about sago starch film enriched with betel leaves extract (Nouri and Nafchi 2014) and edible cassava starch incorporated with rosemary extract (Piñeros-Hernandez et al 2017).…”

Effects of κ-carrageenan on rheological properties of dually modified sago starch: Towards finding gelatin alternative for hard capsules

“…Starch from sago is the only example of an industrial starch derived from the trunk of the sago palm (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.). Gelatinization temperature of sago starches varies from 69.5 to 70.2 • C (Karim, Tie, Manan, & Zaidul, 2008;Nouri & Mohammadi Nafchi, 2014).…”

Recent Advances on the Development of Antibacterial Polysaccharide-Based Materials

“…One of the first approaches comprises the use of phenolic-rich plant extracts as will be highlighted by the following examples (Corrales et al 2009;Kuorwel et al 2014;Li et al 2013;Nouri and Mohammadi Nafchi 2014;Pyla et al 2010).…”

“…The authors highlighted the effect of the addition of Scutellaria baicalensis and Schisandra chinensis extracts, which, despite some decrease in mechanical properties (e.g., extensibility) and water resistance, induced strong antibacterial properties on the films. Nouri et al (2014) studied the biological activity of sago starch films incorporating different contents of betel leaf ethanolic extract, showing a decrease in tensile strength with increasing elongation with growing extracts content, whereas the water and oxygen permeability increased. These films were claimed to show a good inhibitory activity against nonspecified Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria with the exception of P. aeruginosa.…”
