Poly(butylene succinate)-based composites containing β-cyclodextrin/d-limonene inclusion complex

Corn-Starch-Based Materials Incorporated with Cinnamon Oil Emulsion: Physico-Chemical Characterization and Biological Activity

“…So far, data in the literature related to the incorporation of inclusion complexes into the thermoplastic biopolymer matrix are scarce. As a carrier of bioactive cinnamon oil and D-limonene, β-cyclodextrin was used and further incorporated into PLA [36] and PBS [37], respectively. However, there are no data related to the mechanical properties of these materials.…”

Highly thermostable and crystalline poly(butylene adipate) bionanocomposites prepared by in situ polycondensation with organically modified Moroccan beidellite clay

“…Currently, the bioplastics market, including both biodegradable synthetic polymers and non‐biodegradable bio‐based polymers from renewable resources, accounts for less than 0.5% of overall plastics production, but with a yearly growth rate of over 30% . In particular, biodegradable polyesters have attracted considerable attention as substitutes for traditional polymers in high‐volume agriculture and packaging applications, as well as in more specialized biomedical and pharmaceutical areas . Poly(butylene adipate) (PBA) is a linear semi‐crystalline aliphatic polyester of particular interest for its thermal stability, and high biodegradation rate .…”

Antibacterial electrospun zein nanofibrous web encapsulating thymol/cyclodextrin-inclusion complex for food packaging

“…Chen and Liu (2016) showed prolonged antimicrobial activity in the presence of CD-IC of mustard essential oil, due to a reduction in the loss of essential oil during preparation and preservation of films (Chen & Liu, 2016). In a study of Mallardo et al (2016), the thermal stability of limonene was improved and slow release of limonene was achieved (Mallardo et al, 2016). Samperio et al (2010) deduced that CD-ICs increased the solubility of essential oils dramatically up to ten-fold (Samperio et al, 2010).…”

“…Here, the driving force of the complexation is the substitution of the high-enthalpy water molecules, which occupy the cavity, with a guest molecule of appropriate polarity and dimensions (Del Valle, 2004;Szejtli, 1998). Many studies have been reported in the literature on the use of CDs for food-related applications (Chen & Liu, 2016;López-de-Dicastillo, Jordá, Catalá, Gavara, & Hernández-Munoz, 2011;Mallardo et al, 2016;Samperio et al, 2010). Chen and Liu (2016) showed prolonged antimicrobial activity in the presence of CD-IC of mustard essential oil, due to a reduction in the loss of essential oil during preparation and preservation of films (Chen & Liu, 2016).…”
