Citric Acid‐Crosslinked Chitosan Coatings Incorporating Curcumin for Enhancement of Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties

open access: yesJournal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
A fully bio‐based coating was developed using Chitosan, Citric acid, and Curcumin. Citric acid acts simultaneously as a green solvent and non‐toxic crosslinker. Dry Heat Treatment enhances water resistance and thermal stability, creating an active packaging system with dual antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to extend food shelf‐life.

Bioplastics

open access: yes, 2006
De vraag naar bioplastics die geschikt zijn als voedselverpakkingen is de afgelopen jaren sterk gestegen. Dit komt doordat er een sterke interesse is voor alternatieven voor polyethyleen (PE), polypropyleen (PP) en polyethyleentereftalaat (PET),die de negatieve associatie oproepen van afvalbergen, zwerfvuil en milieuvervuiling.
