Preparation and characterization of potato starch-thymol dispersion and film as potential antioxidant and antibacterial materials

Physical, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of modified peanut protein isolate based films incorporating thymol

“…Previous studies have also found that TML has antioxidant activity, and the addition of TML to lm matrix conferred antioxidant ability on the lm. 56,57 The present study conrms those ndings.…”

INCORPORATION OF ESSENTIAL OILS FROM Piper aduncum INTO FILMS MADE FROM ARROWROOT STARCH: EFFECTS ON THEIR PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY

“…3 Starch is a very promising biopolymer in the development of biodegradable films due to its high availability and low cost. 4,5 Films made from starch are biodegradable, non-toxic, shiny and transparent. 6 Arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) is native to Latin America and has rhizomes which provide high starch content.…”

Ultralow Cost Electrochemical Sensor Made of Potato Starch and Carbon Black Nanoballs to Detect Tetracycline in Waters and Milk

“…CB was chosen because it is suitable as electrode material due to its high conductivity, chemical stability, large surface area, ability to form homogeneous films and enhanced eletron transfer kinetics in electrochemical sensors . Potato starch, on its turn, can be obtained at very low cost owing to its abundance and origin from renewable sources . Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate extracted mainly from herbaceous sources such as wheat, potato, rice, corn (maize), quinoa, chestnut and tapioca .…”

“…Potato starch, on its turn, can be obtained at very low cost owing to its abundance and origin from renewable sources . Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate extracted mainly from herbaceous sources such as wheat, potato, rice, corn (maize), quinoa, chestnut and tapioca . Starch molecules are composed of two gluco‐homopolysaccharides containing about 20–30 % w/w of amylose and about 70–80 % w/w of amylopectin .…”

“…Starch molecules are composed of two gluco‐homopolysaccharides containing about 20–30 % w/w of amylose and about 70–80 % w/w of amylopectin . Potato starch (PS) is biocompatible, biodegradable and amenable to be modified with carbon nanomaterials to improve its mechanical and conducting properties . With such features, PS has been used in the food industry, in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications , and in electrochemical sensors .…”
