In vitro bioactivity and cytotoxicity of films based on mesocarp of Orbignya sp. and carboxymethylcellulose as a tannic acid release matrix

Effects of Chitosan and Cellulose Derivatives on Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose-Based Films: A Study of Rheological Properties of Film-Forming Solutions

“…As shown in Figure 7 , the cell viability on all of the films was above 90%, indicating that all CMC-based films were non-toxic and independent of the type of additive used. This result is consistent with previous reports [ 54 , 55 , 56 ], confirming the safety of CMC-based films for use in food packaging materials.…”

Desenvolvimento e caracterização de filmes curativos à base de mesocarpo de Attalea speciosa Mart. ex Spreng e extrato glicólico de Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f.

“…Os resultados obtidos concordam com os estudos de Carvalho, et al (2018), que testaram o extrato de Aloe vera o qual apresentou baixa citotoxicidade em macrófagos. As propriedades antiinflamatórias dessa planta bloqueiam a inflamação e estimulam o crescimento de fibroblastos, acelerando o processo de cicatrização.…”

“…As propriedades antiinflamatórias dessa planta bloqueiam a inflamação e estimulam o crescimento de fibroblastos, acelerando o processo de cicatrização. De Sousa Leal et al (2018) identificaram uma baixa citotoxicidade em macrófagos peritoneais de camundongos Balb de filmes de mesocarpo de Orbignya sp. e carboximetilcelulose para aplicação como matriz de liberação de fármacos.…”

Bioactive compounds and benefits of by-products of Amazon babassu oil production: potential for dietary supplement, biomedical and food applications

“…15 Since then, researchers’ attention has increasingly focused on new products and technologies based on babassu derivatives for food science and technology, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, aiming at delivery systems for nutraceutical foods and novel therapy approaches. 16–18 In the last two decades, there have been reports in the literature on the significant health benefits and biological properties of babassu derivatives and nut residues for relevant applications in food additives and packaging and in the medical and pharmaceutical 19 fields: antiinflammation, 17,20,21 immunomodulation, 18,21–24 antioxidant, 13,25–29 antimicrobial, 2,16,21,25,30–32 anticancer, 23,33,34 antiprotozoal, 22 and antithrombotic properties, 35 and potential food supplements against dyslipidemia have all been described. 36 Furthermore, babassu mesocarp showed potential to treat leishmaniasis 24 and other infectious diseases caused by intracellular pathogens.…”

“…37 For example, babassu mesocarp is a starch-rich fraction that stands out as a bioactive and biodegradable material for active packaging applications to extend the shelf life of foods. 13,25–29 The mesocarp could be a nutritious alternative to wheat flour in baking, 38 and an alternative adjuvant for developing novel vaccines and platforms against infectious diseases. 18,24 In materials engineering, babassu oil by-products (endocarp, mesocarp, epicarp, and activated carbon) were predicted to be promising adsorptive materials with potential as adsorptive species for inorganic and organic molecules.…”
