Development of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose film with xanthan gum and its application as an excellent food packaging bio-material in enhancing the shelf life of banana

The Importance of Antioxidant Biomaterials in Human Health and Technological Innovation: A Review

“…They must present characteristics such as immunogenicity, availability, low production cost, and resistance to sterilization processes to be considered biodegradable, economical, and promising alternatives for applications in different industrial areas [ 7 ]. The conscious production of biomaterials presents a viable and sustainable alternative for replacing packaging [ 8 ] and textile materials [ 9 ], as well as applications in the areas of biomedicine and dentistry [ 10 , 11 ]. Some biomaterials show biological properties derived from raw material sources.…”

Assessment of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose with corn silk polysaccharides to enhance packaging performance and stability of low moisture mozzarella cheese

“…Brie y, the lms were adjusted into 150 mm × 15 mm, and the thickness of each random point in the diametrical end and middle of the HPM-CS lms was characterized [21]. Concerning WVP, the saturation method [7] was…”

“…The same manners were observed by continues substitution of CS inside HPM lms (HPM-CS1 and HPM-CS2). It was postulated that the addition of polysaccharides to HPMC could make enhanced interaction which seemed to have altered the crystalline state and resulted in the diffraction peak position changing to get favorable characters of lms [7]. However, the increasing of CSP substitution rate inside HPM (HPM-CS4) caused defect in crystallinity shape refers to incompatibility between higher concentrations from CS and HPM.…”

“…Among hydrocolloids, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPM) is a water soluble and derived from cellulose modi cation. It has satis ed properties such as: less opaqueness, biocompatible, renewable, cheap, resistant to oil and can form gas barrier [6,7]. The combination process between biopolymers or grafting by plant extracts was exploited previously to enhance lms characteristics to raise the shelf life or maintain the quality of food products by obstructing microbial activity, oxidation phenomenon and moisture loss [7][8][9].…”

Corn silk (CS) (stigma maydis) is a by-product obtained in large quantities after the corn is harvested which, is rich in many components such as carbohydrates, avonoids, saponins and terpenes [10,11].…”
