Abstract:Calcium alginate based controlled release films with moderate mechanical properties were fabricated in this paper. The diffusion mechanism of these films contacting food simulating solvent (FSS) was explored in some detail. With the increase of glycerol content, the diffusion coefficient (D) values of cinnamon essential oils (CEOs) diffusing to ethanol first increased slowly (0.3–0.6 mL), then vigorously (0.6–0.9 mL), and then mildly (0.9–1.2 mL). The D values of the CEOs diffused to water are all in the order… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
