Optimization of Microfibrillated and Nanofibrillated Cellulose Coating to Improve Performance of Paperboard Intended for Food Packaging Applications

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
This study aims to optimise the application methods of a biobased suspension of micro/nano cellulose fibrils from agro‐biomass subjected to high‐pressure homogenisation. Two methods were selected, bar coating (BC) and spray coating (SC), and were tested using an LF factorial design with 3 levels and 2 factors.

Giardia Cyst Wall Protein 1 Is a Lectin That Binds to Curled Fibrils of the GalNAc Homopolymer [PDF]

, 2010
The infectious and diagnostic stage of Giardia lamblia (also known as G. intestinalis or G. duodenalis) is the cyst. The Giardia cyst wall contains fibrils of a unique β-1,3-linked N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) homopolymer and at least three cyst wall ...

Investigating the Three‐Dimensional Forming of Microfibrillated Cellulose‐Coated Paperboard With Full and Localised Coatings in Thermoforming, Hydroforming and Deep Drawing

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
The 3D formability of paperboard was examined using full and localised microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) coatings in thermoforming, hydroforming and deep drawing, and the results were linked to bulge‐test strain behaviour. Full‐surface fluidised MFC coatings consistently improved strain capacity and 3D formability, achieving performance comparable to ...

Thermo-mechanical processing of sugar beet pulp. I. Twin-screw extrusion process [PDF]

, 2006
Sugar beet pulp (SBP) is the raffinate of sugar extraction. Composed of empty vegetal cells, three quarters of it consist of polysaccharides. As it is cheap and produced in great quantities SBP is a potential raw material for industrial applications ...

Deciphering Branched Galactomannan Structures via Multistage Ion Mobility MS and MSn Fragmentation (Multistage IMSn)

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale Hemicelluloses are abundant carbohydrate components in plant cell walls. They play a crucial structural role in binding cellulose microfibrils, in addition to other biological functions. Their high structural variability directly influences their biological properties, making it important to establish a structure–function ...

Low-Voltage SEM of Natural Plant Fibers: Microstructure Properties (Surface and Cross-Section) and their Link to the Tensile Properties [PDF]

, 2017
In this study, the microstructure of different natural plant fibers (flax, jute, ramie, and sisal fibers) were characterized by using low-voltage Scanning Electron Microscopy (LV-SEM).

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Cellulose and lignin are the regulators of seed hardness in guava (Psidium guajava L.) fruit: Insights for processing and fresh consumption

Applied Food Research
Seed hardness adversely affects consumer preference and hence is an important economic trait in guava breeding (Psidium guajava L.). In this study, seed hardness was studied in 18 guava genotypes along with other related seed, fruit, and biochemical ...
